[NMCycling] Dumb smart trainer question - it keeps walking on me

[John Vance via Bike-racers]

I seem to have solved the problem.  I moved the back feet of the Kickr Core
off of the trainer mat.  The rubber feet appear to have more grip on the
floor.  Two hours of riding yesterday including a couple of 16% grades and
the trainer has not budged.

@Aileen the only drug I'm taking right now is a chewable aspirin a day.
Cherry flavored - yum.  Maybe I have a spiked batch?
