  1. If I've sorted the broken washing machine by then I'm in for sure!
  2. You could have warned me, I thought we were mates after that time we met briefly walking up a moerse climb in 2011? Maar nee ....
  3. Etter [emoji27] need to check up a few things before next time but thanks Swiss - war Spaß
  4. No problem I'm still getting up at 5 anyway as I always did
  5. Depending how tomorrow afternoon's first 'race' goes for me I might join you ... Not sure all the tech and stuff I have going here will work and for that long but we'll see
  6. I have to master the technology still so never mind the lack of legs ... We'll have you see how it goes!
  7. I'm gonna need a little help how to join?
  8. I'll keep training but the Rouvy rides don't count do they? Or is there a trick I don't know ... Use the Garmin at the same time?
  9. Right finally something I can maybe join and see what the excitement is about ????
  10. Mine did go through later yesterday ... 300 done so I can just chill the rest of the week [emoji12]
  11. I never thought I could either but desperate times call for desperate measures ... Done 2 hour sessions the last 3 days Day 1 - using my Garmin with speed, cadence, HR and power (PowerCAL) sensor (GPS off so I don't get those silly look at me going in circles type displays) and watching a training video with its associated repeated instrumental music. Was almost a 2 hour interval blimmin session but kept the boredom away. Was pretty stuffed after and soaked through and through Day 2 - the same as the first day but with my own music and the intensity a little lower Day 3 - got access to Rouvy, set everything up but unfortunately could only use it on my Samsung S6 phone so the display is a bit small but I could still ride a route. As it's a dumb trainer took me a little while to work out what was going on, speed is not from the speed sensor as an example, somehow calculated from your effort so when it goes up you need to increase your effort, I used a harder gear, to keep speed up etc. Still used my own music! Will probably mix it up between the Rouvy routes and the training videos as long as it's necessary. Plan is to ride something every day. BTW - sit ups are hard!
  12. Exactly .... My family and friends were shocked when I mentioned that!
  13. Cool, still waiting ... mine should also meet that goal hopefully cause after this I want to muck around a bit with Rouvy
  14. Had you entered Comrades?
  15. The only pic I'll share till I can go out again ... Later sports fans!
  16. Intended to watch training videos on YouTube to keep my brain occupied ... Nothing interactive about it. Wasn't going to invest in a 'smart' trainer knowing that once this is over I'll hopefully never need it again. @CAAD4 dumb trainer and TV some may say even the rider [emoji12] ... I connect my iPad via HDMI and like I said just watch YouTube training videos. Plenty around, we'll see how it goes. Also new to me, day 1 today will report back as it times passes
  17. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would come to this [emoji47]
