Some really cool setups here and I know for many this is the only option at winter time but fortunately for me I can ride during the day  :devil:

 

I do have a set of rollers and it has to be exceptional circumstances (it's snowed for a week for example) before I drag that thing out ....

Pain cave is a harsh term.

 

What I've learnt over the past decade using a VR trainer is that there are some really important things to lessen the boredom and ease the pain.

 

A permanent or semi permanent set up so it's just get on and ride

Fan and good ventilation

Decent wired or wireless headphones

Sound

Internet access

Media player

Towels

Hydration

Everything within arm distance

 

I use an old Cannondale with the exact geometry of my current road bike mounted permanently on my older Tacx Fortius VR trainer, specific trainer wheel with blue tyre.  ANT+ cadence and speed paired to TTS 4 software over ANT+ dongle.  I use my main server with a split screen service to the trainer with a mouse but to keyboard. 2nd screen is an older XP PC for entertainment with bluetooth headphones. Firefox for Youtube and AVS Media player for shows/movies.

 

And a view of the Tokai mast to know where I'm going when allowed out again.
