Veebee Posted July 6, 2017 Share i've done just one 2 hour ride on Zwift. Anything longer would be too much to handle, I would rather be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Hubs Posted July 6, 2017 Share At the moment I get home and put on the last hr of the TDF with this view I even leave the underfloor heating on to simulate summer With Disturbed playing hard and loud, the neighbors know when I'm doing intervals ClydeB1, s14phoenix and Jakkals. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakkals. Posted July 6, 2017 Share talk about fan, it doesnt work properly, I have a big one, still hot. I remember from my days away auditing, the b&b all had aircons and I use to take my old school idt with me, that aircon did the trick properly in cooling me off.

I remember from my days away auditing, the b&b all had aircons and I use to take my old school idt with me, that aircon did the trick properly in cooling me off. I enjoy the aircon inside when everyone is away. But the paincave just has a fan for now which isn't too bad. I am waiting for aircon prices to come down a lil more which they will now in winter, and then thinking of building a squat rack in the paincave also. Long term plans but would be nice to add other forms of suffering. Jakkals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaker ride, thanks Was not bad and had fun... But it was tough for me... Day 4 of my training block so the sprints really hurt and I just could not get the watts to work... rest day today... with some stretching and foam roller while watching TDF stage 10...
