    I tried turbo + COD4 once. Couldn't keep a steady cadence at all. Every time I tried to run on the game, my legs moved faster on the pedals. Weird.

    I haven't been able to play it since my bro bought it as I've got a fractured scaphoid so can't move my thumb as I'm in a cast lol.

    Was just deduction....looked like a gun sight on the TV and there is a green ring of light below the TV so presumably an XBOX....Plus my wife was sitting playing MW2 while I was on my lappy...

    Which turbo is that.....I can make out Cycleops....is it the fluid or magneto?

    I'm looking to get either the fluid 2 of the Kurt kinetic road machine but not sure which?

    If not on the turbo the rollers fit the same space.

    Girlfriend provides snacks, water and general cheering - during both turbo sessions and Call of Duty 4 :lol:
  • You mean the missus will share the same room as you when riding the turbo!?

    I'm left in lonely isolation :roll:
  • Is it possible for you guys to share the location of the cave in which you found your cycle loving, call of duty playing females hiding in?

    Aye, that's the downside of wearing bibshorts when training... I kept kneeing her in the face! :oops:

    Mudguards on your turbo bike? Exactly how much do you sweat?

    damoando, that's scary!. Swap bikes and it looks almost exactly like my turbo-shed :shock: Except, that it looks like your shed/garage has lights so I award myself one more grim point by having no lights in the shed and having to rely on camping lamps/headtorches and the dim glow of a laptop when I remember to charge it enough to watch videos at the same time... :?

    AND I have to walk the full length of the garden to get to this shed... No wonder I usually just go out at work lunchtimes in the rain instead...

    Note the following useful aids to indoor training:
    - motivational stuff 1 - rear view of my mate on his bike (spent many a happy hour grovelling with this view on the road)
    - motivational stuff 2 - old sportif numbers and picture of me "enjoying" the Col du Galibier to remind me that an hour in the garage is nothing in comparison to 9 hours in the saddle
    - motivational stuff 3 - "Overcoming" on Doovde
    - spirit level - to keep me level headed when I start fantasising about winning a race next season
    - hand saw - for use in emergency only when motivation is lacking

  • I went down to my dungeon to take a photo of the trainer, and realised I'd completely forgotten about this guy:

    rower.jpg

    He was still rowing obediently, so I'll give him a gimp mask as a reward.
