Awesome! Do you bring it in if it's raining etc? You're my canary in the coal mine. :lol:

Let me know if there any problems arise! :mrgreen:

Will have a photo of 'Pain Cave' setup eventually :oops:
It's all about the adventure :o .

Alright FELLAS! Almost there. Still need some tweaking and art needed. I have a Gen 3 KickR and 2 KickR mats coming for me and my wife will be using my Gen 2. Enjoy.

Your mental game is on point though. :)

That is very nice. I prefer the screen to be lower, actually way lower, but other than that, ace.

That was just the initial mock up. My screen is half way down and hers is lower than that now. KickR 3 and the 2 Mats came in. It’s an awesome studio.

Built in the garden late last year as my wife had had enough of bike stuff in the house! Needs painting (and the garden needs sorting out in the spring!) but works brilliantly. Nice not to have the turbo making a noise in the early hours of the morning.

Got a Varidesk which work were clearing out which works well for stacking stuff on.

Other than that, using an Apple TV with music through a Vamp stereo and an old set of speakers.

Fans.... I need to buy a few fans. Looking for quiet. One is going to be a more focused and another more of a whole body convection fan. What fan designs are best?

Very quiet (and effective) are the Rowenta turbo silence fans!
