Let’s see your pain cave

IMG_6962b

Kind of crowded in here. Glad the car was moved so I could take this photo. I usually have a fan propped up in front of me on the recycling bin (out of frame). I have to plug and unplug everything when I ride. I prop up my phone on the white drawers and gloves to view my workout. That does make it hard to see, sometimes. I often mistake 4’s for 6’s and have been frightened by the sudden appearance of a 600w+ interval only to find it was actually 400w. Still high, but not as scary. 600+ was impossible when I was doing virtual watts and my NM was 502. That scare happened more than once! :laughing:

Ha. I assume you are obliged to complete every session or a minion locks the door in front of you until you have? :smiley:

Looking at all these great setups I figure this is a good place to ask. Does anyone have plans for a DIY freestanding trainer desk? I’m currently using a slapdash hodgepodge of tables and chairs at the moment and would like to step up my game to something more permanent. Yes, I know there are options to purchase these things, but where’s the fun in that? Also, I’m a cheap bastard. Thanks in advance.

Ironing board? I’d add a winky emoji thing to that but I hadn’t even considered it until somebody made that suggestion to me back in the days before trainer desks were even a thing.

IRONING BOARD that’s genius! I thought my Cat Scratch post was inspired :laughing:

I’ve seen a few posted on the Facebook group where people made their own. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TourofSufferlandria/permalink/2113908695300332/

There was a really nice wood one I saw recently,but I can’t remember if it was in the Sufferlandria group or not, and can’t find it now.

Here’s my setup, been running it like this for a year or two now with Zwift but making the shift over to a more training based system. I’ve just had to rebuild the PC that runs the show as it blew up a few days after installing The Sufferfest - it clearly wasn’t hardcore enough :laughing:

I cleared all the tools out the garage. Hung the bikes, set up the trainer with a bit more space. Old TV is getting wall mounted shortly :grin:

A small storage room in our home serves as a narrow albeit lit room for suffering…looking forward to my first ToS 2021

Have managed to wiggle everything around to get some room in the garage (aka an old shipping container). Does the job for now, and who doesn’t enjoy fairy lights for some crude lighting :laughing:

The basement at my girlfriend’s parents’. Temporary displacement because of the pandemic.
