Tacx Flow turbo trainer, which had the I Magic upgrade (which has the USB connection to take the data to the PC), on a spare PC in the garage
Got it off Bikeradar for a reasonable price. ![]() This is the screen on the PC, but I hope a software update will change the picture to full screen. I used to be able to sit and do turbo sessions listening to music, but this is much more fun. ![]()

If that's a set up in the garage and you can rig it full screen you should buy a projector and hang a sheet in front of the garage door (floor to ceiling). Project the display onto that and it'll be like a redneck virtual reality room

I went down to Annecy at the weekend to pick up my partner's daughter with all her gear after a year of au pairing down there. With 6 hours sleep in the past 48 and massively hungover (the wine was superb though!) I crawled out of bed, braved the rain and did this!

He's done bigger ones than that.
![]() There's some interesting bits in the middle of that climb Mike! Agree with you about the weather, but I'd rather be there, than here. Chapau mate Anyway, can I warn anyone thinking of doing climbs like this, then don't! Because once you get the taste for it, then its difficult to stop!
