Re: The Cycling Thread
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.

Re: The Cycling Thread
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

Re: The Cycling Thread
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!

 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!
