KieranR 1,959 Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I won’t call it a pain cave because I rarely make myself hurt when training (currently not training). But seen as though most of Aussie is home let’s see your set ups! I wanna see Zed’s as all I’ve been getting lately is zwift notification that he’s zwifting (all the bloody time 😂) here’s my new cave- clearly not set up yet 1 Link to post Share on other sites

FatPom 5,428 Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) For the first time ever, I currently have to have my road and TT bike in the garage. We are preparing to decorate the lounge, so the garage is a bit cosy. Did install a fancy insulated roller door and had Ecotiles fitted to the floor.

Most of the houses we've had here can't fit it in the kitchen, (we have the dumb small fridge and freezer under the counter arrangement) it's our old Fisher & Paykel one from Oz. We were going to sell it but now it's back up stock for the zombie apocalypse😀 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, given I live in one of the hottest places in the state (maybe the country) it gets real warm in summer. The white box next to the bike is a small evaporative A/C which helps a lot, I move it around to fit what I am dong. There is a big fan straight in front of the treadmill too. Would love to have the bike inside but our spare room is set up for guests, so no chance currently! Link to post Share on other sites
Crowies crushed nuts 101 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Can somebody tell me what I need to get zwift and zwift run up and going.

Gundy 180 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 In a corner of the shed. The best feature of my setup is the remote control fan. The second best feature is the concrete floor so doesn't matter about sweat and the odd footy snot. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Easy 1,716 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Loving these pain caves, but personally I like FB's idea of just getting outside and going for a run every now and then, although maybe it's worth getting something ready in case we have to go into full lockdown! Something I am interested in is some of those dry land swim bands (elastic swim cords or whatever you call them). I haven't done much swimming at all over the past 9 months and just started getting keen again when they shut all the pools. Any idea where I can buy some and roughly how much they are? Or even just what they're called and I'll look em up myself! Link to post Share on other sites

Flanman 2,479 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 There is also a lot of info out there for swimming replacement (although nothing beats swimming). Here's an example:- https://www.triswimcoach.com/alternative-workouts-swimming/ FM 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks mate, the 'NZ Stretchcords With Paddles' look good but it sounds like they might be at least 21 days away. I think I might try making myself a set and see how they go.
