    Seems like a shame to be stuck in doors on rare days like we’re having this week. Or do ye carry on regardless of weather given the turbo is a decent workout anyway?

    Similar to a puppy, a turbo isn't for christmas, its for life

    Will still be mostly turbo for me particularly midweek - its a lot easier telling the missus you are heading up the attic for an hour rather than heading off down the road

    Turbo is really the only option for the tough sessions which need to be controlled.

    I am sure Fazz is using his:)

    Or when you want to cycle in your bathroom with a storage heater in the corner and the bath full of hot steamy water.

    Feck yis. My apt is like an oven with the mere hint of sunshine.

    Is there any way to replicate a half decent decent turbo session? 30 secs on, 30 secs off etc? Phoenix Park you can usually cycle uninterrupted for an hour.
    Plus, you can’t get great tan lines indoors.

    Kids to mind, limited time, easy access, targeted work. < turbo is still the way to go for me, unfortunately.

    Yep, agree with JB, turbo for certain sessions for sure. My house mates think I am crazy (nothing new :))

    Turbo for me last night as i was late home and it was dark by the time i could get to it :( Id be outside at every opportunity in that kind of weather but the turbo is best for some sessions and will probably be used here and there through the summer.Hard to do specific power on the road sometimes

    Yep, the only difference is I bring the turbo outside so I can work on the tan lines. however I leave the fan inside not that mad.

    Word.

    Can't beat the turbo for dedicated planned sessions without relying on smooth roads, no traffic, weather etc.
    Just like you can't beat a nice sunny day for enjoyment and long bike sessions.
