Pic of my "work in progress" below. I still need to do a bit of clearing in that room to make some more space. Will probably throw a rower in and allow an area for core work etc.
You'll need one of these:
And maybe a mop.
I'm currently looking for a house to move in with my girlfriend, two houses she showed me this week had sheds. All I could think was "That would be perfect for a turbo"0 -

Does it not get awful hot doing turbo sessions in the house? I couldn't imagine that fan being enough to keep you cool. Nice setup though. Beats the hell out of my poxy portable in the shed
I'd better do a quick tidy up before taking a pic this week. Weeks of my OH nagging me to tidy up and I only do it for a photo op! 0 -
I used to have a lovely spot in a converted attic but alas since the young lad is underneath it wasnt practical with the noise so out to the shed I went. Beginning to think of going up there again, its freezing for the first few minutes and its not like I am using it before 7am and after 7pm anyways.
The shelf is the small bit of DIY that I am capable of, while its fine for watching movies with the road bike its too high for the TT bike and the neck is killing me after a few minutes. WIll need to bring it down when the TT bikes comes out of semi retirement in the new year
The threadmill is the wifes, I put up a huge fight up over not getting it (I knew she wouldn't listen and she would get it anyways
). Of course I will use it, great for brick sessions but I wanted to make sure she knew the threadmill was her baby before so I throw it back in her face in a few months if I am caught buying new gear. The bloody thing stopped working after about a week anyways :rolleyes:
Note the bane of my life turf beside it, have often thought of giving it a boot when I am suffering.
* If we get lucky we might see Gibbos "shed", now that's a training room although you could do with a bigger TV0 -

But my magic does happen in the bedroom. Its a small apartment so the turbo is set up in the spare room..
What size frame is that? Looking for a bike for Michelle, but I didn't think we'd get one small enough....
53inch frame, it looks smaller in the photo due to the angle:)I'm currently looking for a house to move in with my girlfriend, two houses she showed me this week had sheds. All I could think was "That would be perfect for a turbo"
I am sure most of us would do the same.Does it not get awful hot doing turbo sessions in the house? I couldn't imagine that fan being enough to keep you cool. Nice setup though. Beats the hell out of my poxy portable in the shed

It can get the warm, i have a 2nd bigger fan which is not in that picture and the back patio doors also open out so not too bad. Nothing like a photo op to get a room cleaned:)The shelf is the small bit of DIY that I am capable of
That shelf looks crooked, did you use a spirit level;). That must be mentally tough stuck looking at a brick wall in front of you and turf to the right of you. Hardy boyo.0 -
Pain Cave: both from a work and training perspective.
OH PC on the left catch up on Sky Go, 4OD, etc.
Fan to keep me cool, never turn the rad on in this room.
Bit of space for core in the middle.
Will move the turbo to the right of the treadie when I'm using it.

Nice to have the options, treadie's great for early morning doubles, don't have to worry about what to wear, just crawl out of bed and if the bowels wake up before the end of the run :eek:
Both are great when I'm 'looking' after the kids 0 -

There's more thinking and planning going on than actual doing. Punchbag is hung in the garage & original plan was to set bike up there, but its more comfy in the house
Where did you get the mats, I play Russian Roulette with the static on my treadie!0 -

Why do you need a bed in the spare room! Ive a spare room but no sign of a bed in it! Its time to man up BTH!!!
To be fair, the spare bed does get sporadic use. Michelles sister stayed on Tuesday night after flying in from Scotland. Being so close to the Airport means its used for family taking early flights out/late flights back.
Edit to add that yes, the bike stays exactly where it is when guests are staying over!amphkingwest wrote: »Is that because Arsenal covers are only ever needed on single beds?
Thats just mean :mad:0 -
