Yeah VR linked turbo training might actually be fun rather than a chore, especially if you can compete in a tour de france stage against the actual riders, with a sliding level of "boost" to make it possible to actually compete. Sort of like virtual mechanical doping. No reason why they could not incorporate an easing of power required when drafting an increase in the front too, as well as factoring in climbs.

I am planning a new PC and a VR HMD next year when they come out.

I'm thinking virtual group spin when Storm Keith or Desmond hits again.

Of course. We all have. We don't all expect someone else to fix it for us and link their failure to do so with their stupidity rather than our own.

That's it - Kids in bed, Wattbike session completed, presents wrapped. Just about time to head off to bed myself. Just time to say

Not using PMs on them - will be putting a couple of vintage Power Generators on - one is 11 years old and the other 12.....

In other news.

Any opinions on those Wiggle Cosine saddles?

LollipopJimmy · 27-12-2015 11:45PM

Getting the bike ready for my first attack on sally gap tomorrow and notice the rear wheel barings grinding like hell. No cassette removal tool so that's that out the window. I'll pick one up tomorrow and do a job on the hub, Sally will have to wait until Wednesday morning cos I'm in work Tuesday

Waterford cyclist Robert Power profiled in TheJournal http://www.the42.ie/robert-power-olympic-cycling-interview-2507351-Dec2015/

LollipopJimmy · 28-12-2015 08:24PM

I'm tackling my first attempt at sally gap this week, most likely on Thursday. Anybody here like to join me? Pace will obviously be relaxed but I'm going up to the gap and back through Blessington. Going to hit McDonald's Kylemore Road for a coffee before I start. Will leave from there then head up to Tallaght. Thinking of setting off at around 8.30

And a real Dutch cycling test for schoolchildren. Look how much safer the roads are for cycling!

Took the Luas this morning on account of Frank looming and I'm also still unhappy with my rear wheel, I think I may have slightly overtightened the hub after taking it apart so I'll have to do it all again
Anybody else chained to a desk today?

Working from home doing support calls. 2 hours no calls, would've been a nice morning for a spin.

Phones here haven't stopped all morning. I also have over 250emails sitting in my inbox, serves me right for taking annual leave before Christmas. Bright side is I'm only in today and off again until Monday

I'll be leaving the office at about 8.30pm so Frank will be in full swing. yr.no giving 'strong gale' here with a wind speed of 22m/s at that time. Should be an interesting commute home. :pac:
