Class pain Cave. Love all the medals and race numbers and the Motivational text on the walls.
So I only have an old wooden shed to use for my indoor training. I live in a small country town in Australia and it gets quite hot!!! The shed is 70 years old and falling apart but I found some old paint lying around so I gave the walls a lick. Trying to convince the wife to let me bring this stuff inside… Maybe a silent trainer??? Any tips would be appreciated!!!

Love the stand. We use those at work for lighting rigs.

@Smithy Love the chalk board idea. +1 eat plants
Kickr Core is super quiet. I used to have to work out in my garage and it crushed motivation. That’s a pricey upgrade, though.
One thing that helped me in the garage was having some place to toss clothing without interrupting my workout (e.g. having to be careful where I put it) or tossing it on the dirty ground. That way, I could leave my apartment and know that I’d be able to layer up/down as much as necessary based on whatever temperature it was going to be outside at the time.

I think the results here are skewed. The people with really nice pain caves love to share them. The people with dungeons, generally don’t.
I say us dungeon masters start sharing our pathetic, dark, cluttered messes and without shame!

old fixie on a Kurt Kinetic, with a Power Tap hub. Used bike, used trainer, new hub was less than the cost of a nice smart trainer. No parts to sweat nuke.
a 48 x 17 gives me everything I need during the winter. I don’t do sprints, but this gearing allows me to do anything from zone 1 to low zone 6.

Begs the question… Why the Brake Hoods then?
I hold onto the top or drops when doing TR workouts!
If he’s training to ride a normal road bike outside, the hoods are a very common hand position. Make sense to have it inside, for specificity… not to mention more options to mix up the loading on the body.

Exactly, Chad. The dummy hoods are there to have that hand position, so everything lines up like my road bike.

Thanks so much for the tip @freeridr05. Ill have to look into a little bucket for the clothes. And yes, Kickr Core is expensive hey!
