    Get out in the Peak Ian; some of the finest mountain biking in the world. Come on, all is not lost; there's still hope!!!


    Have no fear DT and Lola. With time available I will always choose the Dark Side first. However should time be short for a hard session the Turbo should kick in and calm my eager muscles...

    Mind you I once had a set of rollers and passed out whilst training when I over heated so I think the turbo will be used outside any way.

    Thanks to Dark Horse for the loan.....I think....

    You will still need a fan. Even in a cold garage at night in 5 degrees, you still need a fan. Or 2. Big fast ones.

    yes but only for 10 minutes. will give it a serious go next week after PPP,KD? and the Monday night race.

    I've also had a pm from a forumite that has a turbo that seems to be linked to a video? so you can cycle a route!!? I might go have a look at this as it seem interesting ....in a purely toys for the boys slant.

    But thanks to every ones comments they've put a smile on my face. I'm sure the turbo will take it off though
