- I have an Elite Direto and Zwift running on a Macbook Air.
- USB Ant+ dongle.
- HR coming from Garmin Fenix, but Garmin 935 works just as well.
- I have 3 fans plugged into a power strip with an on/off switch. I turn them on with just a flick of that switch as I'm getting ready to get on the bike.
- One of the fans has a remote, so I can turn it on or up after the other two aren't working well enough anymore.
- I also have a ceiling fan and light directly overhead. I can turn them on/off just by reaching up.
- I have a large screen TV a few feet in front of me, so I can port the video from my laptop to it no problemo.
- I have a hospital bed table directly in front of me that I put the laptop on.
- A wireless mouse that lives on that table/desk, keeping me from getting sweat into my laptop.
- I have a the laptop power cable and the TV video cable clipped directly to the table, so I don't have to fish around for them.
- A treadmill off to the left which I hang lots of headbands from the arms.
- Trained my wife to quit putting the headbands in a dresser and in a big tupperware bin next to the bike instead.
- A small coffee table off to the right where I put water and fuel bottles.
- One of my fans is pretty small, and I put it on the floor in the doorway to the hall and point it upwards into the training room. It takes cooler air from low down outside the room and pumps it upwards to the top of the training cave. Then the ceiling fan pushes that cooler air down on top of me from above.
- Have I mentioned it's stupid hot where I live? (Texas)
I credit this setup with boosting my FTP from 270 to 320+ over a few months because of a great biking environment. I can grab some bike shorts, fuel and water, and be biking with all the fans and whatnot in just minutes. I got irritated with constantly re-setting up the bike stuff, so I figured out how to set it and forget it, so it's already and always there instead.
