You guys are lucky, I'm outside in my shed in 35 degree weather!! Lawn Mower to the left, Patio furniture on the right, Old Paint supplies! Very nice. However I do have a small DVD player and the HBO series "Band of Brothers" Box set.

I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who wasn't inside the house. I had to run an extension cord to hook up my laptop and a clamp-on work lamp to see by. Man, some of you guys (and girls) have some pretty sweet setups.

All that high tech equipment in the dungeon. Amazing!

I often put my bike on the back porch - once it was about 30 out - I was on the trainer. Shorts, no shirt music blasting...skin was steaming in the air. Neighbors thought I was nuts. Moved the trainer to the garage...but I was far to far from the sound system. Now I just open the back door and let the cold in...trying to make up the carbon being saved by Mattinsf and GregX...I just tack it on to my gas bill :-)

I took over one of our bedrooms to make it a dedicated workout room. I got everything I need, except for a new carbon bike. Santa disappointed me this year ;-)
I guess this is not necessarily dungeon-like, but it'll suffice.

Nice! See, that one makes me want to just paint mine beige. Which is easy!

Ah, of course, the "if-my-wang-could-see" view.

sorry, couldn't help it. Nice clean room though.
Smelly.

Things I wonder - and I wish I could reply to others:

1) I don't know how anyone can ride a trainer with even mild intensity without a huge fan facing them. I usually use two.

2) I can't see how watching a TV show helps you keep your intensity up. Music videos? Maybe. But Deadliest Catch???

Hot weather doesn't bother me one bit, so riding inside without a fan doesn't really phase me.

At home I ride 100% with either music of TdF videos. I hate riding to TV. I find it incredibly difficult. But when I ride with my dad he likes to watch tv. So it's a concession I'm willing to make

:-)

Oh, and I can usually handle watching sports as long as the games are exciting.

I have the same bowflex. Have you found that over time, a few years, the power rods loose some of their flex. As much as I would like to think I have gotten that much stronger, I suspect the rods have lost some of their resistance - which makes me wonder about replacing them.

I agree with you on this one. I need a lot more air movement in my setup. My room has a ceiling fan that helps when I put it on full blast, but I still sweat like a pig. I am on the search for a decent pedestal fan that will move a lot of air.

To be honest, I've probably only used it 20 times over the last several years. I really don't like the feel of it. I probably should try to sell it off on eBay. It's been one of my biggest wastes of money.

- Not every ride is supposed to be high intensity

Thanks for the inciteful commentary.

Great bod but it looks like about time to cut, no?

You're welcome!

Why don't you show us the trainer dungeon you've set up in your moms basement?

My indoor ride is in your mom's basement.

LOL....there you go being clever again. How many times did you miss high school prom to come up with that one?

south Florida has many faults, but staying outside for running and riding year round makes up for them easily, those dungeons look scary

Is that a Sex in the City box set I see?
