AMESOME!!! I got a tv with DVD player combination for Christmas as my dedicated trainer entertainment for the basement… set up a high shelf for coffee, water bottles, remotes and towel so they are easy to reach. It’s my fortress of solitude.
So far in january alone I’ve gone through all 3 Matrix movies, all 3 lord of the rings movies, Heat (with pacino & deniro), and gladiator, plus a few football games on the weekends.
I picked up a Sony Infrared wireless headset, so I can slap on the phones & get nearly home theatre quality without having to buy a full system. I’ve got a young daughter, so when I ride in the morning I can’t really blast the volume anyway. Highly recommend.
Ooohhhh…those headphones sound like a good toy. I always worry about annoying the crap out of my neighbours when I get the TV going with a good Tour video and the stereo with my favourite tunes.
Can you describe the headphones a little more, Tom? They stay on ok? No slipping problems with all the sweat? How about a link to a web page?
Its wierd, when I ride indoors to other sports, I find I get bored. Or maybe that’s because I keep watching the Toronto Craptors get their behinds spanked!
Fleck - I was thinking the same thing about Millar! It was only a few months later that he won the worlds, right? Although, I do have to agree with him on the Alpe. I rode it the day before those guys in 2003, 5 days after Ironman Austria and man, it hurt. Although, I am quite proud of having climbed it in just over an hour.
I’m going back this summer after Ironman Germany and trying to decide whether to ride the Alpe again or try the Telegraphe/Galibier combo or maybe the Izoard. Not sure yet!
