That should shake things up a bit in the trainer market - if they can get them out the door fast enough

You're going to be flying after all these workouts you're doing, @CXRAndy !

I seem to have lost my motivation and discipline to do 1-hour sessions in the mornings. I've been tending to get up at 5:25 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, which is when Jo gets up to either run on the treadmill or venture out into the real world. Most of my workouts are 30-40 minutes.

We recently got one of these bad boys from the Big River Shop. Rather than getting one with a remote control for £100, these knob-controlled ones are currently going for £50. For £100, you could hook two of them up on different smart switches if you wanted voice-activated controllability!

My Sealey fan is giving up the ghost after 4 years of service. I had a quick look to see about getting another Cleva fan as above - it's gone up to 60 sovs, which makes the controllable version (I know @mjd1988 is a fan) at £75 look more appealing...

I use a high-tech stick to change fan speed

I'm a huge fan of my huge wind simulation machine

Tinies four sprint races around Scotland Braek . ZP indicated a nice long descent followed by a tiny uphill sprint- perfect

Turns out, you turn left and within a few hundred metres start climbing. That was shock. First event I turned myself inside out trying to stay with the leaders up the climb, had absolutely nothing left even to chase on the descent. I had to call for emergency assistance in the guise of cup of sugary water- I was feeling so unwell, felt like vomiting. This revived me. The same course start was each race, just getting longer every event entering into Glasgow crit. I was more measured doing the climb, sacrificed position so I could finish stronger. I managed to hit just short of 1100W for race two. Finished strong race 4.

Upshot I lost more race points

Looking at yesterday's race results, has listed quite a few B's from the old category are in my race score group. Coupled with the climb, really put me down in the bottom third of the events. I think my results will be much better on flatter, rolling course. These B and lightweight C have the hilly advantage,
