Had Bashful +2 yesterday and the only time I had to get the ride in was in the late afternoon which is peak temp time here in Nor Cal at the moment. I’ve got a temp gauge in the garage and it was 84 when I started. I had one Lasko fan plus another regular fan running and despite that I totally over…

Impressive. With 78F/70% humidity in the room and two fans, my HR during 15 min threshold went higher than during 3x7 VO2 max in 68F. Recently with 73F inside and nice 60F/95% humidity from the window +3 fans my HR was almost normal… so I am definitely not heat acclimated…and I hate heat inside and…

Good point, those bibs are a good option. I considered just grabbing an old jersey and loading the rear pockets with ice packs. It’s an easy start and could be expanded with a minimal amount of sewing (or even safety pins) to add more pockets. I need to get to a prototype and just try it out soo…

I’m a polar bear - hate the heat - but in 2016 a Kona age-grouper (#teamTina) convinced me to HTFU and deal. So around this time of year I’m doing slow hot afternoon spins into a headwind (making it even slower): [image] (check out those awesome IF values :rofl: ) and 3 weeks later you come out …

Thanks for the tip. I will introduce more Z2 outside in the heat and inside with slow blade fan - maybe it will help because I need some threshold workouts to keep me sane and not seeing my FTP plummeting (yes, I am one of those persons that self-evaluate with numbers.) :wink: And about IFs - looki…

yeah I don’t worry about the IFs, just laughing about how going slow can make you fast :wink:

Where did you get a Lasko fan in the uk?

[image] mellowdave: If heat is an issue, nothing will work better than a PROPERLY SIZED mini split for the garage. I have a 9000BTU unit in mine, with an insulated garage door, and a little air sealing around the door as I have my office out there as well. I have no exterior insulation in the wa…

This is THE reason i am now waking at 0430 to feed the dogs then get on the bike. My trainer is under an outside awning but afternoons are just too much for me with the heat (also Norcal). Even with morning temps in the high 50s, low 60s I still have two fans running.

I did last summer in a Texas garage. I had two Laskos facing me and this Vornado aimed at my back. Made it bearable.
