Rented accommodation, so nothing very fancy: ![20181229_223910](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/2X/e/e7d406f07bad2356f3f96ecc4677cfbc2eada3ac.jpeg) ---

Looks good to me. Warmer than my garage ---

New monitor, new fan, (Vornado. So so good!) and a new bike. Rollers, turbo, two fans with remote switch, two displays, a ton of sweat rags, and a desk drawer full of snacks. I’m ready to go hard this winter. Outside is pretty brutal in my locale right now. I moved to a place with a far rougher winter than I’ve had in the past. I needed to go all out on my trainer room to handle the next four months of winter. ---

Corner of the basement with my running buddy wondering what I’m doing. Vintage Wildflower towel on the bars (circa 1999, from my first tri career 1997-2004, returned to tri last year). Windows are behind; other bikes are behind and out of the frame on the right, as is the work stand. The distraction on hard workouts is clearly visible: I’m using the shelves of my daughter’s former desk to store wine, so I have that to look at when I’m not looking up. My constant companion, who eagerly joins me when I descend to the basement, lays in his dog bed that’s behind where I’m standing. Only drawback: no internet connection except for a weak signal on the phone. Our apartment is 3 floors up, and the basement is mostly underground with thick insulated walls to the outside (I live in Switzerland). What I watch, I have to download to the laptop as the superthin Macbook can’t run TR. I run TR off my phone. ![IMG_1516%20(1)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/2X/e/ea73eafc665fd16c52269864af972b2f245dc605.jpeg) ---

When I first described the concept of trainer to my wife she thought I was nuts. When she saw it in action she wanted to do it too. Next the kids got into it and we ended up with traffic jam in the basement. Took three years but we now have a station for each of us. The best part is riding together. That we can each ride at our own pace while still being together is just amazing. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/2X/4/459a37ea0dc8151a75d8b131a48c20d8f1473f32.jpeg) ---

Your own room or your own apartment!? That’s huge and immaculate! I have ‘caved in’ and introduced the luxury of a cheap TV and an original Apple TV to my Ice Cave. I will grudgingly admit that it has encouraged me to brave the cold, and can see why people like their luxury setups. But it’s still not right! Photo to follow. ---

[Kitbrix](https://kitbrix.com/) They are vinyl on the inside, so you can easily wipe them down. I use 2 (they zip together) at races / events: one for clean clothes to change into when I’m done + extra ride clothing (heavier / lighter vests, etc.), and the other holds my shoes / helmet / sunglasses (in case). My wife does the samething with hers for running events. ---

They work really well, plus being able to zip multiple together leads to 1 + 1 = 3 type usefulness math 🤣 ---
