I have a “dumb” trainer (Tacx blue matic I think) and rollers I’m not using right now if you get desperate. I’m in East Surrey, about an hours drive up from Brighton

Hi, I have an Elite Powermag with the elasto roller and a speed and cadence sensor (ant+). However I am in Stowmarket in Suffolk. It is a long drive but something to consider as a last resort.

I got this far, and thought you had been dumped in the middle of pandemic after moving around the world. [Shudder]

Fortunately I did then read on about the shotgun. Congrats!

Excuse me Cooper, and I don’t mean to be a nit-picky Jobsworth type, but if you’ve just got married shouldn’t you have, erm, _better_ things to do?

Hi Cooper,  
If you can get to Reigate (Surrey) I can lend you my Tacx Flux and 54cm Specialized Allez DSW. I’m also on lockdown but at home in Suffolk where I use a Direto X.

Cheers  
Steve

You’re a newlywed and quarantined… but looking for a trainer. Something doesn’t compute. 😉

Thank you so much for the offer. I think by the end of everything, I’ve got a full set up from a few people all around. 🤘 I hope that your quarantine training is going well! Thanks again!

@Psychopasta and @pithy Haha 😜 you’re not wrong… we did have a grand ol’ “honeymoon” in Bath. Practically had the whole city to ourselves. Now back at the in-laws in quarantine… not your typical post-marriage setup.
