who needs any of that shit, when you can have such a fly training set up like this for a fraction of the price.

I picked up a new turbo yesterday, just doing some reading around about it, and apparently you can load into the training software one of your old rides, or make a new one using (say) Google maps, then ride it and the turbo recreates the turns and elevation changes.

It displays the route (Google satellite imagery/street view) as you cycle through it, so you can race yourself on your favourite course if it's pissing down outside.

I think this is very clever.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
