been multitasking since I got my new bike and I don't currently have the space to set up a pain cave. I've been supervising my boys swimming while riding the bike.

Borrowed it from your mom's house...

Excellent time management

She said it isn't borrowing when you've had it this long....

About to move, so a temporary setup in the living room for Zwift.



New place is a townhouse, so I imagine I'll be stuck in the garage from here on out.

Starting the process to make a new man cave. First I have to throw all the furniture and carpet away since my cat thought all this stuff was her cat box.
I am now starting the process of painting the room back from back to white since I did and still do, use as a home theater.

Not as elaborate as other pain caves, but looking forward to a more spacious setup when we buy our next house.
Complete with Tour de France podium lion, 1x Tacx Bushido, 1x Tacx Vortex. In front of the S5 there is a diy tablet stand for Zwifting, Perfpro, Youtube, etc. It was made with galvanized pipe from the big box hardware stores. The gatorade cooler stores misc bike parts.

Not a fully dedicated space.. as it's my "office", guest sleeping area and workout space. At least I get my rides in which is all that matters I guess.

But it is definitively not a cave! ;)

I've had terrible luck with USB extenders. Does the cat5 to use/rj45 really work that much better?

What is your trainer dave?

Seems to. I used to get dropouts all the time with the USB extenders. Going Cat5 to rj45 made the problem go away.

  It's kind of small (that's what she said!) but I do enjoy my home gym:

that's a lot of weight for a triathlete

I guess you're talking to me (?) *Cue Robert Deniro voice* I mainly do sprint tris and yes, I lift (relatively) heavy. I've always liked weight training and try to stay around 190 at 5'11"-ish because I still want to look like I weight train.

My pain cave, because the pain lets me know I'm still alive! I have a bodybuilding and powerlifting background but will start hitting some tri's and gravel races next season. I will never stop lifting though.

 

haha yes. I have the powerblock dumbbells but don't need nearly that much weight. I don't do nearly enough weight training but it's in my offseason plan.

So you basically have https://www.amazon.com/...s=usb+to+rj45+dongle plugged into your computer. Then Cat5 running to where you want ANT dongle, another adapter, and then do you just use a female to female USB like this, https://www.amazon.com/...female+to+female+usb that goes from RJ45 adapter to ANT+ USB Dongle?

Close. Here are the exact parts I ordered:

Add one Cat5 cable and you're good to go.

Thanks! I like that idea better, one less adapter! And its still working great for your USB ANT dongle for TrainerRoad or Zwift?
I am about to start building a pain cave, and I want to run cat5 though some floor conduit to where my trainer will be to where the computer will be.

That's exactly what I've done, and yes - it is still working great.

Good luck!
