In fact, I'll keep an eye out on ebay for a cheap mac mini. 1.5ghz GPU and 4/8GB ram should be fine.

What sort of spec?
Done! I'll trust you mate!
Haha I need to get back up on it. I was getting bursts of 980W when I was actually riding (but then I'm a tubby **** so you know) I look forward to getting back on it now!I thought the same with Jon's short mix yesterday 10mins after waking up. Hello request to do 10 seconds @ 790w multiple times
I use a 42" TV for my monitor, you can get 1080 ones cheap as anything now. I think mine was B grade (box damage, nothing else) and was under 300 and that was like 2yrs ago now?
Will defo have a couple of those PCs of plat! Will get me another screen now too and have both hooked up.

Thanks mate, knew it was there somewhere. The i5 from platypus should be fine, worst case I can stick in a cheap GPU for an upgrade and still be better off than a secondhand mac mini cost wise.
Anyone joined this Zwift academy? I signed up as I like signing up for things. Says I have to complete things now. I might do Jon's mix tonight, just the short one as I've not yet done any of the things I need to, and it'll be a start.
Any new workouts/ training schedules out there that are recommended? There are a load more than before, wondering if anyone recommends any?

Snap seems decent spec wise, but not used it personally. I've got the flux, which I have found OK, so far. I was testing it against my garmin the other day and it's not bad on results power wise, too. Nice and sturdy direct drive and without the pricetag of the Kickr or the Neo.
Likewise, I have 2 Vortex's and think they were great value. They seem to have shot up, probably because it's end of summer, but I didn't pay anything like they have them up at (400EUR over here!)
I have 2 at home actually
One going spare, but my issue is shipping over there (they are super heavy and postage from france is stupidly expensive for some reason!) or I'd offer it up!

^ it is if it's aimless. Add in some structure and progressive goals and it gives you something to focus on other than just accumulating junk miles
I also think it's personality based. @BennyC is clearly very goal focused and structured. I am clearly not as good at that
You should be fine tbh - it might not do 1080 but you'll be OK. I've run it on my iPhone the last 2 times, as my computer kept crashing.

CVR World Cup in Paris on at the moment - just watching the heats
A good mate from work is in Team X and headed up there. He was only going to watch, but think they might need him to ride, he's not happy lol would be tough!

Quoting for image.
God knows, it's not saying. I'll try my Ryzen 1700X/RX580 tonight and see if that nets me a 10.
I'm starting to try and sort my **** out and get back on it. I've been plagued with my back and sprained ankle, which are both still giving me pain. That and travel is a pain to get in any routine. Excuses aside, I set my second machine up downstairs again since I rebuilt it a couple of weeks ago and after some buggering about this morning (got to love wasting 40mins ******* about with tech) I just did 40 mins flat watopia.
It's like I've never ridden lol I kept it fairly gentle really, 175w average over it I think it was, so not tough but ankle actually felt fine, as did my back. Both of which hurt like buggery when I walk, so hoping I can plough away with some more rides on the trainer.
Outdoors would be nice, but I always carry a backpack to work, which again knackers my already crap back. Think I'll join one of these workout programs, set my ftp to -29823 which it seems to be and get into a routine again. I hate sucking so much lol
Oh, and did the analyser of this PC and still got 9/10 but then looking realised that as I'm running it through the 1080 TV, none of the 1080 Ultras are getting above 9, only 4k ones. Time to get a 4k TV for the basement

Did a couple of circuits of London flat this morning before work. This is hard work this riding lark after a heavy weekend.
Not as boring as richmond! That one is just snooze fest to me. At least with London you can mix it up a bit more if you choose.
Any news on the watopia expansion this month?

Ah yes, in the config file? I agree, there are so many different varieties to watopia, it's by far the best course.
