What are people using for tables to put keyboard and stuff on? I would like one that sits in front of my handlebars for keyboard and dinner. I jest, just my dinner. I just am not sure what to search for?

Jesus, it's 276 euros! The GBP is crap, not sure why it's so much in EUR.
I've swapped out PC's in my basement. Figured the one I had was wasted there, so using it in my office now. I need to install windows on it later, but I've got a nice 1300X, 4GB value ram, 120GB SSD and RX560 which should be ample for zwift and netflix while I ride 
hope to get back on soon.
hope to get back on soon.
I dunno, reckon I'd be happy with that at the moment 
Show off...I have the Tron and I’m level 25
Sorted out my PC today. It's wicked. Runs silently and fps on 1080 is amazing. Dead pleased with that machine. Now to get back on it. Busy weekend with wife's bday and next week I'm off to the mountains, but I'm planning my unemployment return to riding
Don't even want to look at the scales lolFFS, I weighed myself on sunday. 78.3kg. I've been 75kg all winter, the recent lack of mileage has obviously taken it's toll...
Keeping my Zwift weight at 75kg until I've have a couple of weigh in's and caught up on some riding.
Legs didn't want to turn this morning, so very low wattage hour round the flat. Did an hour yesterday morning and last night a Chris Hoy leg workout in the gym and **** me I am in pain. Need to drop the saddle a few mm as well, as I think it's a bit of an overreach at the moment. Anyway, will slowly build up my fitness again and lose some weight and then hopefully get a bit more competitive.
See if you can get a Vortex second hand. I'd sell you mine, but postage would be a bitch due to weight.
Pretty sure my FTP is back down to like 190w at the moment. Really shocking, but just need to shift some weight and keep peddling. Has anyone done the FTP builder workouts?
Yea, reckon I'll just ride. Well annoying seeing it so ****, but I'll keep putting in my trainer hours and hope to get it back to the 270 it was
Yea, I can hit max power still. I can peak at like 1500w, hold about 600 for 30s but it's endurance of holding 280w for an hour I used to be able to do, now it's crap. I'm carrying too much weight and need to get my fitness back in general. I did Jon's Mix this morning again and yesterday had it on 189w FTP but was too easy really. Did a 200 ftp today and it was harder but OK. I'll slowly push this up and see how I cope. I'd get blown out the water in any races at the moment! Need some more fitness first. Getting an hour a day in on the bike so hoping that should help bring it back.
Although the sun is now out here, I really like the structure I can do in Zwift and with school runs/ kids etc. it makes it easier to chuck in
Did John's mix Monday again and the McCarthy Special yesterday. Both were easy enough, but pushed me a bit too. McCarthy had a warm up and the 3 min at FTP/ 200w, then right after 3min at 225w and then 3 min at 250w, then a 5 min at 130w. It's a nice mix up to John's mix and hopefully should push me to raise my power more. Might try some of the other ones on there too.
The R3 would have been my option on those 2 @Pringle W as it has the 105, which is better. Good option!
Yea @Roady I think i need to look at the 1hr plus stuff and see. I set myself an hour a day to do, but might need to up it a little to 1.5.

Massive respect to you ******** up alp zwift or whatever the hell it's called. Jesus ****. I was possibly the slowest in the world but I made it. My legs still hurt. So much lactic. ARGHHH. I doff my caps to all of your fast people. *doffs cap*
Haha I currently weigh more! I was dragging my ass up there in painI was the slowest of all the OcUkers up the Alpe as I’m a 92kg fat lump so wouldn’t worry about it
Today I feel like I've worn my ass out.
Anyone going to be doing any of the tour of california rides in May? I might bosh out a couple.
Thought my Flux was under reading as a lot of people have reported this (and I have some odd rubber flecks that seem to have come from it) so today put the Ultimate and Vectors on the trainer to compare... turns out it wasn't the Flux reading low, it's just my lack of any meaningful power hahaha
Anyway, had some time this morning so made up for not going on much last week and did 60km, which was nice, but Richmond is a yawn fest.

I'll take it apart soon and check that out to see. I read like all the posts in that group, so thanks for the add on that! V useful. Trying to get some more saddle time in at the moment, so riding as much as I can. Weight will eventually come off and hopefully with it power up, but weight is so slow to drop as you get older lol
Yea, it's just a bit meh. Nothing about it at all. I'm going to venture outside tomorrow... have to go to a meeting in town so riding the Aeroad it. Tried that last week and burst my tyre, so hopefully tomorrow be all good. Outside is scary.
