Regarding the indoor trainer for those who are interested.

I have a tacx flux 2. A few years back when I first got it I signed up to zwift but then cancelled and changed to fulgaz. Mainly because my wife also had a trainer and you could have 2 members on one account.

I've since gone back to one trainer so cancelled fulgaz and signed up to trainerroad. I'm a bit of a nerdy numbers guy so while there is no virtual world or video to watch, I find the time on trainerroad really good. It's just no nonsense training. Really good with training plans and techniques etc.

Alas, it's also very expensive ($30+/month)...

I came across a relatively new player called mywhoosh. This is essentially the same as zwift and it's free!

Its funded by UAE and has just partnered with UCI for 3 years. It works quite well and I've done 3 rides so far on it.

The only downside is the minimum requirement for your device are quite high. My laptop was too old so wouldn't run it but I can run it off my phone. Just not as good looking at a 5in screen.
