Some of my passport stamps. From Sufferlandria.

Since mid-October, basically the end of the outdoor riding season for me, I have been logging about 5 or 6 Sufferfest sessions a week. They are tough workouts. Really, really tough.

I tackle the rides early in the morning. In the dark. In my Pain Cave.

The Pain Cave is definitely a place of suffering, however it can look quite appealing to the untrained eye. Here, then, is a quick tour of my Pain Cave. Missing from the video is the vomit bucket — something unique to cycling that we do not need to talk about here.
