Happy Friday (or Saturday to eveyone an hour in the future)!

First things first - a HUGE thank you to the boatload of you that have tried out and given feedback on the new smart trainer stock/inventory alerting tool over the last week. We've been hard at work incorporating all of that in, and trying to squish as many bugs as possible - especially ones for European folks (where it was more complex due to the number of countries).

I think we're in a pretty good spot now, and a number of you have started to snag hard to find trainers using it - so that's awesome! As soon as I hit send on this Quarantine Corner e-mail I'll be offering it up to followers on Instgram (via Insta-stories, where alost all my Instagram goodness gets posted), before announcing it on the site next week. Just to use the weekend to find any further edge cases.

In any case, as for the Quarantine Corner - we're still in the shed. Of course we are - but we've got gondola upgrade plans - you just wait (or, just watch the episode)!

If you're new here, or aren't familiar with the Quarantine Corner, it's a lighthearted video series about some of the behind the scenes bits from the world of DCR. Think of it as an extended version of the sorta-weekly DCR newsletter, skewed towards mostly non-technical stuff, with both The Girl and I. Generally our goal is to shoot it in a single take with minimal fuss on lighting/video/etc. Also, The Girl edits these videos - including all those lovely captions (while me, Ray, writes these Supporter e-mails).

Here’s what’s on tap this week in Episode 17:

- We're still in the shed + why we don't want to do paperwork
- The great gondola bike street chase (for realz folks!)
- Deep backstory on my gondola's twin
- Damage you can't unsee on my Peloton bike
- Some behind the scenes funny tidbits on my Peloton bike review
- Zwift  $17 Weight Scale Fun
- Why Zwift rules dictate weigh-ins with cycling kits versus sans-clothes
- Snow to Amsterdam! And bikes + sledding
- The Girl's plans to relocate to the forest, alone, in a tent
- Trainer stock notification/alert system
- Behind the scenes on the DCR site IT/developer side
- Blooper reel!

You can watch the full episode here

Or, you can watch all previous DCR Supporter exclusive videos here, including all past quarantine corner episodes and other goodies.

As always, feel free to drop a note on the YouTube video if you've got suggestions for future behind the scenes type things you want unearthed. And we're happy to add it to the topic list for next time.

Thanks for being a DCR Supporter!
-Ray (and The Girl)
