Great question Maria and Lucia will be on RAAM in the support crew still. So the only way that happens is if @Jim Parker is around and not working and can post like he did for Calvins or may be he has another delegate. The usual protocol (that just sort of evolved) is email me or text me...

Best results will be indoors on a trainer; that's always the best investment; because if it's too hot, too wet, too early or too late you can always get on the trainer pedal and watch a movie. And time is a good time especially if it's the offseason. All winter and spring I ride at 8pm-1am...

Yes that is a rub; to do the structured training in Trainer road we need an FTP value; that requirement is because the Works are universal but Scaled in difficulty to your strength based on your FTP value. The volume of training is controlled by measuring your TSS which is a power based metric...

Yeah there's some of that; the free tool does have an amazing amount of stuff in it. I actually don't use it. I sync it to WKO4 which is the desktop app. It is even crazier but it's programable like a spreadsheet so I only have to build my stuff once and I can apply it to multiple people...

If almost feel like we are taking backward. Big ring in Front 50T-56T typical and small in the back 11T would be the normal wording. When you say smaller gear that implies like the 28-32T in the back. Running 50x11 and pedaling 80 rpm should put you well into the high 20's mph (would be hard...

If you dont have train tracks to contend with I was running 90psi up front and 85psi on back with 700x25c this post weekend. Handling was good; speed and rolling was good. but it might be late in the game to make a change.

Ok I promised to post some of this outside the TR paywall so people could review; but we are fast getting into the details that only work if you are joining the project and actually doing indoor training in a controlled environment. So keep that in mind when reviewing. Step 3 will also get...

Yes you can get cadence from the stages. You can also use power match where power come from the stages and the trainer road tweaks the wahoo based on the stages power and not the kickr power this way you get the same power readings on the kickr and the road. This is how Larry trains and it is...

on the kickr no speed sensor needed. On the road not so important day one; the new Wahoo wheel hub unit is really nice.

BTLE is preferred on the TrainerRoad Apps; we just were discussing that relative to the older powertap wheel which is only ANT+

Etap for the win. :)

Some data would be useful. Bike Weight Rider weight Speed on the 2.3 km loop (my estimate is that you are doing 8 kph) 8min/60min = .13, 2.3/.13 = 8 kph cadence Gearing choice

Ok Let's break this down. For Just Recording out door ride. Use your Garmin 1000 and Power Tap to record your Rides. Sync Garmin 1000 to Garmin Connect; I assume you have a Free Connect account. Link your Garmin Connect Account to Training Peaks to automatically Sync your you rides to TP. For...

Opps sorry .... I was worried I'd do that (working with this stuff I get a bit to close to it); let me close some loops and I'll double back and lay out the items. That will be useful to write down.

Ok a couple of good points in here to cover. 1) If your Powertap supports the Bluetooth upgrade that is the cleanest way; then you can use any iPhone on the Road to record the workout. I switched to the wahoo BT/Ant+ speed sensor; BT/Ant+ cadence just to make that easier. Meanwhile The Android...

We are no longer waiting on codes; let the fun begin.

Ok as we get ready to go here is the kick Off message from the Trainer Road Team forum area. I'll be cross posting these main messages as they occur so that fence sitters can get the flavor of what we are doing. We are technically waiting on Trainer Road codes but those with user accounts...

Not if you build it from unobtain-ium.

I divorced one does that count :confused:

That's a pretty good looking fit; you might also be sitting 3-5 cmm to far back i the seat; but you are pretty long so that might just a be an illusion. Larry will be by shortly to mention the cranks might be a tad too long to get a great fit. looks like 5-10mm to me
