Woohoo - Trainerroad power transmission!

[DawieO]

So, this may be a bit of a unique obsession, but here goes anyway...

 

Let me firstly be frank and state, I am a data nazi. I want all my metrics on all my devices all the time. There, said it.

 

Now, I have been using Trainerroad with Ant+ sensors and my Computrainer for a long time, with my road bike and a Garmin 910XT.

 

I have also been using a Powertap with my Garmin 910xt on my Tribike.

 

The annoying thing has been that, when on the Computrainer, I get no power data in the Garmin (Powertap is on the OTHER bike, remember).

 

SUFFER NO MORE. The awesome team at Trainerroad have added a feature called TrainerRelay which, wait for it... Wait for it... Wait for it... TRANSMITS THE COMPUTRAINER DATA OUTWARDS VIA ANT+ !!!

 

All you now do is add it as a powermeter on your Garmin bike profile and Bob's your uncle, you have the POWER!

 

Damn, I am so excited I am going to go do a session right now!

 

[Shangri la]

sounds a bit anal to me, but then what do I know I just ride my bike!
