Garfield2010 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Just remembered Ipad is sitting at 0% at home...and not plugged in...hopefully I can get it charged enough before 7....I should though. 7pm is a lekker time...suicide hour is done. Why not charge it while riding? I did that yesterday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfield2010 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Can someone point me to where I can get more info on this? http://virtualtraining.cycleops.com/en/ You will need a trainer that changes resistance. Wahoo Kickr is a good option if you have the budget. Then you will need either a PC or a Tablet. It will either need Bluetooth 4.0 or you will need an ANT+2 adaptor. Honestly a tablet/I-pad with USB 4.0 is easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. all the above is great, the Garmin is not needed at all. if you have a CycleOps trainer (any trainer) and an ANT+ Speed/Cadence sensor you can sync this up to your iPad with a Wahoo ANT+ key and join the races, while power may not be 100% accurate it will give you an indicator. otherwise allot of the guys are using the PowerBeam Pro a high end A frame trainer that gives resistance and measures Power from R10 595.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Travis. Posted June 23, 2014 Share I have a CycleOps Fluid2, with a garmin speed/cadence as well as an ANT+ dongle for PC. Will all of that suffice as a start? I'll download the software tonight and give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
