Online Racing - Virtualtraining (Cyclops)

Corners....what corners....you blast through them like a straight. The only time the resistance unit will kick in is if the profile changes...luckily it warns you of upcoming changes so you mentally prepare lol.

 

Good, don't want to see a big TILT displaying on the screen if you go through a 180 degree hairpin bend at 40 kmh.

 

I'm quite keen to see how the route I recorded onto my garmin compares to reality.... obviously it wont be the same...probably harder on the power beam

ok, the weight race is up. hopefully I created the course correctly.

 

It is made from a gpx file from the Tour of Durban. The 1st 18 odd km is fairly flat and then we climb into Pinetown.

I have the same problem as before (on PC). "It is not possible to obtain route information. The rout has likely been removed" and then when I try to download it just blinks. Damn

Nice to have you on our team one of the days swiss....the online races are really cool.

 

Now as for riding the same route that you have real life....you will feel more tired on the powerbeam because well there are no downs....what the brake will do is effectively go to 0% gradient...but adjust you speed...so for all purposes you will be bombing down every hill instead of coasting

Make sure that you are not searching only for routes with videos in them. There is a check box that is automatically selected when searching for new routes to only find routes that contain videos.

When I register it asks whether I want to download the route. Then the blink.

I'm in!

[TALUS]

I will try again tonight. looks like I am forked

Don't forget to adjust your weight to 70kg and the bike to weight to 8kg.

[DIPSLICK]

:devil: :clap: CANT WAIT, it must be a huge difference hey?? obviously for the guys faaaaarr away from 70,,,,im like a child i cant wait

[DIPSLICK]

you light weights better not cheat and go even lighter :cursing:

[BarHugger]

This weight thing is interesting. Does this imply that your absolute power output stays the same (Watts), but you relative power (Watt/kilogram body mass) increases? So putting in a weight of 70kg, I would drop 34kg virtually instantly (42kg with bike)........and gain 1.4W/kg turbo boost power on the small engine.

 

Maybe should start saving up for some seriaaas IDT system........

Exactly that....almost like we all drank 2L of EPO before the race.

Ok registered...praap.

 

Gentlemen...Rev your Engines....GO!

 

Looking forward to it.... a bit worried but will be good to get rid of the cobwebs.

 

Might have a problem in winter...time zone differences, after end October with the time changes we will be 1 hour behind you chaps
