Online Racing - Virtualtraining (Cyclops)

[BicyclePower]

I dont know whats going on but my route search function in the Virtual Training app doesnt seem to be working. I cant find any route that I search for no matter where it is.

this is for internet routes correct?

if so it does take a few seconds to refresh.

I have downloaded the route for tonight. When downloading it says it's size is 0 bytes, but it seems to work ok.

 

What is worrying is that some of the gradients are as much as 25%. Not sure I will be able to turn the crank.

And walking/pushing next to the trainer doesn't help either :-(

Aah gosh okay, didnt see those extreme gradients. Should I change it to a different route?

[Jay_B]

Okay route changed - max gradient is 11% & avg 2%

Is your back tyre warped? I have not yet done a race with you.. (too scared)... but was using an old bike with slightly warped rear wheel, and power meter crank.... only to find it slipped all the time and power was very low, heart rate very high and mood UNenhanced... tossed it off today, put on my regular road bike, and sang like a dream. But PowerBeam did not pick up my Duotrap cadence sensor... so we start again... sigh

Doubt the wheel is the problem, but I'm going full tilt, and battling to get to 200watts, normally I "roll" on 200 I calibrated checked tyre pressure, but it just felt like I was going backwards???, I know we all have off days but this was ridiculous

Overtrained?

I wish, I was away for a few days and just sat on spinning watt bike, and done some leg work, just to keep going till I got back, hour a day CHILLED

[Jaco-fiets]

When did you get back? Sometimes you can be a bit rusty until you have 1 or 2 harder sessions back in the legs

My hat... that was my first race with you guys and I kuked off at 87% avg HR for the route and still finished a good few minutes behind. Good workout though, I didn't have the live feed so I just kept going hoping I was hanging on with you guys

[DIPSLICK]
