Duane_Bosch Posted March 30, 2020 Share Do we run in erg mode on the smart trainer or what? My gears on my idt bike is about non operational , will have to put my "real" bike on if need be..I could well be wrong here but.... As far as I know erg mode is for workouts only. You match the power required and the trainer takes care of the rest. If you are doing a ride/route/race then you don't do erg mode cos you are fake riding an actual route with gradient changes. You aren't trying to match your power to the requirements of the workout. Does this make sense? Help.Me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 30, 2020 Share As I am one of the working class, I’m only able to ride in the evenings, and weekends. I found Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve (full lap). I’m thinking of riding it on Saturday - if anyone is interested, let me know. As I said... ride it (all trainers welcome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted March 31, 2020 Share A tip for those doing a Rouvy race for the first time... Dont leave it to the last minute to join the race. Login to rouvy and get your IDT set working well before the race start.You can do another ride or free ride to warm up.If you do another ride on Rouvy to warm up, you have to stop and end that activity before joining the race, join the race a few minutes before the start, you can continue to pedal / warm up in this mode. A countdown clock will start during the final seconds before the start. Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
