Duane_Bosch Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 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

PierreH Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Aw man! I just did 4 hours on Rouvy yesterday.. still recovering. Lets do another race next week Tuesday as well?
DjCyclist Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Hi Hubbers, anyone having issues trying to register or logg onto Rouvy.
Frosty Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 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).

SwissVan Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 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
