Not tempted to wait to see how the Tacx Neo bike turns out? That bike is on my radar for sure.

I've spent more than my fair share on trainer/s and kit for them. But that I would/am struggle/ing to justify .

I've got 2 pieces of kit I intend to purchase to add to my cycle kit. One indoor, one outdoor. However both are going to be rewards for targets completed. Unless there is a sudden price drop on one of them it may not be until after Christmas for either.

Anyway I'm having a redesign/relocation of the pain cave over the next few weeks in prep for both arrivals.

Nearly got 1st, couldn’t hold 500+ all the way. Hr shows I was trying though.

Blooming lightweight youngsters!

Great time.

Got ZA Workout #7 done yesterday. Easy until the 10 minute Free Ride - which of course is as hard as you make it. I was trying to beat my best 10 minute power of 280W. I got to 8:20 and was averaging 824 but then I bailed for 40 seconds (lightweight). I then pushed hard for the final minute and finished on 278W. Annoyed with myself for wimping out.

Still that is 7 workouts, 3 group rides and a race done so far.

I might have to accept a minute plus if a lightweight youngster can only get 10 sec under the minute

No, I prefer the climb feature Wahoo have developed.

I have no doubt Tacx will make a bomb out of this £2.5k trainer. I do hope they have got the gear shift perfect.

I’m not sure it’s long enough for weight to make too much of a difference.

 

[Norry1]

ah, minor typo. I did of course mean 284

Sorry Lars, my son tempted me with Avengers Infinity War and I just forgot.
I had spin the legs in preparation earlier in the day too. We both know I would have been trying to keep pace with you

Not so sure. I see your PB is 10 secs faster: https://www.strava.com/segments/12744502
176 bpm avg. That's my max puls.

You would say that
I know I won’t get anywhere near 1 minute.

That’s Bridgy style HR max of 181. Surprised I am still here!

Do it in a race- blast into it and hold high watts. I think Darren still on a pro so watts may show higher than they would do otherwise. Cracking time.
