Got my smart trainer set up last night.

iPad on Zwift and connected as easy as you like

Something different from Sufferfest for a change.

Have to wait til a day off to use it!

One thing....when I'm pairing devices at the start, it gives me the option of watts or the speed sensor. What's the difference as with the watts I still have a speed indicated.

Cheers

A lot of rubbish get out and ride your bike lol

true

I wish it was that easy. I remember the halcyon days of being free to do as I please on my midweek days off but now my riding is confined to my 2 Sundays in every 5 or the turbo at 8 or 9pm!!

Did I say I'm signed up for La Marmotte!!

Howdy. While I'm waiting for Paul L to reply to my text...I've got myself a smart trainer...has B+ and FEC I believe.

As of today, Zwift are now on iOS so I can use my iPad.

So...any pointers on set up to make it go smoothly?

Do I need to connect my garmin to the trainer or Zwift or both?

Do I need the garmin sensors etc if my trainer is 'smart'?

Cheers

Night shift for me.

Hopefully you'll have a range of possible dates for Fred.

One advantage of me going...to balance out the fact I'll probably be lagging....is that, with enough notice, I should be able to hire our work mini bus.

Nice and cheap and I could probably take all the bikes so we can cut down on cars.

Otherwise I think it would be like 2 x 2 bikes per car?

Darryl.....I accidentally denied your request to follow me on Strava so try again if you wish

Not that I'm on it much these days!

I'm number 14

Is there any way of stopping/checking potential joiners or is it all in the hands of Strava admin?

Going private Alan. Just for the beer and kebabs!

Shimano 105 calipers and sora shifters.

Ah, ShimaNO...,says it all I'm afraid

Up for this too.

Fred or The Struggle?

Reading about the route....I'm scared of the descents already!!

Anyone heard of this?

Later in the month so crucial extra training days

I was about to edit it to Sat before anyone spotted that

It's more that I only finish work around 4pm on a Sat. Thought you guys would be leaving well before.

I might be able to use a couple of hours to get away.

Probably getting ahead of myself anyway...I'll have a think after Dec 1st

Darryl...it was more the travel on the Friday. Would anyone else be down after work?

I'm guessing I could be getting home really late on Sunday?

On further investigation, this is a no go for me.

Haven't got the days to take off and don't think I could finish work at 4pm on Sat, drive down, ride then drive home and be fit for a 5am rise for Mon early shift!

^^

Yeah....I crushed my new garmin when I was putting my car back seats up. My fault but they sent me a brand new unit out pretty quickly

Is that hat the one that says police Scotland & we can noise up other drivers

Yeah....will make for a quick drive down with the lights and sirens

Not sure if I'm included in the count so far?

I'm in if I get the day off.

Once we see if we're in, I can plan ahead for the works mini buses...much cheapness

Sorry....badly worded. I meant that because it's not guaranteed that all of us might get a place, do we do it on a different day?

Or make that kind of decision after the places are decided....unless folk would be committed and have paid by then.

With it being a lottery as to if all would get in, is this one where we drive down on a day that isn't the event?

Not sure if you're joking Davie? I was only saying that to add something to the chat

Please don't be there at 10 because I won't be!

Actually, I will be out but doing my own thing.

How about 10am?

I tried that other method of not being lazy and Googling it

First I've heard of this!

Link doesn't work for me.

Three of those goals seem reasonable

Apart from number 4 :)
