With the weather turning cold (for me anyway) I started looking for a way to get time on the bike indoors. My Cycleops windtrainer has been in the closet catching dust for a couple of years so I started searching online to see if I could use it for virtual training with something like Zwift. It looks like I can except my laptop is not compatible with any of the programs I found. I use a Pixelbook which limits my choices. I could install the Rouvy app on it and I might but for today’s workout I used the Elemnt computer and the speed and cadence sensors already on the bike.

Dusting off the Cycleops and getting the bike positioned wasn’t too hard but I needed to reposition the quick release lever on the rear wheel to get the dot within the green zone so the wheel didn’t come out. A picture of the setup in our breakfast area.

The cold weather is in the forecast through Saturday so I will be using this several times until then.
