Yesterday I was curious about when I bought the trainer and after searching Quicken I found out it was 12\/27\/1999. What a coincidence that BikeTiresDirect.com sent me an email with a sale on trainers. After some deliberation I decided 17 years was time to retire the windtrainer and bought a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cycleops.com\/product\/cycleops-fluid\"><strong>Cycleops Fuid Indoor Trainer<\/strong><\/a>. Supposedly this will be a lot quieter and smoother. With all of the sensors and Powerpod I have I cannot justify spending $400 to $600 on a smart trainer when the vast majority of my time I ride on the road. Plus I do not see the value in services like Zwift.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to stop my Strava premium account when it expires in April and subscribed to <a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\"><strong>SportTracks<\/strong><\/a>. SportTracks handles indoor rides separately from outdoor rides, has better goal settings and I have the desktop software that interfaces with the web version.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday it might get to the 70&#8217;s and I hope to be on the road for a few miles at least.<\/p>\n<h2>SportTracks Indoor Workout Summary<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/16624105\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"38274\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2018\/01\/04\/cold-weather-break-ahead-but-indoor-cycling-today\/1-4-2018-sport-tracks-indoor-workout-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-4-2018-Sport-Tracks-Indoor-Workout-Summary.jpg?fit=1897%2C1037&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1897,1037\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Rick Ankrum&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1515066025&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1-4-2018 Sport Tracks Indoor Workout Summary\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-4-2018-Sport-Tracks-Indoor-Workout-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C328&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-4-2018-Sport-Tracks-Indoor-Workout-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C437&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38274 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-4-2018-Sport-Tracks-Indoor-Workout-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C656\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-4-2018-Sport-Tracks-Indoor-Workout-Summary.jpg?w=1897&amp;ssl=1 1897w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-4-2018-Sport-Tracks-Indoor-Workout-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C350&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-4-2018-Sport-Tracks-Indoor-Workout-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C328&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-4-2018-Sport-Tracks-Indoor-Workout-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C437&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-4-2018-Sport-Tracks-Indoor-Workout-Summary.jpg?resize=750%2C410&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-4-2018-Sport-Tracks-Indoor-Workout-Summary.jpg?resize=1140%2C624&amp;ssl=1 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cold weather might loosen up later today with the high in the 50&#8217;s but I am still inside riding the Cycleops windtrainer.
