Elite smart trainer ride. Today was the first time I was able to ride my new smart trainer and have it working properly. It took about 5 minutes to setup and I had no issues. I think the trick was to remove as many wireless devices from the training area. I was able to confirm that you know when the trainer is working if you get a solid red light on the unit when pairing it with the software. Such was the case today. I chose the London course. I was able to do 2 laps totaling a virtual 27.4 miles. The course was mostly rolling with a good climb in between. It was an immersive experience. The best on any stationary trainer I've ridden to date. I still have some trouble-shooting to do. I noticed that the configuration squeaks a lot while putting the power down. Either it's the skewer that was provided, or something else. Overall, I felt comfortable. The sensation of inertia is not perfect, but enough to feel like a genuine ride. I was able to get my HR above 150 today. I attribute that to the fact that the trainer had variable resistances. Notably, the climbs. It really felt like I was going uphill and I had to downshift to accomodate. I warmed up for about 20 to 30 minutes and then was able to put the power down. I felt good on the climbs, it was a familiar sensation that I enjoy. There were likely over 100 riders in the virtual world. Of many capabilities. The scenery was realistic. I was able to see where I was headed and get the mind thinking I want to keep the power down till I reach that mark in the road. There's supposed to be a drafting effect when near other riders. I felt it, but it was very subtle. Perhaps because I was going less than 20MPH for the majority of the ride. I look forward to the next training session. Hopefully on another map of equal immersion. Two thumbs up!
