Riding Videos in a heatwave - air conditioning

Just noticed a reply earlier today about not riding Velo Reality inside due to heatwave . Maybe not the ideal place to post this, but seemed better than the other choices. Thought other people might be interested as relevant to everybody on this forum. I have a problem with my eyes due to glaucoma, ...

No Segments Yet

I have just enjoyed riding the new Big Cottonwood Canyon Road. Very scenic and you feel immersed in it. There do not seem to be any segments (orange, majenta, yellow, blue) in place yet. It would be great if you can add these - I killed myself doing it this morning and would have been very pleased t...

Zion National Park 0135 Gone

I see lots of new videos have arrived - good! There are now 3 new videos = Zion parts 1 - 3. I am trying to work out how they relate to the old 0135 Zion National Park video which I have already bought. In particular, to compare the old route with the new route to see what the new parts might offer ...

Re: Whats on the way?

Is there a timescale for releasing the Italy and Germany videos?

And, being English, are the plans for North of England going ahead?

Re: Slower Previous Performance is Faster!

That's great to know. I consider the issue I raised to be understandable now. Maybe the discrepancy is a bit more than I would expect, but there is no future in pursuing it with the case I raised. So I consider the issue closed and am very appreciative of all the work you put in that helped to narro...

Re: Slower Previous Performance is Faster!

Thanks for the investigation - your talk of losing data gave me an idea... I had front chain ring gear change problems over several weeks with the chain coming off when I changed too aggressively. I looked at the graph of the performance file (.tcx) for the previous ride that completed the blue segm...

Re: Slower Previous Performance is Faster!

I should have said, I am using a wired computrainer so Ant+ has no bearing on the problem. Today was the 1st time I had clear evidence to prove there was a problem. The previous performance finished at least 1 min before me rather than 31 sec after giving a total error of at least 1 min 31 which is ...

Slower Previous Performance is Faster!

I love the feature where I can race a previous performance on a course, and see the position of the previous go displayed relative to me. It makes for great training as I strive to beat the previous go. Wonderful, thank you. However, on several occasions my previous performance producing less averag...

Re: Veloreality proposes feature please respond

My FTP is about 223. So normalising everybody to about 200W will not dramatically affect my efforts. I use my computrainer and VeloReality to train for time trialling. Be it slow endurance hill climbing type rides or fast rides on the flat. I like to race against 'real' people. So if somebody averag...

Re: Feel of the resistance and power

Using the original figures for speeds and gears ratios shows the cadence on the flat is 1.27 x the cadence uphill. Assuming typical road bike 700-23C wheels, the actual cadences come out as 76.9 and 60.5 which is a ratio of 1.27. But you get the same ratio whatever the wheel size. Admin's calculatio...
