Wahoo Kickr: How I setup mine

by Ray Garza        rgvcycling.com

Old man winter has visited the lower Rio Grande Valley and while it’s nothing like those in the Northern states it does affect me. Cold, windy and rainy days has kept me indoors for the past several months. I have managed hop out on the those 60+ degree days and put in some relaxing miles but otherwise, I’m indoors on my trainer. Oh no, the dreaded trainer you say. Not for me, I actually like riding my trainer and I’ve seen the improvements already on a couple of rides. Today, I’m going to describe my setup and what I do with my Wahoo Kickr.
What is a Kickr? Sounds like some car speakers or something but it’s not. It’s an indoor …

Fort Worth Bicycle Association

Saturday, February 07, 2015 9:00 am
Moved from the January calendar to the February calendar. Maybe we’ll get lucky with south winds; less likely in January.
We’re at an annual rotation for this route. Last year the snow had just moved away. Join us on a old club favorite with edits to the legacy route to create a different finish. Also added last year to this collection is an 80 miler that heads as far west as Santo.  The 60 route travels as far west as Lipan. The mid distance falls shy of Lipan before traveling the back to Weatherford. …
