Sounds like a broken record but it was cold outside again this morning with 24 degrees when I got the kitchen this morning. Needless to say I am indoors again on the Cycleops windtrainer. It is supposed to up to the low 50’s by the afternoon but this is till below my wimpy 60 degree threshold.

In my quest for a cheap “smart” trainer and utilizing all of the gear I have, today I configured the PowerPod for indoor training. It was simple to change from outdoors using the Isaac software. Add the trainer and then switch the mode to indoor. When I started the workout I checked the Elemnt computer sensor readings and the PowerPod was connected but the watts did not appear on the Elemnt screen. I continued on for a few minutes and decided to pair the PowerPod with the Elemnt again thinking maybe it pairs for indoors separate from the outdoors. As soon as I did that the watts appeared on the Elemnt screen. Now I wonder when I eventually ride outdoors again if I will have a problem. Time will tell.

As I write this the desktop picture on my computer shows a nice sunny beach in Cancun from our cruise about two years ago in February. I wish it were that warm here.
