The cold weather might loosen up later today with the high in the 50’s but I am still inside riding the Cycleops windtrainer. 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 Cycleops Fuid Indoor Trainer. 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.

I decided to stop my Strava premium account when it expires in April and subscribed to SportTracks. SportTracks handles indoor rides separately from outdoor rides, has better goal settings and I have the desktop software that interfaces with the web version.

Sunday it might get to the 70’s and I hope to be on the road for a few miles at least.
