Thank Goodness for Backup Sensor Indoor Bike Workout
I probably could’ve went outside to ride today but after hassling with the Wahoo Speed sensor battery I wasn’t in the mood. Before starting the fluid trainer workout today i checked the battery on the speed sensor. It was dead after only one workout. I started to put another battery in but stopped when I remembered I still have the Garmin ANT+ speed sensor that the Wahoo one replaced. When I picked up the Garmin and shook it a few times the little green LED started flashing which surprised me after almost a year of no use. I started the Elemnt computer to pair it with the Garmin but it wouldn’t connect. I thought replacing the battery might fix it and it did. With the new battery the Garmin paired with the Elemnt in a few seconds. Now I was ready to start the workout!!
Outdoors it was 64 degrees when I started the workout and by the time I finished almost an hour later it was up to 66. But this won’t last long with another cold front likely to arrive early Tuesday morning. There might be some warming by Saturday which means I might actually get to put some rubber on the road instead of the trainer. I hope to ride the Bike Through The Forest & The Hills – Coldspring, TX. But the weather might not pan out.
With the cold and/or wet weather my bike activity has been indoors. So far I have biked 91.64 miles according to my SportTracks dashboard.
