Perception and Reality

Seems as how we are in the middle of our BAC CompuTrainer TT program (where the RCVman will make his third attempt to break 40 minutes in a few hours), we thought another quick swing around the globe to show what other facilities are doing with the CT Multi-Rider systems would be fun.

First up our friends at d3multisport in Boulder, CO featuring Mike and Simon's immeasurable coaching skills. Photo of their very cool set-up at far right.

Then a quick look at how Lance's coach, Chris Carmichael at CTS uses the CTs in their group sessions (also incorporating a concept we are trying to replicate and perhaps even improve upon).

Then eastward to West Chester, PA for a look at the Velosouplesse shop. Photo above left is Brandon, Kyle and Mike about to go head-to-head from their swanky speed shop.

And finally to Peak to Peak Training in Denver.

It is interesting to note the difference in our RPE intervals and how they transfer to the exacting sciences of the CompuTrainer Time Trial demands. As both student and representative (Ergo Ambassador) , I fell they nicely connect the "dots of power adaptation", towards the individual discovery and eventual answer to the obvious query:

Is my perception reality?

Much the same way, it is hoped, that all indoor training will yield great improvements outdoors once the snow melts, the sky turns from gray to blue and somebody hollers "go".

Until then, dear friends, enjoy the (indoor) ride(s).
