A month late and a thousand dollars over budget. The pizza oven? The new septic system? The roof repair? Brakes on the Exploder? CycleVidz.com launch? My training plan for 2012?
None of the above, OR all of the above, depending on one's perspective. But in this case we're referencing the grand opening of the CompuTrainer Multi-Rider Center in the Bainbridge Athletic Club. There has been delays, for which I assume 100% responsibility. Some unavoidable, others, in hindsight, avoidable with a combination of time, energy, talent and a solid line of credit. Bottom line is that while juggling the pins, I dropped a few and that equates to time. And the delay.
But this morning with great intention and anticipation, we gathered the first test group and saddled up, eager for action, hot for the game.
I thought that after two full days of testing I had the (somewhat dated) software sufficiently hacked and adding two additional bikes would be a cake walk.
Not to be. Frustrated, I dismissed the teams and went straight to the troubleshooting protocols. An hour later, a phone call to tech support and a review of the owners manual got us back in the fast lane.
All meaning that NOW (was that emphatic enough?) we are ready to rock.
Stay tuned. We will be taking all this over to the CycleVidz.com site shortly as well. Where our motto (with all due respect to The Eagles) is: Everything, all the time.
Life in the fast lane. Ug huh.
This morning in the HoM: Team One (front row) Bernie and Clo. Back row: Steph and Chris. How we doing so far?

Where was the fix? Was it correcting some settings with the serial ports?
Each bike must be set up one at a time. Don't ask me why. When I followed this procedure they all came on-line perfectly. Also more individual rider data (weight, age, etc) is part of the puzzle as well. Those two things got us going. I am planning on a step by step instructional sheet as well as a no-frills video showing and demonstrating all this. Now I know why there has been so much buzz over the new software.
i can no longer fit into my new computrainer jersy. got any xxxx-large?
Negative, you don't need a larger jersey, rather a smaller gut. Hence the title sponsor. Suck it up cupcake.
