Cyclogs Scotland

[viniga]

Away on a non-cycling holiday for a couple of weeks so I won't be logging much more this month - only 1 commute left. Not a great month for miles for me, still troubled by an injury I picked up on the Ken Laidlaw sportive last month so training rides have been very limited.

I have confidence tho that Team Ecosse will get 2nd place this month without me!

See u in a couple of weeks,

I'm having an end of month surge, 42 miles yesterday, 35 of these to see Dave Gorman Live at Carnegie Hall Clashmore
A good night, a two and a half hour show for £5 a ticket. http://www.davegorman.com/livedates.html

It's that time of year and I got my Turbo trainer out last night for the first time

What's the deal with the turbo trainer then? Do we log Turbo miles or not?

I'm not making a case either way, just not sure about the etiquette.

Absolutely not, you cycle in the wind and rain like the rest of us, turbo miles will not be counted

 

[Auntie Helen]

In the main CycleChat team (not the Scootish offshoot) some people log turbo miles and some don't.

As I don't have a turbo myself I think it's unfair to log the miles

 

[ianrauk]

i think turbo miles should be logged at how far the actual machine has moved along the floor..

And I have mentioned before.
Perhaps someone should start a Cycle Chat Cyclogs Turbo Team.

Something to say SB, turbo trainers are the work of Satan himself

My *cough* was more a hint to Auntie Helen.

FWIW, cyclogs is jusy a place to record my road milage. I would not record any turbo milage but that is a personal decision.

I do have an old trubo trainer, the most boring form of training possible but each to their own.

Yes what you get up to behind closed doors is no one's buisness BTW i'm having a look at this Forth Finale thing, start time say's 9am but are you allowed to start any later ? the earliest i can get to Dalmeny is 9.30am.

 

[snorri]

What's all this training nonsense anyway?

I should image if you contact the organiser in advance I could not see this being an issue. I have seen others racing off in the direction of others between start times.

I will make a decision on this one very soon. My daughter is due to have a baby in the next week or so and the social secretary has advised me in the strongest possible terms not to disappear for hours on end, and I have a hundred planned for next Saturday , nor commit to an events until we know that all concerned are healthy and safe, and as you well know I always do as I am told.

OK, seems to me the general consensus is not to log 'turbo miles' so I won't.

I'm not a great fan of the turbo. But I have found using the 55min workouts in in Smart Cycling keep it varied and challenging enough to avoid me going mental.
