It is Cyber Monday and it is wet and gloomy outside. All mountain bike trails are closed until the freeze sets in permanent this Winter. It is a day to stay indoors.
And if the trails cover with snow and you got no fat bike training indoors is the only way. I’m not talking strength training or some fancy steppin aerobics. I’m talkin simulators designed to assist your training. Via the wonders of Facebook two more instruments of indoor self torture have come to my attention.
The first is Zwift. It appears to be strictly software, compatible with a variety trainers and computers. It is a social medium for training. You can train together with people from around the world while you are alone at home. That is a feature on most of the trainer software these days.
The Peloton Bike is for those of you who enjoy spinning classes and being encouraged on by a trainer. You can workout from home with a live class or load one up on demand. You can compare your stats with all from around the world who have completed the same class. You can also ride virtual trails and courses. It is unclear if the virtual rides are interactive with others or if the required tablet comes with the bike. I suppose if the tablet is not included you could also use any type of computer set up in front of you.
“Three posts in one day?” I hear your accusations. “You must be behind again in your writing goals.”
Not anymore. It is time to shop.
The $124 question: What were my three most favorite WORS races? Keeping the same question. Check out the Charity Jackpot Page link in the sidebar to possibly triple the amount.
