umm, expecting perfect results is what makes the Thursday morning quarterbacking so much fun!

My guess is that something went screwy the speed sensor/algorithm on my computrainer. The wattage and W/kg stuff was spot on, but I was going much faster than everyone else at certain unpredictable times.

Can we stop expecting perfect results from these things? Have they ever really worked?

This is us not having any fun 1/8/14 Thanks for the pic @NeilX
Happening tomorrow? Ant horse trading?
I can't make it at 6 tonight. Is there space in the 7:30 class? Does someone want to trade with me?
I can trade with you. I can't make either 6pm or 7:30. So @Jeff, you can take my 7:30pm and that means a 6pm is up for grabs.
@Jessica: Thanks!

Ros also said he can't make the 7:30, so yet another slot is open there.
Time to renew for January.

Details to follows.
Yep.

Get some!
Its time to sign up for the next cycle of computrainer sessions at Ride Brooklyn. The existing groups will get first dibs on renewing. After NOON on Tuesday, Jan 21, we'll post the wufoo links via which the remaining spots will be sold. Details below.

It's that time again…winter computrainer sessions at Ride Brooklyn are here. If you don't know what computrainers are, RB has a basic explanation here: http://ridebrooklynny.com/about/computrainer-classes-pg69.htm


*  *  *


Details:


-The cost for one cycle (four weekly sessions) is $80. You must sign up for the whole cycle. You must pay in advance to reserve your spot. More on how to pay below.


-The second cycle will commence on January 22, and ends February 12.


-There will be two, back-to-back sessions available - one at 6PM and one at 7:30PM. You can do either, or both is you like (Vlad does it, you can too!)


-Sessions start at 6 and 7:30 sharp, so really you need to be there 20 minutes early, at least, to set up and warm up properly. In past years, we've not been very punctual. RB has asked that we try to be on time this year.


-Those who commit to this cycle will get first chance to renew for the next one. 


-If you can't make a session, you are allowed to sell your spot - but that's between you and whoever your sub is. The club will not deal with transferring payments.


-You need to be on time.

This is a great way to break up the monotony of winter indoor training. It's also a great chance to get some coaching and advice, and if you want to, suffer through some simulated racing.


If you want to come out firing in the spring, this will help you get there!


Feel free to ask questions on this thread.


First come, first suffered.


Hey -- 
 I'm in the next session but would love for someone to pick up my spot Wednesday night (1/22). Just show up and give Vlad $20 and he can try not to spend it on protein powder or whatever that Osmos stuff is.

6pm! 
Here are the links to buy the remaining spots in the computrainer sessions. I believe there are 3 left in each session.

I'm in for the 7:30 session.
I won't be able to make it tonight. If anybody would like to take my spot, contact me.
Since I'm out for the next two sessions I'm not signing up for Feb.
Keep me in mind if you can't make your spot and keep grinding fellas.
I'm out for tonight at 7:30.  Please let me know if you want to take my spot--no charge.  .
Aaron Blum will be taking my 7:30 spot for tonight.
@Vlad should I bring my walkman c.1980 or do you have this one covered.

wishing I lived in Brooklyn...
Shiiit.  If wishes were fishes... how about wishing I lived in the south of France!
I made a new mix!
I'm out for this month. May try to pick up a session or two.
Aaron I am actually going to be able to make it after all. But it seems like there is always an open bike so you should just come. 
Nevermind. Saw you've got the 7:30. Cool.

@Vlad-I assume it's full of all that happy hippy dulcimer, flute, and harp music you like so much?
Doesn't look like I am going to make it tonight.  Seems like there are a lot of openings for 7:30 tonight, but if anyone wants to officially claim my spot, let me know.

Vlad's music is the main reason I did not renew for the second cycle.
@Aaron, you did awesome tonight! I think people standing outside could probably hear all the screaming going on down there. High decibels. Tonight kicked my ass too. UGH
Haaaay...

First this happened

That's 53 minutes of excellence (times two). You're welcome.
@vlad - Negative split. Nice. BTW, Eric read Al the riot act so Al is going to overhaul trainer 6 before next Wednesday.
