Hi
I have a road race coming up at the end of the month, it's pretty much 2 long climbs, descending and a bit of flat. I have the course as a route in Strava, is there a way I can ride this virtually?
By virtually I mean either view on screen with trainer control, or have my trainer simulate the resistance within a workout without the visuals.
Equipment:
Cycleops Magnus / Wahooo BOLT, Stages PM.
Thanks

They have a free month trial on there, I may give that a go. Thanks.

You can set up rider bots on your courses too - although I've not really used them.
The downside is the lack of other live riders to ride against - although there have been more riders more recently - you're not doing a circular course (other than the velodrome) so you don't get that Zwift type riding.
I'll download it all tonight on the laptop and see how it looks, first glance it seems just what I am after. I'm currently using Trainer Road as not a big fan of zwift so the lack of other riders is not an issue.

Did it get processed? Should be ready by now ...
It was ready last night for me to ride it which I did. Quite impressed with the whole Bkool setup to be honest, I may use it a few times over the free trial but I'll be using Trainer Road primarily and not wanting to distract myself from my training. I then received a 60 day free trial of Rouvy last night......

I've tried Trainer Road - but tbh, I get bored. I tried Zwift, but it seemed too much like just going out on the road - which I can do if I want to. Bkool seemed cross between TR and Zwift - chose your course and ride it - which is great for focusing on specific tasks - although it could do with building in power targets as you ride - and of course, you can ride with others ...
