I'm considering using a smart trainer to do periodic testing for interested riders in the youth program. Ideally something for a short sprint 5-6 sec, a longer sprint (30 s), aerobic power (3-4 min), and threshold power (20 min). Looks like wahoo has a test called the Full Frontal (who dreams up these names anyway?). Anyone tried this? Especially ways to make the test reproducible approx every 4 months, and other factors to make it reasonably accurate for motivating and defining training.

Ride Marshals will be mostly making sure people don’t get lost or left behind.  If there’s a medical or safety issue, report that to the Police.  No longer will Ride Marshals have to close intersections and block drivers, which will be a big pressure release!   The Details   Date: September 30, 2023 Location:  Songhees Park Schedule:   8 am - Event set-up: stage, sound, tent 8:45 - Ride Marshal talk/prep 9:30 - Speeches begin at Songhees Park  10:30 Riders leave Songhees Park (9.2km ride with Police escort) 11:30 - Arrival at Royal Athletic Park/South Island Powwow 12:30 - Event tear-down, return equipment Next Steps   If you would like to help out at the Ride, please let me know as soon as possible.   Just reply to my email in my signature block.   Additional Help:   We could use help with:   • Postering • Event set-up • Audio set-up on the day of • Distributing Noise Permit notification letters • Spreading the word (digitally) So, if there’s anything that you can lend a hand with, we would be really grateful!   Contact for Capital Bike Adam Krupper (he/him) Executive Director 250-920-5775 adam.krupper@capitalbike.ca capitalbike.ca
