You can log in- and race against them in real-time, as well as then have the entire thing livestreamed and commented on over on YouTube daily.īKool: The company is running a ‘Stay Home Cup’, which is featuring stages from events that would normally be occurring right now. In addition, Rouvy is also launching a Spring Classics race against real-world pros each day at 17:00 UTC. They’ve also got structured training options too, as well as races and augmented reality type functionality where they overlay avatars on real-world courses. They’ve got thousands and thousands of videos recorded from all corners of this globe. Rouvy as an app is largely focused on re-riding outdoor routes from around the world indoors. Also, they’ve got a free 30-day trial atop that. Rouvy: The company is donating 1EUR to an Italian fund for every person who completes a challenge featuring rides from around Italy. So you’ll have to track that on your own. The only downside to the digital app compared to the bike though is that you can only connect HR and cadence sensors, not wattage. Or, at the very least, you’ll have suffered immensely by the end of it. If you’ve never tried Peloton before, and are a bit skeptical, doing the free trial and taking one of his classes might change your mind a bit. For those of you that prefer structured workouts, I’d recommend trying out the power zone workouts, and in particular I enjoy the Christian Vande Velde classes (former pro cyclist). There’s no difference in the classes you get when you have a full Peloton bike versus just the app, and you can use tons of devices – even a web browser, to play back the content (live or pre-recorded). Peloton: The company is offering a free 90-day trial of their digital app, which enables you to try out the entire Peloton platform free during that duration (normally $12/month). There’s only a few more days left, but it’s even worthwhile going back and watching some of the previous stuff. There’s been pro workouts that you can join in on Zwift-live, plus live streaming on their Facebook page. The most prominent one (aside from Tour of Watopia, where you get double XP right now) is they’re running a Where the World Rides series with Team Mitchelton-SCOTT. Zwift: They’re not running any promos, but they’ve kicked up into high gear the number of events. I’ve been using a combo of Apple TV + my iPhone, but there’s a variety of ways you can do it. Again, I’ll dive into it in more detail next week. This video from SmartBikeTrainers yesterday recaps the differences well, but, there’s no better time to try out RGT now that they’ve made it available to everyone. They also have races and structured workouts. RGT can connect to your smart trainer and control the resistance according to terrain. Of course, Zwift has boatloads more users. Road Grand Tours is roughly like Zwift in concept, except all their routes are available all the time (versus only two worlds in Zwift). RGT Cycling (Road Grand Tours): They’re offering free premium access to everyone, as of earlier this week. Oh, and you can get a free 30-day trial using code 58cofg. Also, they’ve got the best and most nuanced implementation of Wahoo KICKR Climb support, which adds to the realism. For those not familiar, FulGaz shoots high-quality videos outdoors and then allows you to re-ride them indoors on a variety of platforms, in conjunction with your smart trainer. These are from different countries across Europe – including rides like the Cap Formentor (probably one of my top 2-3 favorite rides in the world, to Alpe d’Huez). It’s hard enough to find bread, veggies, and Speculoos cookies at the store without me using up all the words too.įulGaz: They’re running a Tour of Europe schedule the next 16 days or so, which has a highlighted epic ride/route each day, taking roughly an hour. Mostly because I’ve already written about half of those analysis pieces, and we can’t have any word-hoarding going on around here. I’m not going to dig into the analysis too much in any of these, I’ll save the app analysis for next week’s massive app guide. It resurrects what I had started last fall, but I’m putting in time on all the apps again, just to catch anything that’s changed since then. It’ll be out early next week, covering in-depth ten leading indoor training apps. To which, you’re asking- what about a complete indoor trainer app round-up! Yup – that’s coming. So this post is just a quick round-up of all the indoor trainer app events and worthwhile announcements that you might not be aware of. And being Friday, I’ve got sorting and organizing to do. With a renewed focus on indoor training across the globe, many trainer apps are fast-forwarding features they had planned for later, offering promos, or doing various unique events to help folks pass the time.Īs required by internet law, Friday posts need to be quick and efficient.
