It’s March already. Which means that for many in the Northern Hemisphere you’re likely starting to increase the mileage and times of your workouts in preparation for the spring and summer ahead. As such, there’s likely no better time to up your training game with some new gadgets. Thus, I’m here to give you the power. Or rather, my partner in giveaway crime Clever Training is. I’m just like the guy calling you to tell you that you won the sweepstakes.
In any case….
As of a few weeks ago, Clever Training now stocks Stages power meters. So they’ll be giving the winner a free Stages power meter of their choice. As for the crank flavor: Carbon, aluminum, cookie-dough..whatever floats your boat…it’s yours. Hell – I’ll even say that you can pick up the entire crankset if you want. Hopefully, the CT folks won’t mind, because I’m writing this late and had a few too many glasses of wine to bother calling them. You can thank me later…or now.
How to enter:
Simply leave a short description of your cycling plans for the weekend (or, if you enter in on Monday, what you cycled over the weekend).
Note that if you partied in a hot-tub at a ski resort instead of cycling this weekend, that’s fully acceptable. I’m 100% on your side. Obviously though, simply detail that activity instead as your response.
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, March 6th, 2017 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly. One entry per person. The selected product/products will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming they’re in stock.

Going for a singletrack cruise around my local forest in Kenya.
No cycling for me this weekend, but a power meter would help.
Just skiën in the alps. On the bike again next week!
No cycling, still good conditions for alpine skiing.
Going to run run and run. Cycling season in Montreal is a few weeks off still…! But tri training has begun!
Bike is getting a tune and a 55k race is in the schedule. But once I’m done with this race, I’ll have much more time to ride which Im very excited for.
I’ll fully intend to go riding as usual, and then remember that I’ve got 2 kids that are up at 6am and a wife who needs a break.
-10C forecast for the weekend, so definitely a couple of indoor sessions are in order.
Saturday I have a 2.5 your ride and subday I fly to wonderful New Jersey!
Riding a sufferfest workout friday afternoon but too busy to get in any rides this weekend :-(

Thanks for the opportunity Ray,
My cycling plans for the weekend would be a leisure ride with the kids to go to the park on Saturday and an 1.5 hours ride on Beach Rd, Melbourne on Sunday..
I’ll be doing TrainerRoad sessions on Friday and Saturday, followed by a 50-mile group ride on Sunday.

Going cycling around the local hills with friends.
Not sure about any cycling – snow forecast for the weekend, in March, in Seattle! – but I might be buying a mountain bike. So I guess…cycling in a parking during for a test ride? Does that count?
A group ride in the rain, where we will go out too hard and return exhausted!

Still some indoor cycling with Zwift in Finland. Too cold outside…
I’ll be doing my first group ride this weekend.
Stuck on the training most likely :(
I’ll be trying out my Stac Zero indoor trainer which just arrived on Zwift, since the next wave of rain is forecast for already flooded California.
I am traveling (without my bike) this weekend so I will be running.
But I will be back on the bike on Monday ;)
1-2 hours on the trainer both days.
I’ll be off doing a 200k, hopefully without rain, but it’s looking like I’m foolishly optimistic. Oh well.
Looks like rain most of the weekend so a weekend of Trainer Road looks likely.
Saturday is a no go for me its gonna be below 20F, Sunday on the other hand will be a blistering 40F so I will be able to get in my favorite 30 mile quick weekend route. I’m hoping the weather finally warms up a bit more so I can get off the trainer and outside but thats part of the NY (state not city) life.
No cycling plans for the weekend! Back from a work trip and will go out with friends to play board games downtown!
If my legs recover from my runs I’ll take a 30 mile ride to Fantasy Island :)

Cycling between 2 rains
This weekend I will be riding a 30 miler as I start back from a lengthy off season.

Basic commutes plus hopefully a good 3-4 hours of training, still with the Wattbike, though. Can’t wait for the Spring to get here and get the outdoor riding started, hopefully equiped with a powermeter.
Having two small kids, i just hope to find a short time slot to do some kms on the bike.

Sill on the indoor trainer due to a storm coming in, for the next 4 days.
