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.

Doing a 30k tomorrow
It’s raining in Sydney. It was raining yesterday and it’ll be raining tomorrow. Time for some bike maintenance.
This weekend it is a case of waiting to find out the weather plans as Sydney has been drenched for days on end! If it’s dry, there is a crit this afternoon and a TT on sunday… fingers crossed
Hanging out with the devs, drinking bourbon
My cycling plans involve dropping my ride off at the shop for a major tune-up.
Some time on the trainer either Saturday or Sunday morning.
Still deciding between Zwift or a trail ride this afternoon as it is cold now. Hope to squeeze in 20 on the roads tomorrow.

21k run tommorow.
just 1h indoor cycling for regeneration on sunday (seems it will heavy raining here).
Not quite there yet; the Quebec temperature is not that friendly in early March

An hour of sweating out the toxins on the trainer the day after my brother’s wedding
Planning on a zwift ride on Saturday
Heading out for a 50km ride. Slower than I would like but I’m getting my mate into cycling so have to be patient and helpful!
Doing 2hrs. on the trainer..
Sunday is 2.5k 6-Paw run. ? My daughter and I with the 2 dogs (out of 120!) will make It as 12 Paws. Thus, the bike will remain on the wall this Weekend.

It’s going to be cold in Virginia this weekend. I plan to just ride about 50 miles on gravel roads on Saturday and 60 miles on W&OD trail on Sunday.
Recovery ride after a half-marathon Sunday.
TrainerRoad sessions on Friday and Sunday. Also plan to watch strade bianchi and pine for outside rides.
My cycling plans are just some cross training on Sunday, probably 45-60 minutes.
Plan on walking past my bike on my way out for a 13 mile run.
First ever 10 mile TT on Saturday then nice steady 80+ miles as part of build to doing tour of Flanders sportive on 1st April.
I will ride to the highest mountain of the Eifel. A classic route of mine with 90 km and 900 hm.
going to ride in 37 F tomorrow morning for a four hours or until I die.
I might skip cycling due to snow conditions but might do skiing instead.
Getting a smooth 3h ride into my legs tomorrow
Going skiing for the weekend. Cycling will be next week :-)
I will do 2 rides. 30 miles on Saturday and 40 miles on Sunday.
Clean the bike and admire it over a class or two of wine. That’s totally normal right?
I’ll be on Zwift, if my family lets me. :)
Nothing this weekend, recovering from a crash on some slippery I’ve last week :-(
No cycling this weekend. No running either, unless I feel exceptionally good. Recovering from a 100K ultra last weekend.
No cycling this weekend , just running ;)
I’ve been training for a half marathon so I haven’t ridden in over a month. Who knows, maybe I’ll get on the bike this weekend. I’ll probably end up running though.
uh oh. I have no cycling plans this weekend. 6 weeks out from the Boston marathon- so I’m only doing long runs this weekend. does that mean I’m not eligible?
10km running race on Saturday
50km slowly cycling on Sunday
A short ride in the nice phoenix weather.
120 mile taco ride.
Need this for my new bike!
2hr on the spin bike plus 1hr run. Plus daughters gymnastics compitition. Action packed!!
Plan on some indoor-cycling on sunday
My cycling plans are hopefully a trek out to Richmond park! As long as it’s not pouring with rain.
Working weekends right now so it looks like I’ll be zwifting for a bit longer.
Saturday I hope to ride to a Sugar Shack and eat delicious pancakes w freshly made maple syrup. Sunday is run day. Ouch!
Kickr! Intervals = weekend torture….
I will be watching Strade Bianche on TV while riding on my Smart Trainer.
A spin in the mountains!
60 miles cycling on Saturday, an 8-mile run on Sunday and a 2,000yd swim to cool down.
Albert Park parkrun in aan hour, and the corporate tri tomorrow!
Wishing I could ride but having to sit out another weekend and rest due to a mystery illness.
Saturday: kids birthday party then over to a friends house to meet their newborn.
Sunday: who knows, but I know it wont involve any workouts.
If I’m feeling adventurous I might actually take the bike off the wall it’s been on for the the last 9 months and ride it. But if I’m being honest with myself I’ll probably just end up on the stationary bike at the gym.
And comparing trainers .. that’s bike related right?
Snow and family mean no ride this weekend
70 degrees on Wednesday, 28 on Saturday. The east coast weather people are saints.
Running for race next weekend. Recovery ride on Sunday.
Just hoping to get some miles in. Its been a very unpleasant combination of cold and windy all week and should be in the 40s with wind only in the teens for the next couple of days.
Flight to Cape Town tomorrow then a few kms on the beachfront.
It’s gonna be -19 Celsius here. So it will be a lot of time of the kickr.
Recovery :)
A little Bit of cycling and hoping my knee gets better!
Few easy trainings after nasty flu.. With skies though because there is plenty of snow outside at the moment. I have planned to watch also Strade Bianche and Paris-Nice.
For Saturday I’m going for an hours worth of sweet pain with Trainerroad. After that, I’ll begin installation of the SRAM Red eTap Aero set which I received today. I guess Strade Bianche will be cutting me short on the installation, so part two will follow shortly on Sunday. After getting the TT bike ready, I’ll hop on my cyclocross for a couple of hours in the crisp winter air.
Just hope that wind/cold is down enough that I get out at all this weekend.
I will be doing an hard interval ride on the trainer on Saturday, and then an ez recovery ride in the afternoon on Sunday after a morning run.
I just installed speedplay pedals so I will be testing them out on the local flat roads!

Indoor cycling for me this weekend!
Wow!
My plan for tomorrow is to ride a simulation for the GFNY Uruguay. The race will happen in two weeks, it is time to check the legs. It will be a ride with 170 km, with good folks and my wife (tomorrow is her birthday, nice way to celebrate).
50km easy bike ride.
Have to work all weekend, but hope to get time at the gym on a spin bike until next weekend.
Long ride at half-ironman pace
Looked out of the window and it’s snowing. Hopefully will be dry so I can get a short ride in on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Trying to get back into it.
Eating donuts because it’s 18F with a wind chill of 15F in NYC.
Contemplating getting out on the road if the weather and children are compliant.
Was supposed to fat tire bike on Mt Washington but out do to injuries.
Totally dependent on the whether. Could be below zero, or could be plus 15.

Stuck in a pool coaching all weekend. No riding for me…
Short 2 h recovery ride on Saturday and 4×4 min on the trainer on Sunday.

Plan is to get a couple more ride in on Trainerroad, preparation for a 24 Hour race this July. Wish it wasn’t supposed to get cold so that I could head outside for some training.

Gym time for me!
Week 2 of my cycling clubs training program for newbies to train them up to a century this year. Tomorrow is a short ride and a flat tire clinic!
I hope to have warm enough weather to do a long (for me) ride outside!
I’ll put the computrainer (hopefully it’ll run for years and years without needing any service now that i see that racermate has decided to cease production) to good use judging by the weather forecast
Going for my 1st outside bike ride of the year!
