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.

Walking inside and waiting for the outside to get above freezing for a high.

Autumn has arrived Down Under so dusting off the home trainer and will give it a little spin.
Getting abused by TrainerRoad as usual.
I live in Finland and the weather forecast is minus 10 Celcius so no cycling outdoors. Instead a 2h indoor cycling with the triathlon team.

Looks like a trainer ride for me in the morning – not my favorite but also not the worst!
More training for upcoming 120 mile ride
Skiing!! Killington VT so pumped!
This weekend the highlight of training is the strange type of spinning activity called Blueberry Spinning. It starts at 8 o’clock CET in Sunday morning, at the same time as the cross country skiing competition Vasaloppet starts. And it ends when the first woman reaches the goal in the city of Mora. That’ll be around 12 o’clock. During the whole class the XC competition is showed on a big screen. The organizers are serving blueberry soup and bananas during the exercise.
Rediscovering my Blackspade tri-bike after too many months of gathering dust; a quick (or slow) jaunt around the extended neighbourhood will be good to reignite our love/hate relationship…
