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.

Weekend training consists of whatever Coach Russo, #russoracing, orders, and always includes a workout at the lab! #ttbikefit
I’ll be hitting a 30mi ride x 5 mi run brick this weekend followed by a punishing indoor session from SufferFest.
Tapered for sunday’s Powerman Duathlon Asia Championship race!
Going to cruise the trails with my Flash.

Planning on a few hours outside despite a high temp of 36 degrees! I’m not very smart. ;-)
ZHR Great Watopian Mountain Goat Road Race for Saturday afternoon and then over to Box Hill (virtual!) for the Sunday leg turner. Spring is nearly here ;)
I’m hosting a gravel group ride Sunday!
Not riding until Monday. This weekend is all about skiing…maybe not hot tubs, but much skiing for sure.
Cycling – replacing my broken seatpost clamp whilst wishing I was in NYC so I could do another SoulCycle session. In the absence of that I’ll be running, trying to figure out why my trusted trainers are suddenly giving me a blister on the arch of each foot.
9 weeks out from 70.3 Busselton, long brick sat, 100k recovery ride Sunday
First Ride this year with my Road Bike – a nice sunny Session at the danube ??
Zwift Castelli Cat & Mouse race + Pretzel(s)

Due to parental commitments I’m forgoing the only sunny day this weekend and will be heading out in the p*****g rain on Sunday morning instead! 50 miles of rain soaked hills in the north of England… bliss
Today it was 8x4min intervals on indoor trainer :) still winter here at Finland
Puuuh….riding plans…..its running weekend (10km/37min is the plan) so only a nice round La Capella with my Crossbike :-)
50 – 60 road miles Saturday and 10-20 off-road miles on Sunday.
Looking and calculating to buy a new bike, a free Stages powermeter would be nice ? And after al the Numbers going on a LSD ride to think everyting over.
Aaaahhh bike plans for someone (yes me) who lives in temperamental Michigan; where it’s sunny & 70 one weekend and 22 with snow the following? Well, I can tell you that riding for 1 1/2 hours on the trainer while watching the series finale of Weeds is what is scheduled. But, that schedule may be edited. It’s my birthday. I don’t recover as quickly anymore. I may be taking a 2 hour nap instead ?
Early morning Saturday road ride putting my 74 year old father through his paces!! Glorious weather, good chat and great coffee to round it off – perfect!
Long ride on Saturday before supporting my friend at powerman malaysia asian championship on Sunday
Tapering for a mountain training camp in a week. Couple light spins on zwift and a 100k gravel Monday to ensure i get my smile on.
5 stages in the house and a 6th would put one on every bike. :-)
Preparing for a mtb race next week
Most likely an easy ride on the home trainer, due to a long period of downtime.
Family time weekend so that when my new bike arrives on Friday, I can justify being away all of next weekend breaking it in.
Will try to get rid of neverending flu on the trainer, Paris weather this weekend not pushing for any outdoor activity
Just an easy 3 hour spin.
It will be a workout on my hometrainer… No wind and a lot of heat
Saturday: 20k triathlon route practice with the wife.
Another ride by myself probably 20/30k.
Sunday ride with my mate 30/50k. Commute all week so love to ride the bike in anger at the weekend!
Did a 55 KM session on Zwift on Saturday morning working on my endurance and flying to the MS mothership on Sunday
Saturday 50 km after an interval track run, Sunday 100 km :)
Saturday is my long slow run day and Sunday is my off day, but I usually get an easy 60 minute recovery rise in after my run. With today’s temps here in Columbus, OH the ride will likely be in Zwift.
Starting up my brick sessions. 3hour bike, followed by a 5k run. In preparation for IM Maastricht. Would be great to add a power meter for training sessions!
Going out to hit a few Hills around Bogotá – Colombia!
Some laps in CP on a borrowed bike in the cold
Zone 2 rides all weekend. A new PM would be perfect for this!
Moving house is the focus this weekend. Hopefully I’ll reward myself with a casual ride on Sunday afternoon
Rolling out of bed right now to head out for a mountain bike ride in the beautiful Arizona weather. Too much work makes this my first ride in months…I’m really looking forward to it! :)
I’ll be trying Zwift’s new volcano climb. Too cold to ride outside!
My cycling plans dashed by subbing into a rowing crew for a race tomorrow!
Led a group trainer session to kick off the weekend followed by wigs and beer with good friends.
No cycling this weekend but ice skating on lake here in Finland
I’m going to be sitting at home with a freshly broken thumb. Hopefully that won’t stop me from setting up my trainer.
This weekend is a 2 hour bike training in Z2 and having no idea what wattage i am doing. A power meter would be so welcome to get more feel for mij training.
And after that a 1 :10 hour run in (you guessed it) Z2 …
This is an indoor training weekend. One and a half hour of sweat !
I had my bike at the office and did some easy spins while working the last couple of weeks, but now when spring approaches I just took the bike home again to prepare it for some intervals and soon to get it outside. So this weekend the plan is 8km of easy running, plus 4x4min intervals on the trainer. I might stick in some easy spinning on the bike in front of netflix too.
Replace a Saturday ride with a long bus ride to race venue(bike packed neatly in the cargo bay)….go all out for Sunday’s 10km run-60km bike-10km run! Friday B event for the season!
My plans you say? That would require a link to TP account lol! Anyway ride on Monday an hour and half, Bmx bike sprints Wednesday. Lifting and plyo sets in between. I race and coach Bmx riders all over the US! Go Big or Go Home!
Kyle Robinson

Zwift it is, it’s -13C today in Quebec. I’ll do a race both Saturday and Sunday.
Cycle around Cape Town Peninsula training for triathlon Champs in two weeks time.

Am adding mileage towards my 185 mile sponsored ride around london for cancer research. Am using a weekend away in Northumberland as a training camp and embrace those hills. Calfs will be screaming.

Riding MTB bikes for 2 hours on Sunday

50mi road bike in the sun with friends taking in the hills….
If the weather isn’t horrible I will be taking my bike out for the first time properly this year. I am still a bit of a newb, and just replaced my tires, chain, cassette, and adjusted my riding position so I hopefully will get less back ache when i start getting past 40 miles
This weekend I will likely try to complete 4 Zwift sessions to help increase my mileage in preparation for a South Carolina training camp on the 10th March. Hope my legs can handle a whole week of riding outside. Looking forward to testing them out.
We’ve swapped weather for February and march – it’s gonna be a bit nippy up here this weekend, around -15˚C before the windchill. So the bike is going to stay on the trainer for the time being.
Trainer road to hide from the rain, outside sunday for 3 hours
Busy weekend as usual. I am a spinning instructor. So bike to gym, indoor class, bike home then Mountain biking Saturday. Sunday hopefully will be road bike in the morning and spinning class after.
