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.

Today stuck on a plane back to the east coast after a great week of riding in Sonoma CA. Spending a couple hours on the KICKR tomorrow.
Hi,
I did some mountainbiking with my mates today…
Unfortunately, they are 30kg lighter than me… therefore I need to improve my performance to keep up with them next time ;-)
Just finished a 2.5 hr session last night where I got my cadence up to 174rpm in one of my high speed cadence drills. About to do a 150-200 TSS session today on the trainer and another one on Sunday.
Riding around the neighborhood with the kids, and the hopefully cranking out some intervals on the trainer after bedtime
sprints, sprints, and more sprints
followed by chocolate
Stupid cold weather has me on the trainer all weekend. At least I’ve got Zwift!
No plans at all. The temperature still around the zero!
Having crashed racing on Wednesday, and needing 7 stitches in my elbow, my weekend consists of wishing I was riding
Riding around in circles (criterium)
Training in rainy flanders with the buddies. There is only one thing I’m craving more than a bit of sun: a power meter :-)
Cheers,
Steven
It`s been crosscontry skiing the whole weekend. Friday it was 30km classic skiing, saturday it was 37km. Sunday the plan is to go 25km It`s beautiful at Sjusjoen, Norway :-)
Spending the weekend with my grandkids. They provide me with plenty of activity and no time to ride.
Did a 48k cross country ski race on Saturday and plan to test my new 27,5″+ hardtail on snowy conditions on Sunday
Taking the kids cycling in the forest. Lots of puddles to cycle through
90 minutes on the indoor trainer on the TT bike as racing next weekend and weather atrocious outside. ITU Abu Dhabi for company.
I’m chained to the books studying this weekend – no riding until next week!
The first bike of 2017 season. Spring!
I plan to ride easy for an hour to recover from a cold.
Shitty weather in Sweden right now – so just indoor Zwift-sessions this weekend!

Sunny ride today on my new Bianchi, a few new Strava PB’s. Life is good.
3hours with some low cadence intervals then a 30min run off the bike!
Rain is pouring so indoor it is. Power wheel is broken. Hopefully at some “stages” it will be fixed
My plans are to sit in front of my rollers and watch tv while the blizzard outside pushes spring back two weeks.
I haven’t won anything yet! I’m hoping the rain stops so I can head out on a ride.
Sadly I have to fix my bike this weekend. It’s been to cold and snowy here until just recently to ride, so it’s mostly been indoor treadmill for me. But with spring fast approaching, it’s time to get the bike back out. Sadly, my rear derailleur on my road bike is broken. So, my weekend cycling plans will be bike maintenance.
Cold front coming through Maryland so I’ve just been Zwifting this weekend after a 4mi run on Friday night. Weather is supposed to warm up a bit this week so I’ll be back to commuting to work on the 2-wheeler.
Zwift zwift zwift!!!!! All weekend!! Thanks for the chance on the power meter!
Chasing Zs to recover from a cold and hopefully be on the road next week.
3 hour ride on Saturday. 1 hour easy spin before a 2 hour run on Sunday.
I turned off my alarm and didn’t do the hill reps I had planned. Maybe a new power meter would give me the motivation!
Going to ski the whiteout conditions at Squaw this weekend and hopefully the powder that results all next week.
I’m going to ride on my favorite summer climb for the first time after my winter indoor exile, so it’s gonna be hard, but I’m looking forward to jumping on my bike!
Ride some MTB trails with friends.
Riding on Zwift as NH is freezing right now!
Fun mtb ride on sat, followed by another fun mtb ride on sun
Well I’ve got a slipped disk in my neck which is limiting my training. Running is currently banned, so there will be none of that. Swimming is being positively encouraged by my physio, however the permission to swim is one thing – doing it is another (My right arm doesn’t work). I’m also not to ride my bike in the real world, too much vibration apparently plus a crash could be catastrophic. Therefore my weekend plans are:-
1.5 hours on the turbo (TrainerRoad – Townsend) on Saturday plus an hour swimming in circles in the pool
4 hours on the turbo on Sunday (TrainerRoad – Vogelsang)
I’m looking forward to being better. I have another scan on Friday.
Rode lots of hills today in honour of the Strada Bianca. This was training for when i go with buddies to ride the real thing in June.
Train for the MS150
Fish shop ride, Bridgnorth loop and a criterium all finished off with a zwift race Sunday night. A good weekend of riding.
First spring bike ride since it’s going to be above 10 C. Thinking about 40-50 kms around town, nice hilly ride on a road with quite some elevation (500-600 meters). Waiting for it! :)
Just finished a 44 mile group ride, plan do a short recovery ride tomorrow and an hour sprint ride on Monday night.
3 Hours Endurance on Saturday! Follow it up with another 3 Hrs Monday!
