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.

This weekend I have somewhat of quality/intensive session on Saturday, probably no more than an hour and on Sunday I have the long endurance session of the week, which probably will be done on the mountain bike!
Maybe a short mountain bike ride after a very bad cold.
more rain this weekend. more time on the trainer
My wife asked me to make her some raised garden beds this weekend, but I’ll do my best to squize in some intense intervals on the bike in the afternoons.
Going for a nice ride with my MTB.
This we…i am crossing my fingers!
In case it doesn´t rain 2 hours on Saturday and another 2 on Sunday.
I would love this for my training !
I’m hoping to get a three hour hilly ride in before the sun comes up on Sunday. I’m a vampire.
The last thralls of rain that have inundated California this winter are predicted for this weekend. Thus I believe I will go for a ride on Friday afternoon, probably 43 miles and then on Sunday depending on rain I’ll do 64 hilly miles. If too much rain than I’ll resort to the indoor trainer on Sunday :(.
An epic 60km MTB ride in the countryside! 🙂
Riding in the sun for at least a few hours! And a few hills 🙂
I’ll go for my first outside cycling run, around 60k. I hope….
I’ll be scrubbing in new Schwalbe Pro Ones on the local benchmark hill climb. A 20 minute job called Old La Honda. The area has been in tatters because of the extremely rainy winter, so I’ve mostly been using Zwift. Why new tires? This photo should explain it.
Just rollers for me (unless I can sneak out before the kids get up)…. ssshhh, don’t tell.
I’m from Poland. It’s a bit cold here (around 6 degree Celsius), but that won’t stop me to shut on a bike during this weekend and to roll around 70km on Saturday as a first spin after the winter break (and using stationery trainer). Sunday, on the other hand, will be my race time for 10km run event in Wrocław, Poland. Next week, I’m starting commuting to work with my bike 🙂
Regards
Jarek
Ride as far as I can but I’ll be able to go back 😉
Riding the trainer after the kids go to bed.
This weekend will be 90 mins on Saturday & to and from the pool on Sunday.
A total 32km commute to and from work. Forecast is half blizzard so it should be interesting
A small round with my little one in the kicki
Definitely plan on dealing with the rain and trying out my new shoes.
I hope I can open road bike season on Saturday.
Rain in the forecast so probably sticking to an hour or two on the trainer.
No cycling, but running the Napa Valley marathon this Sunday
It would be warm enough for the weekend ride into the big mountains with a short sleeve jersey.
First handling ride with the new tri bike. I’d love to get a power meter on the rig!
I have been sick for the last 2 weeks. Lost 5 pounds, so my power to weight ratio must be amazing, or not. Either way my weekend will consist of eating and resisting the urge to go for a ride while spring weather allures me.
Good cycling weather forcasted here. cycling every day
Wistfully watching bikes going by as I recover from an injury….
I’m doing some bikepacking this weekend!
it’s only going to be gym time in hotels as I’m on the road the whole weekend. 🙁
Saturday, easy day and Sunday Raceday ! Gonna be fun
Easy ride saturday and long with climb the day after.
A short ride to the new house we are moving into this weekend will be more than enough!

Long ride saturday and maybe a short recovery one sunday after the long run planned
I will climb TABAYESCO HILL. Epic Hill of IM Lanzarote
I’m heading out of town for an exhibition this weekend, so the closest I’ll get to biking is checking out the bike shops in Oulu for new, unaffordable wheels.

According to weather forecast, I’m doing an imperial century… with Zwift. Hopefully my second Tacx Flux won’t fail.
It’s Little League season so that’s eating up a lot of time. I hope to get a 90 minute ride in on Sunday with a few small climbs in the Santa Cruz mountains if the roads are still there.
Riding with the Triathlon team a rolling hills route at the center of Israel
Still recovering from a bad stomach ache so only 20-30km on flat terrain for me…

Out to watch my two daughters run in a Cross Country event on Saturday, then hopefully out for a long ride on Sunday morning or a session on Zwift to get the kegs moving again.

Trying to be in time in the pool to catch our peanut when she just jumps in on the deep side (knowing how to swim is completely optional in her mind :))

I’ll be cat or mouse or likely cheese in the cat&mouse race on Zwift on Saturday.
Friday probably 1hr on Zwift. May check out the volcano Kon.
Saturday will be a easy 2hr ride out on Yarra Bulivard working on my TT position.
Sunday will be a sleep in day
I’ll be doing yet some more indoor training, since all my tires are now squared off, polished and unrideable outside.
I will be happy to measure the power I’m developping during my 20’000 km a year on bike
Weather permitting, I will hit the fire trails in the closest national park
I will make a bigger round with my bike. But unfortunatly without my BePro (it’s in service) 🙁

After fixing some drywall from a roof vent leaking I’m going to hop on a group ride or two in Zwift. That is if the honey do list didn’t get larger
I will participate in two spin classes led by my partner on Sunday.
Well – Thank You for being so generous with both the wine and the crankset options..
I am going to have a 100k ride on saturday and I will probably go for my usual 60k ride on sunday. If weather will change, I will do a bit of sweet spot training indoors.

No cycling, but will work on my swimming skills! Cheers!
Bike is frozen solid in a pile of snow so I’ll be sitting on the sofa watching it melt and hoping I can take it for a ride soon!
will be racing a criterium on sunday.
The weather where I live absolutely rules out any outdoor cycling, and I don’t have an indoor trainer, so I’ll be running stairs instead.
Short cycling on Sunday as next week I have Barcelona marathon.
Sunday: 90min on rollers
Will be running 15 miles on Saturday, but gonna do an easy ride on Friday first.
I did my first 2000m climbing ride of the season in Tyrol. A power meter would definitely help to pace up those steep mountains 😉
hopefully first time to go out this year on the bike
I will ride from Cologne to my hometown Münster.
Friday evening, after the rest of the family has tucked in for the night, will be spent on the (dumb) trainer just in front of my TV running a workout on Zwift. Will try to squeeze in a training session on sunday evening/night as well. Cold weather (not expensive-carbon-bike-friendly) and a relatively new family member is setting the schedule for the time being…
A hot-tub at a ski resort after riding in the mountain of course 🙂
Doing a cycling class saturday morning, and probably a little bit of indoor cycling on sunday morning.
Doing a round island around Singapore 🙂
Joy ride with the kids . . . might push the 6 year old for 6-7 miles.
