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.

First race of the year on Saturday – 25 mile 2up TT
? I don’t ride
Finally getting a chance to ride outside, bye bye trainer
If the rain isn’t too bad in the UK, getting out for a 50k ride..but more importantly choosing my next bike!
Not much cycling yet – still a bit too chilly despite a few days which have been above 10c. I am making homemade wings for he first time though.
Put my bike back together and check it all works ahead of my commuting next week.
Easy bike, tappering for race next weekend
This would go great with the road bike I would then have to buy. My cycling looks a lot like marathon running.
Cycle in snowy forest…
FTP test on the trainer on Saturday, always fun..!
I am flying to Dubai on Saturday for work, and I intend to rent a bike and try the awesome bike tracks they have there.
warm enough for first 2h ride this year, no spinning this time!
There’s supposed to be great weather on the weekend, so planning on doing my first big outdoor ride of the year. Fun!
This weekend will be a beautiful blend of a 3hr steady trail run on Saturday nice and early, and then Sunday will be a steady ride outside if the weather is nice (or on Zwift if less nice).
Combine that with some nice food, drink and family time and it should be a good weekend.
I am going to pick up the bike and ride 100km near Zaragoza, Spain. Just for fun.
I’ll be skiing in Andorra during this weekend. That power meter would be fantastic to help prepare myself for Spring/Summer rides!!!!
I commute to work during the week. This week-end I plan to do more structured workout to increase my leg cadence !
Having some sweetspot time in the pain cave all weekend!
Most likely my cycling will be very limited, if any at all, during the weekend. However I have completed a week of commuting to work making a total of 128 kilometers.
I´ll start with the first training sessions for the Münsterland Giro in October
Weather not looking so good so… indoor session on Saturday morning while the mountains get a fresh coating of snow, and riding fresh powder on snowboard on Sunday 🙂
No cycling this weekend, but only running with power.
Working this weekend but hoping for a bit of Zwift on Sunday night.
none, swimming and running instead this weekend
On Sunday I will have 3:10h cycling with some hard work.) #roadtokona
Last nights downfall of wet snow has put a bit of a dent i my cycling plans for this weekend. But I Guess I’ll hit the roller in the basement for a couple of hours. – Cheers.
With the current weather forecast most probably indoor cycling on both days 🙁
A short ride with family
Getting in sone mountain biking at Indianapolis Southwestway.
On ride outdoors on the MTB.
One ride indoors on the rollers.
Hu, if the weather is with me on saturday, i will introduce a friend of mine to the joy of roadcycling 😉
90 minutes with Trainerroad on Sunday and some LSD-running on Saturday.
I will probably go for some easy miles on saturday ( weather permitting) as I have a 10k race on sunday morning!
My training plan says it is easy week, so 90 minutes of aerobic endurance riding with Trainer Road. FTP test is coming next, fun times.
Anyway, the weather will be nice enough to ride outdoors soon.
Probably indoor cycling on Zwift given rain forecast.
I’ll be spending time on the turbo since the forecast tells rain, rain, rain…
I’m Trainerroading the F~@k out of my Tacx Neo – Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Just an easy spin on Zwift for me tonight, currently running 100 mile weeks training for a marathon so that is taking up most of my time!
I’m going on a group ride around Rigi Mountain in Switzerland. Should be fun.
Mostly likely no cycling at all as there is suppose to be heavy rain all weekend and I’m no very keen on jumping on the turbo.
Running instead of cycling, there’s too much wind.
Since I haven’t run for like ever, it’s probably gonna be quite a short workout on saturday … and if I’m motivated enough, another one sunday.
Hopefully the wetter will allow it to ride my road bike for the first time in 2017, leaving the cross bike in the garage :-). My plan is to ride 2 hours on Saturday and have a long run on Sunday Morning from 6.00 – 8.00
Given the incessant rain due this weekend I think the road bike can stay garaged and I’ll hit some muddy trails for a change.
MTB, I expect the paths to be icy and fast. Sadly no hot-tub parties planned.
More or less 50 miles on Sunday with a short run afterward.
My girl friend just bought herself a nice cyclocross bike so we are going to ride side by side on a casual pace through the pre-spring landscape. 🙂
TrainerRoad on my Tacx Neo in the garage – workouts Clark and Hunter. Whee!
My plan was to do a 4h Vasaspinning which is semi-traditional in Sweden where we go to a gym and participate in a spin class that lasts for approximately 4h while at the same time watching Vasaloppet a 90km cross country ski race which is also the world’s largest cross country ski race. But now I have a cold 🙁
With the rain outside, i will be doing some Trainer rides.
I have a 70km ride on the plan, but weather looks horrible, so it will be a zwift ride most likely!
Weather forecast is 15C for tomorrow.
I’ll be hitting up the local Whitestone Pass, then exploring to see how much of the ice has melted on the Green Line.

I am going to party in a hot-tub at a ski resort instead of cycling this weekend.
Now seriously, that is exactly what I am going to do since we have rented a chalet for 14 people in the French Alps for a week beginning tomorrow. And it has a hot-tube indeed!!! :):):)
After 2.5 months of Zwifting I plan a longish IRL ride in the Pilis mountain range.
A long ride on the trainer or if the weather is good (and hopefully it is), then I will go outside.
Trainer road: Mary Austin on Saturday followed by a trip to the velodrome to take in some track action. Sunday is Whiteside -1, then heading to LBS to have my newly built 88mm front wheel trued. And there will be some ice cream consumption sometime this weekend as well.
