What is an "official" CompuTrainer Indoor Time Trial Event?
The Official
CompuTrainer Time Trial is a 10 Kilometer race on rolling
terrain with grades to 3%. Riders race on their own bikes on eight
laboratory matched CompuTrainers. The riders feel exactly the same
loads they would feel on the road at the same speed, grade and gear.
Events are being held around the world under the auspices of the
Electronic Bike Racing Association (EBRA) division of RacerMate,
Inc., the Seattle manufacturer of the CompuTrainer
electronic bicycle trainer/simulator. Whether you're a rank beginner
or a seasoned racer you'll be matched with other riders of similar
ability to make it a fair competition. If you've never raced a bike,
this is a good opportunity to see what it's like. If you are a bike
racer it will be excellent indicator of your end-of-winter fitness
level.
In an indoor time trial the riders line up side by side facing a
large screen showing the course profile, each rider's position on
the course, and each rider's race data including distance, elapsed
time, and instantaneous/average/peak speed and power. (Click on
software screen below). At the end of the race the riders receive
printouts of the race data. After the race the results from all the
events will be merged and posted here on the "RacerMate On-line
Performance Ranking" site so that the participants will know where
they stand in the comparison to all the other racers.
RacerMate will continue to hold an indoor time trial every Tuesday
evening at their factory location during the winter
months -- when time permits. You can sign up for these events
below, or you can sign up for these by contacting the MultiRider
