When starting a ride, I would like to be able to point and click at the map and plonk myself at any point I choose to start my ride.
This would particularly help if I want to ride a lap of Richmond hard but want to warm up for 5-10 mins first; currently I can’t do that without riding a full lap first as you start right near the start of a lap.
Hey there Davis - I agree.
I have this idea that riders could choose to incorporate a 5 to 10 minute warm-up with a spindown calculation at the beginning of a ride, on a flat part of the course.
Then the “clock” would restart you at the start/finish line.
And at the end the rider could choose a warm-down of a specified length with a target wattage (maybe).
Maybe thumbs up my feature request.
Almost everyone starts at the ride on point. So on Richmond just look for any rider with about 12km in and join them if you want to do a 10min warmup.
Honestly, you have missed the entire point of this feature request.
@Eric, I did get the point of the request but you can’t expect the request to be implemented immediately.
sTTu Davis mentioned he can only do a full lap warm up, just trying to help him him with this work around so he and others can do a shorter warm up right away.
Fair enough JT - I think my point is ultimately to keep the momentum going on solid feature requests. There appears to be a lot of people requesting this “upgrade” with some really good ideas that should be implemented. I personally like the sideline velodrome idea, the team bus idea, and I like my own idea of a spindown being incorporated into a warm-up by using a setup interface that would give a rider a choice - 5 or 10 minute warmup with a spindown prior to hitting the course. Someone mentioned this as a “workout” choice which would be fine if it could pop you right at the start/finish line once completed for example.
TrainerRoad has a feature that allows you to hit the C button on your keyboard after the warmup (included on all workouts) which starts a spindown and then you continue with the workout - I think that is neat.
To your point - I think your suggestion is what many of us are doing and it is a hassle that could easily be “fixed”. So… that is why I stated what I did - I am sorry if it seemed rude or out of line. My apologies.
