Bike Trainer Setup 

These sessions will require a trainer prepared for an unstructured riding mode. Fluid and other non-connected trainers  are already prepared for these sessions. Connected smart trainers will need to be placed into a compatible mode. We  have included instructions for some of the common smart trainers. We suggest you test this riding mode prior to joining  the first group session and let your coach know if you have any questions. There will not be time during the coached  session to troubleshoot.
