Feature Request - Blind Ramp Test

TrainerRoad Software
2

I am an advocate for doing blind Ramp tests. That’s the only way I do them now.

In short:

  • It needs a smart-controlled trainer in ERG mode for best use.
    • You need a power target with dumb trainers and that defeats the purpose of the blind approach.
    • You might get better results by seeing just the line graph, but that may not work well. I can’t say as I’ve never tried, but may not be ideal.
  • I recommended covering everything except cadence.
    • Keep below too high of cadence and do your best to be smooth and consistent through the test. Eventually, you will get fatigued and cadence will tend to drop.
  • You can use various methods to hide the data (except cadence) from sticky notes and such. I do that and it works well.
