Alternatively, you can complete the remote challenge on an indoor bike that can project cadence and power (same applies for the indoor trainer). Examples include Wattbike Atom, Wattbike Nucleus, Wattbike Trainer/Pro and Wahoo Indoor bike, etc. A Peloton Indoor bike will not work as their data is protected unless you put power pedals on their indoor bike.

Our Le Petite Tour de Njinga challenge is suitable for riders of all levels as you will be riding to your own training zones in the sessions.
We use training software that allows you to monitor your real time power or power to weight data during any timed intervals within a training session. This enables you to accurately track your progress by setting precise benchmarks to maintain and improve upon.
The immersive replay sessions allow you to complete your sessions at a time that suits you. Your LIVE rider stats will slot into the immersive leaderboard as if you are doing the session live with other riders. This allows you to still be able to "ride against" other riders in a group on the challenge, giving you the motivation to stay focused and working hard while being pushed by others.
