First fitness test

I was going to ride my first finess test on a trainer. It's an old cyclops fluid. Does it matter what type of trainer I use to conduct the test?

It better not! As long as you have the trainer profile for the trainer you're using, it's all up to you.

That's what I was thinking. Were do I find the profile for the type of training I have?

Assuming you have the trainer key and it's enabled, click on Device > Edit Trainer Settings.
There are four CycleOps: Fluid profiles, from there you're going to have to figure out which one to use. One thing for sure, once you pick one just stay with it. That said, if you've never used it before and don't know what to expect I think you would be better off finding a stretch of road to do the test on.

I think that I would like it to be as accurate as possible and the weather looks good today. Thanks for your help
