During the race, horizontal rows of dots on the Workout Graph show the progress of each
racer. The first racer to join is at the top; your row is blinking. The race goal is at the far
right of the display. The level readout shows the distance to the leading competitor. If
you're ahead, the distance has a plus sign; if you're behind, it shows a minus sign. The
rest of the display is as described in "The Workout Display" in Chapter 3.
Solo Racing
In solo racing, you pedal a predetermined distance against a computerized pacer. You can see
both your progress and the pacer's during the workout. To start a solo race:
1. Get on the 700 series cycle and start pedaling to activate the console.
2. Press the
Advanced Options
key. If you press a key somewhere else on the console, an
arrow will point toward the program keys, instructing you to select one. Press
Advanced
Options
until the top display reads "Solo Race." Press
Enter
.
3. The display will show the default workout length. You can change this using the up and
down arrow keys, or use the keypad to type the number of minutes you want to work out.
You should enter a time that's long enough to reach the goal distance for your race, which
you'll set later. It's all right if the workout length is too long for the race, but it shouldn't be
too short. If you try to enter a time longer than the maximum for this 700 series cycle, it
won't accept your entry. Press
Enter
.
4. Select your goal distance for the race. Either type the number or use the arrow keys to
raise or lower the value shown. Press
Enter
.
5. Select a speed, in miles or kilometers per hours, for the pacer. Your progress will be
compared to the pacer's throughout the race. If you don't want a pacer, set the
pacer's speed to zero.
6. Press
Start
