I don't really get the entire concept about worrying about what some guy sitting in his basement on a miscalibrated trainer or using weight from a miscalibrated weighing scale is doing. It's just not something worth getting twisted into a pretzel about. There is this thing called real life racing (and even then there are dopers, drafter, course cutters etc). I figure the only thing that matters is how I do relative to myself since I can't control who shows up and what they do.Because some folks really care about cheaters I suppose. And when there is real life $$$ at stake, imo, that has criminal implications as well.
OK I did not know there are $$$ at stake. Seems weird to even have $$$ at stake when the playing field is tough to level. In any case, I just ride by myself with virtual riders whose performance I already know and then I just compete with virtual people whose finish times are pre established. It is a function on rouvy that I find creates a semblance of pulling out my desire to compete without worrying about what I am competing against. I even put my old rides on the course and there is nothing worse than being beaten by your former self (even though eventually your former self is always more studly than your current self if you rewind enough years).
