so if I sign up, can I use it both with my CT and with my rollers and garmin? ie I already have a cheap windows machine for the CT but could imagine using this also with my rollers (and likely mac laptop as I will need to put rollers in hallway so I don't kill myself ) does signing up mean I can use your software on both computers???When you sign up, you can use our software on as many computers as you want (mac and pc). As long as you're the one using it we don't care about anything else.
Rollers are harder to get an accurate VirtualPower curve for. The rolling resistance is going to be affected by the weight of the rider + bike. We only have a few curves in for rollers at certain weight, and those are from people riding their rollers with an SRM and giving those curves.
You can't compare VirtualPower to other power meters directly because of the y-offset that's due to rolling resistance. You can read what I'm talking about here: http://blog.trainerroad.com/...-curve-virtualpower/
In your case, I would do the training on your CT, then do recovery rides on your rollers to change it up and make it easy on your mind. That CT is such a good tool for training.
