GC is Stacked
Damien Grauser’s latest patch will allow users to see data in a stacked view:
Stacked Ride Plot
I think this will be a huge hit when it makes 1.4.

LTM Now Over the Top
Look at this screenshot. Incredible
LTM Version 3
With this latest incarnation, you can create your own layouts and save them. It has preset layouts for different types of grouped metrics. All of which are customizable.
I’ve been playing with this for a bit and it’s like it’s own application.
Brilliant! Totally Brilliant !

Golden Embed supports Speed and Cadence
With the help of Jim Ley, I added support to for dual cadence/speed sensors to Golden Embed.
The firmware will log your cadence and speed and the parser will add speed, distance and cadence to the .gc file for when you import into Golden Cheetah.

LTM Updated
Mark Liversedge has updated LTM and posted a beta patch to the mailing list.
The biggest improvement from my perspective is the ability to see your various power ranges for a time period. For instance, this is a plot of all my 5 minute power from 2008. You can see there being an improvement from March until September when it drops off again. Of course I may not have been doing 5 minute efforts during that time where the watts are low, but this still tells you very well what you were doing for that time.
5 Minute Power Plot
As well for people who just like to see lines all over the place, you can select multiple metrics and have something looking like your 2yr old’s painting.

LTM in GC
Huge, huge feature for GC is in the works. This is Mark Liversedge’s take on LTM (Long Term Metrics). Something that I started a few years ago and I am sure now has ZERO resemblance of whatever I hacked up back then.
I think the screenshot speaks best for itself. Using a SQLITE DB, it crunches all your rides and stuffs them into a DB. From there, it will be possible to select a myriad of combinations of ways to see your data. Lots of new features in the works for this including:
Show critical powers on the plot
- Show time in zones (bottle of sand)
- Allow user to set bin width (years, months, weeks)
- Allow user to filter rides to plot
- Allow user to filter top 10s etc on plot
- Allow user to modify curve color, style, symbol
- Allow user to select date range on plot ala intervals
on the ride plot
- Define some preset plots e.g. Time/Distance, CPs over time
- Support multiplots to compare years or seasons etc
-Show critical powers on the plot
-Show time in zones (bottle of sand)
-Allow user to set bin width (years, months, weeks)
-Allow user to filter rides to plot- Allow user to filter top 10s etc on plot
-Allow user to modify curve color, style, symbol
-Allow user to select date range on plot ala intervals on the ride plot

Nice stuff Mark.

GC’s New Aerolab
Big, big buzz created by this last week. I can’t believe I forgot to post it.
Fellow Montrealer, and all around good guy Andy Froncioni has created a Virtual Wind Tunnel for all you TT and Tri Freaks. It created quite a stir on some mailing lists. It essentially allows you to determine which bike position is more Aero and thus saving you several thousands on wind tunnel testing. It’s still in Alpha stage but it appears to be working farily well at this point.
There is a possibility to merge what Andy has done with GE. Sparkfun makes a Package Tracker. This package tracker has all that GE has plus barometric sensor, temperature sensor. Two key ingredients for Aerolab.
Well done Andy. Another great feature for Golden Cheetah.

GE + Aerolab would be a cool project. I’m in!

Golden Embed Two Successful Runs
With some testing and lots and lots of debugging, I have been able to run two rides recording Heart Rate data and Power/Cadence data using Quarq Cinqos. All messages were logged and no errors that I can see of.
So for now, more testing is required but I’m fairly confident it’s working correctly.
Next goal for me is to find a bike mount for it. There are lots of options and the best ones appear to be a custom run of an enclosure.
Now I plan on actually leaving the house and get some fresh air !

Will the Ant+ stick read Powertap Ant+ data? Will Golden Cheetah read the data real-time like in your youtube videos for the Quark?

Can I use this to see my real-time Powertap data?
