Greetings folks... I start going to spinning classes since December in order to improve my endurance for enduro (motorcycle riding). After few months I said "What the hell....I should bike a road bike". So, a month ago, I bought my first road bike (radon R1 2014) for 300 usd and ended to pay 100 more USD to replace worn out component
I discovered strava and since I am a very competitive person I was amazed... I started to train harder and tried to do my best on my local segments... After 2 weeks 2 friends and my girlfriend bought their first roadies
Two weeks ago i`ve discovered Garmin edge devices that were showing you cadence, Vo2, HR and other info and I was amazed again..few hours later into the research discovered Strava Live... mind blowing

) Ordered one piece of Edge 510 from ebay...
I have signed up for my first sporive event that will start in two months
Now i`m in the market of a Turbo trainer so I can make my own training at home whenever I feel like and stop participate to those spinning classes. The owner of the GYM forbids anyone to use the spinners if they don't attend to the class (********** don`t understand why_ so I feel forced to buy a turbo trainer
I am also looking for a power meter but not sure that i should get one..
The question is... Am I on the good path? It seams i have made several investments while my bike is not that good but the thing is that I really don`t mind having a lesser bike.The bike has a aluminium frame with carbon fork, 105 groupset, Mavic aksium, Schwalbe Marathon tires and it weights around 9-9.5 kg. Only the tires weight 1kg (2.2 pounds). I feel that I have to improve myself in order to improve my bike but i don`t know if i`m right... Should i invest the money in the bike or should I buy a good trainer and maybe a power meter and start to train hard in order to get better?
