Newbie & question

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Greetings,
Just joined the forum after looking for ages for info on power training and I must say there's a wealth of valuble stuff on here.
My question is: can I train with power using my Cateye cyclosimulator and if so what would the protocol be for any pre training tests?
Any info would be appreciated as I can't splash out on a new power tap set up!
Yours in speed,
VMax

Testing protocols should be addressed in a few of the links from the above link. I haven't used the Cateye but it's not known for it's accuracy. Perhaps newer models of the trainer have improved.
