Is there a protocol to calibrate my Notio on outdoor velodrome?

Calibration on an outdoor velodrome is a big challenge. Especially because of environmental conditions. Yet, we have not determined a robust protocol for outdoor velodrome users. If you are a Notio user and you train on an outdoor velodrome, you will need both environments - conventional road and an outdoor velodrome - to calibrate your Notio and testing.

Calibrate your Notio
Before heading to your outdoor training velodrome, you will be required to complete an Aero Test consisting of a 6-kilometre round trip*. Once you have completed the Aero Test, you must enter your new calibration factor into the Notio app. Once this is done, you can proceed to the outdoor track of your choice to perform the aerodynamic tests.
