The best route forward?
Hello,
I am totally new to spinning and I like to get some advice from you experinced bikers.
I recently bought a Body Bike Connect and a Garmin Heart Rate Monitor (strap). As I understand it theses devices works with ANT+, but when I try to connect my Samsung Tab s5e (that supports ANT+) no connection is established. However, when I install Zwift everything connects.
The thing is, I am not particularly interested in an app like Zwift or something similar, I just want to log the data, to capture it, to see my own progress.
As I understand it I can do one of the following:
1. Buy a Body Bike Performance Console and then export to Strava (or something similar)
2. Go for a subscription of Zwift or something and then export to Strava
3. Try to connect with a Garmin Fenix 5 or 6 and export to Strava.
I wouldn't mind getting the raw data into a spreadsheet in a smart way.
Maybe someone can help me?
Regards,
Euklides

Welcome to the forum
There have to be some android ant+ logging programs. If zwift can see it, any app can see it.
I pay for ride with gps, which would work. I don't know about trainingpeaks, people don't talk about that much as far as collecting data.
It looks like Golden Cheetah might work on android and should be able to log data.
