tbf, im not a slave to the stem staring, but pacing and recording some data may be useful especially as I seem to be putting out some reasonable numbers atm
@Smallfurry
Maybe i'll stick one or two days in for some serious number crunching :)

I Train to better enjoy my cycling travels.
My training partner goes on cycling travels to Train.
So I Guess it Depends which one you are.
But I'd still want the data for later. My shitty season which almost entirely Down to Gran Canaria. I did zero high intensity cycling over winter. Saw the sun for the first time in months. Got over excited. Then destroyed myself over the course of the week untill my TSB was below -100, and the tendons in my legs had started to tear. Shit like this needs logging. Not that I'll learn from it (I'm a pig headed twat).
Also. Some of the Climbs are pretty long. I find a Power meter handy to pace it. Even help remind you, you need to drink more etc.
Also, also. If you do hit 'valley of the tears' you'll definitely want a PM. I pushing 400+w trying not stop and topple over. Unfortunately thats not a Power Level I can hold. So topple I did.
The Climb from Puerto de Morgan to Pico de las neives is nearly 2000m, over 45km. It includes one of the nicest stretches of road I've ever climbed. The GC-605. A thin strip of silk like tarmac, that curls around the bright red rock face.

I assume by your question any riding you'll be doing will be purely for fun? If so, and you think having your PM fitted will make your rides less fun, fuck it off. Look up and enjoy, instead of at your stem.
