Roller/Turbo winter training @ Herne Hill

Good session but prefer the 'Live and unpluged' sessions

Agreed. I can't concentrate for 8 minutes at a time. Optional wattbikes next week. I predict 6pt to top the average watts chart.

got stuck at work.
:(

hopefully it's not raining tomorrow!

I'm thinking tactics here, will try to not be on the bike every day before hand so I actually have something in the legs...

Then we can watch the watt bike drain every watt you have out of your body..

But who will get the peak wattage title?

Or max cadance?

I'm curious to see what Matt/OSR puts out, and surely you've got cadence down?

I appear to be quite the dark horse these days...

Is this the final session tonight?

I think so - Wattbike funtimes! Got some spare non-cleated shoes and everything.

^failed at this, tried to have a gentle jaunt in regents park, but I always get competitive when someone overtakes me :(

Have a look at the wattbike rankings. Anyone aming for some records tonight?

You have confusingly linked to your own post there...

Hmmm unsure about coming tonight (again!) wattbikes or not :-s

opps - fixed

The one to beat - peak power = 1943 watts

He's a lot less powerful these days though, probably around the 800 watt area if he can manage to go flat out for 6 seconds

Got a 1265, JC got a 1278

11.54 for the 200 (I think)

^I got 11. mid something for the 200, but my power was way off. didn't even break 1000 (941). Would blame silly shoes as an excuse but JC was rocking a similar pair hassle free. hrumph.

Not everyone can get their "real" max out on wattbikes, the q-factor and crank length being different and in some cases a mental block which isn't there in a real bike.
You should also take into fact your weight, it's power to weight ratio that matters.

Tom's fat so that throws that theory out the window ;-)

Plus those wattbike rankings may have not been seated efforts. or maybe your's weren't ?

We were standing

How anyone could do an hour on a wattbike? record is 46782m!!!

200m was hard enough.

Would be grateful for a PM when this gets started again. Thanks!

Yeah, will this start again? When? I'm worried about extra winter kgs.
