Unfortunately, I don't plan on waiting for you like last year, when we did the same course together. It took us about an hour at 1.6 wkg back then.

Randy and I will be gearing up for a big azz Thanksgiving munch out after the ride, so hopefully we will both be putting along nicely.

Probably worse today. I did the 5 minute FPT as a base line and am only at 147 now. This recovery is going great. Beat my 8 week PT goals at 3 weeks. Soon back to mediocrity!

Tag along - if you can!
I see now, that you said KICKR BIKE. It is using elctromagnetism like the NEO, but how it handles downhill I have no idea!

@Brusgaard with BKool physics it is bleh as no coasting and higher power demand to keep speed up on DH. However, on platforms with more realistic physics engines it seems pretty good. Dying to try the new Garmin bike, but cost means I must wait till Santa or side hustle come through for me.

Okay, seems to behave somewhat like the NEO:

Read / watch the reviews of it - and you do not want it anymore!

The NEO 2t seems to be very close to reality. The same ride I’ve done in real life and then in Bkool match pretty closely. The old Bkool trainer was way too generous. On a ride in Wales the hills caught me way off guard. The Bkool trainer made me think 20% was doable.

Yes.

Getting back to the original question. Do you gain speed with more watts with it unplugged? I spin out with anything over -5%

I was doing over 100rpm plugged in and struggling to push 150 constantly. I'll try unplugged tonight.

I like to think so, but haven’t done any scientific evaluation.
I suppose your weight has something to say as well. We all remember @Goldwolfie outpacing us at much lower wkg on the downhill courses.

But Rod as a similar weight was managing 3/4w/kg downhill last week so maybe it's the trainer.

I noticed that before on his bigringvr rides. I can't output any watts. He does have the IMAX theater display so maybe I should ask my wife if we can build a special big room with a full wall display.
