[Soarerv8]

Superb race. @AAAC 76C pushing crazy watts and still couldn't catch @Randyberlin ! Great sprint at the end between @BILL S and @Brusgaard that Bill just won Still no one got anywhere near @theboxers

Was quite funny watching that. You're pushing 150 watts and passing @AAAC 76C who's pushing 500+ watts. Gravity is crazy

erg experiment

Not that I'm going to do it myself, wouldn't catch me doing that but how can you cheat in ERG mode? If erg is set at say 500 shouldn't you need to be able to push that to keep the erg going? Or did your test show that downhill erg sits at 500 but you don't need to push too hard as the gradient allows easy pedalling?

 

[BILL S]

bill scrub that if it saves

ps edit i will save it to check my time in motion as i had a false start

You sure you want it scrubbed AAAC?

 

[AAAC 76C]

You sure you want it scrubbed AAAC?

yep

scrub it but i need to know my time in motion

ill explain later
not off the bike yet
need to get some time in

GET SOME IN!

 

[AAAC 76C]

it says 14 10 in motion and 14 12 main but i was on the line for more than 2 secs

 

[BILL S]

it says 14 10 in motion and 14 12 main but i was on the line for more than 2 secs

That's because 14 10 is the date AAAC not the time

How do you do it @theboxers ??
I have done it 3 times without getting near your time With my 96 kg and huge watt, this should be an easy win for me
My attempts :
346 watt 13:26 min
383 watt 13.18 min
464 watt 13.06 min

In ERG you don't need to push crazy RPM to hit power as BSim will put on resistance to make you work.
I hit the button once I was up to max chat off of the line at about 680 watts so whatever I did BSim was trying to make me hit 680 watts.
I managed to keep it there for 4 km then had to drop to 480.
I did a couple of wind ups from there to see if I could up my speed which had little impact as I couldn't hold it.
As I tired my cadence was dropping and I was actually changing down to keep my cadence up and even ended up in a 52/32 gear.
I had just past Randy at this point and was holding him off and even creeping up on Soarer but I was struggling with the gear so I needed to reset the ERG setting.
I forgot at this point that you could changed your ERG setting using BSim controls.
As I disengaged ERG my speed plummeted Randy shot by and I had to wind up to 400+ watts then re-engage.
I didn't make any headway on Randy from there on in.

That all said the idea of the experiment was to see if I could hit my sub 13 minute Bike Calculator time but it didn't work so I guess ERG Power does not generate the theoretical speeds going downhill just like is doesn't on the flat and climbs all be it it does add some speed..

Experiment was therefore a minor failure but a really heavy 15 minute workout, especially with no real warm up.
