if you do, get a copy of the book ^



Basically I would not advise non racing cyclist to buy a power meter, cause its a waste of money if your don't intent on racing.

Training with a power meter is a can of worms if your don't know what your goal is.

You don't need a power meter to get fit, Just ride your bike in a gear that feels comfortable for you. No huffing and puffing.

Wanna get fit then ride your bike 5 to 6 times a week while increasing your time on the bike.

An easy one hour a day for 6 days gets you fit

Eg. Your one hour ride now may cover 14 miles but in a month of constant riding you can cover 18 to 22 miles

A Pro Tour de France cyclist , they train 4 to 6 hours a day and can cover over 120 miles . They do this 4 to 6 times a week.

Normal Trini road racing cyclist cover around 200 to 300 Miles a week . Strava has all this data, most will make a 30 to 60 mile per day and on weekend will cover 60 to 100 miles . Most don't use power meters

Very good advice zoomie.

I don't care about power. I just want to keep my training hours up and allow me the flexibility to put in some hours at night without worrying about getting run over on the sheit roads my side. My goal this year was to hit the 100 mile ride on any given Sunday but my training got slashed badly with lockdowns and work commitments. I've been averaging about 80-90k rides on Sundays with a couple centuries in between. I'm 60k shy of the 160k, my limitation is not muscle fatigue - I ride without padded shorts so my butt hurts by the 4th hour.

Plus I put on some weight again and my average speeds took a hit. building a training rig and going back to some old school cardio. 2021 we'll make the 100 mile ride.

You seem to be doing well on 80K rides .

Get some cycling shorts and keep riding .

Time is what that's counts on the bike not the miles .

As i said, e.g

A 4 hours ride may cover 80 Km but as long as you keep putting the hours constantly in 1 to 2 months your millage will grow and may cover 100 to 130KM

wow, on the odd occasions I ride inside the streets around my house, I do maybe 14 kms in the hour, including junction stops and u-turns
I'm seriously considering getting one of those stationary bike things so I can just put the bike in the porch and ride non-stop for an hour a few nights a week, instead of once or twice a month

@duane, if you doing the DIY/local build you can also get some silicon hose and wrap it around the part that holding the bike :)
Can either slip it on, or slit it, wrap and cable strap it.
