Today, I got to see my starting point in terms of how much power I can produce during my bike ride. It sort of like how many light bulbs can I light up. So my average was 204 and my Functional Threshold Power was 193 based on my Age and Weight. Based on that I can light 3 light bulbs!
To get those numbers, I rode my bike around the loop at Hecksher State Park. It about a 4 mile loop which is fairly flat, however the wind coming off the bad can be very wild. And it was that day!
So the Power Meter that I opted for was the Stages Power Meter. The one that fit my bike was the FSA left side crank. It fit budget and I wanted to swap out my wheels at any time. The drawback is that I don't have numbers for each leg. Stages uses an average of the legs.
The great thing is that the Meter is compatible with my Garmin 910XT Training Watch.I am so excited to see how my perceived power compares to my actual power. Stay tune for those numbers to increase!
