Discussion Of This Ride’s Results

The most accurate results for this ride were when the internal GPS Speed data and an external cadence sensor were used. Since this ride was on the road and there was not much coasting, you can also observe that if we had no additional sensors that the results were fairly close to the crank power meter with an offset of +5.17 Watts +/- 1.40 Watts. The use of a cadence sensor is recommended, however if you are the type of rider which pedals continuously and does not coast for very long, the power measurement results may be acceptable.

I haven't done this route in a while. App data was exceptional, so it was worth it.
