The Mountain Bike For This Ride
I rode a Trek Top Fuel 8 as a full suspension mountain bike for this ride equipped with a 4iiii Precision Pro left sided power meter on a Shimano SLX 11-speed group set. Cykelstrom collected cadence information from the power meter. Cykelstrom used a Wahoo Bluetooth speed sensor to collect speed information. A Polar H7 chest strap sensor collected heart rate information. The smartphone was a MotorolaG6 running Android Oreo and Cykelstrom version 1.36. All of the power meter and sensor data and was collected, saved locally and automatically uploaded to Strava with the Cykelstrom Bicycle Power Meter App.

Discussion of This Ride’s Results
The smallest margin of error occurred when an external speed and cadence sensors were used. This specific ride was a lot of stop and go riding while I was figuring out the layout of the trail system. There was never a long stretch of riding and the trail system is contained in a very small area. Most of the trail is mountain goat, hillside, ledge-type riding.
