To all,
I just attempted going up the Alpe; however, not even before the first turn, my wattage dropped to less than 100. I stopped the bike and restarted, and my wattage came back up to 195 but after another minute, it dropped to less than 100. I was not altering my riding but i did shift down gears… Any issues…
Mike I have ridden it three times but no issues. However, I see the potential for issues with MPH if your watts per kilo is too low. I know anything under and up to about 1.5-2.0w/kg is ~3mph. That would take a long time to get to the top. I know even at 2.5-2.8 it takes close to an hour and a half. So anything else maybe its getting confused with how fast you are going or even if you are going but I’m not the expert.
I can say from experience that climbing the Alpe @ < 1.5 w/kg is not a problem. Us old fat guys need to get our climbing in too.
