Razors Edge ★ Posted April 23, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 23, 2018 ...when I thought about the fact that I spent 18 minutes watching a guy ride a bike up some random hill. Crazy. I love his various video, but I might have some un-diagnosed psychological issues Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted April 24, 2018 Share #2 Posted April 24, 2018 17mph up a 7% hill with a heart rate of 160. Yeah, not a chance I can do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was riding up a 7% hill on Sunday at 10mph and dropping. I cannot imagine doing his sort of pace, but watching his power numbers, you can see how he does it (but now how he is able to generate that power). I actually was mesmerized Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that is sick and twisted. I could do maybe 12 mph up a grade like that with a 160 heart rate if I was in fantastic shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my hill ride last weekend. I am not bragging, and I am not strong. On some of the harder hills, I was doing around 400 for the hill. They were usually really steep, but really short. I can only maintain 400 for 3 or 4 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably better than me Three to four minutes at 400 watts would be nice. He is also lighter than me, so his power-weight is much more impressive than that 400+ shows. It is easy to see why he does well on climbs. Of course, he doesn't always set the KOM, so there are more than a few folks like him out there.

OK, today I felt just OK on the hill ride. One of the short but really steep hill I tried to pay attention to the numbers. It was 1 minute at 350ish watts. I could have held that for 3 to 4 minutes, but the hill ended. I could not have done 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
