Wind way out
Posted: Sun Nov 10, 2013 12:06 pm
Hello
Would someone be able to look at the attached file and tell me why my wind measurements are way out? I think the power is inaccurate as a result. I'm sure I held a fairly consistent power over much of the ride as I was using the gears to keep effort as consistent as possible.
Here's my route :
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/402398631
The wind was South Easterly (so I had a tailwind for about the first 22Km and a headwind for the last 18Km or so) and I'd estimate about 20Km/h with some gusts.
Elevation and slope look OK. Drafting doesn't look too far out but I know I wasn't doing any for the first and last 12Km as I was riding alone.
TIA
Andrew
