Too many watts with headwind?

Post by Aviador76 »

After my bike ride this morning, in the 34,5 km there was a turn in our direction and in the intensity wind.

Concretely we received headwind and cross wind, with slight slope descending, but analyzing the watts developed during that part of the route I think it gave an excessive value in relation to the power applied.

Am I right or was I actually developing more watts than I estimated?

I attach a couple of captures and the archive of today's output.

Thanks and best regards. Fran.

You've got enormous winds in this ride file. It is nearly impossible to tell if your unit is properly calibrated.

The area marked as "out and back" is not an out-and-back. I can tell because of the map trace.

Overall the wind information looks suspiciously "hot" but I really can't quantify this any better.

Thank you for your reply.

Maybe, as you say in your post, there were a lot of wind in may riding.

I haven't had any problem with my watts, only in this particular situation. So it could be something punctual.

Regards, Fran.
