Calibration! Making sure it's all good

Hi. I'm new to powerpod. Have been using this amazing device for a feel weeks and have done de O/B calibration.
Do you mind checking if there is something "out off the pattern" with my ride file.
Thanks a lot.

I think you're fine, though there is a very interesting phenomenon going on.
On your loops you have two short speed dropouts, always at the same place, near the bottom of the loop.
Are you riding past any radio/TV towers?

Hi John, thanks for the answer.
Indeed, interesting and weird. These dropouts never caught my attention. Just to make sure we are on the same page, you are referring to the speed variation first noticed at approximately 0:37:56 (~ 14.5km), right?
This is a frequent training route for me and the phenomenon also seems to happen with other riders (checking through Strava).
It could be the slope of the terrain, but I can tell for sure.
Anyway, I'm attaching a new ride, different route, so you can check if, in general, everything is ok.
Thank you again. I really appreciate your help

If other riders are also seeing this, then likely there is some kind of radio interference going on. Likely there is a strong microwave signal, from something, interfering with the ANT+ signal.

It looks like you're riding in a lot of head/tail winds...if so, all is OK.

Hi John, what if I'm not riding in such windy conditions? Is there anything I need to do?
See this new ride file. Sorry to bother you.
Thanks.
