check calibration ride results

Post by flahutewannabe »

Hi John,

After getting out of trainer mode (earlier thread/help from you) I inadvertently triggered a new calibration ride trying to troubleshoot cadence readout on my Garmin. On the ride immediately following calibration it felt like the wind sensor may have been over-reading based on what I was seeing on the display vs how I felt. When I checked the post-ride file in Isaac the average wind speed looked high to me given what was reported on several weather sites for yesterday:
https://www.wunderground.com/history/da ... /2019-4-16
https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/@11395216/historic

I'd appreciate if you'd give the file a look and adjust as appropriate. Thanks.

All weather is local... :-)

The ride file shows strong headwinds, tail winds, and cross winds.

The weather data shows strong winds.

The elevation profile suggests an out and back route, so average wind speed should be about the same as average bike speed, which it is.

I think you're OK with this ride.
