I see. The variable is then speed. The 2 inclines will have varying speeds.
But, for a constant speed, each 1% of incline is a 10x increase in work.
But, if I plug in wild guess speed estimates, the data makes no sense
15mph at 0% = 100w
3mph at 10% = 100w
No way slow 10% is the same work at easy flat riding
