In fairness, this was a Sweet Spot session, so it was pretty easy overall, but the RPE for each interval was more in line with what I'd expect.
ERG is definitely unnatural. It forces you to put out X watts, regardless of your gearing/cadence/wheel speed...or die trying. Incline mode puts the control in your hands...uhhh...legs.
