I finished the hour 40 or so seconds ahead. No problem making power. So I don't understand wtf is going on. Why is a group ride making it so difficult for me? I literally can't make enough power to stay on the front. It shows approx 4wpk but Im maxed out? There is a voice in my head screaming that there is Tomfoolery going on.
No idea but today we did 45 miles with 3000+ feet of climbing which was front loaded. They spanked me on the early steepish climbs but eventually I got my breathing sorted out and we stayed together and it was easy for me as long as it was flatish or downhill. I even dropped the e-bikes on the slight downhills.
I didn't even take a nap after the ride. Wanted to, though.
