I dialled it up to 400W today ...
Forgive me BFers, for I have sinned... it's been 13 days since my last ride 
.
So, feeling decidedly like a blob ("Hey! I'm in shape. Round is a shape!"),
I got to work early and hit the bike in the gym. Just for fun, I decided to
"dial it up to 400W"
to see what it was all about -- it's pretty
damned hard... I certainly couldn't sustain it for more than a few seconds...
half a minute at the MOST.
And during this hour, I had to face the sad reality that my sustained output
(HR around 160'ish, cadence around 90rpm) was only around 110W
I have some work to do...
