Cyclingpeaks question

[Jason]

A question for the guru's... Something I can't figure out why?

 

Why would it say that the duration, my ride time is 6h 39m 34 secs and then in brackets 9h 39m 34 secs? I first of all thought it was including the stop times but there is no ways I breaked for 3 hours! The ride had 2 punctures which is most probably a maximum of 10 minutes stopping and then we also stopped twice to top up our water bottles, I would say 10 maybe 15 minutes max... where or what time is this? I reset my computer before every ride so it's not another session its calculating. Anyone know why? 6h 39m is correct cause my polar recorded the same time.

 

 

Thanks

I also want to know the answer to Jason's question. Can't figure it out?! Exactly 3 hours ...

[Windbreaker]

Just checked my recent rides and the time in brackets is the time

including stops. Obviously yours can't be right. I always clear as I start

pedaling because in the past I've had some funnies with the time when

there has been a previous workout on the CPU.

Why is there no Work, TSS, NP and VI data?

Why is there no Work' date=' TSS, NP and VI data? [/quote']

 

No, that part is easy to understand!

Lemme guess - using it without the hub? Never done that myself.

Ah Windbreaker - my suggestion is way simpler ... I think he just edited it out, at the same time he lined his 'problem area' in red.

But lets take a guess .. think his TSS is around 400/420?

not sure about other power meters, but on the Ergomo you need to reset the trip before the ride or it can think you are on one very long ride with a big break.

 

Did you perhaps activate the power meter before or after the ride ? You should be able to see this on the chart of the ride- it will show you where CP thinks the break is.

 

Out of interest, pls post your power info!

6h39min!!!!  Are you bragging??????

[Minion]

It's exactly 3 hours difference (down to hundredths of a second).

This makes me think it must be something in the software/unit, rather than some kind of stationary or rest calculation.

It is very unlikely (but not impossible) to get that kind of exact figure in any physically measured value.

Jason,

 

In the CP file, what is the overall duration of the data? It is possible that you spun the wheel with the CPU on a few hours after your ride and there are a few samples in the file 3 hours later.

I edited it out , I'm currently as bruce would say using the k@k-O-meter, so I don't want to share how k@k I am with the rest of the world .

 I hacked the file... so Cruxie thinks I'm riding loooong but actually I'm playing XBox... Just don't tell him  besides if I wanted to brag I would of put in my power stats

[/quote'] bruce, I only mount my comp before I go ride and as soon as I get back I take the comp off and download the data... So no looong stops and the comp is only on the bike when I ride...

As you can see it's pretty spread out... apparently the breaks are longer than what Jason remembers... at 40 minutes he stopped at IanJ's house, but for no longer than 10 minutes... according to the file it's more like 30 minutes

[IanJ]

Damm, it's that time warp at my place again  .

 

But that doesn't explain the one at Magaliesburg .

 

[IanJ]

if it helps at all the time I recorded for the Magaliesburg stop was 10min 15s.

 

Yours seems to be over 30min, the actual time into the ride is correct as I have from my house so it seems that your device is incorrectly calculating stopped time.

[/quote'] Thanks IanJ.

This morning again... Rode for 2h 16m 10 secs on Polar, 2h 15m 57 secs on PT and then in brackets 2h 19m... Didn't stop at all so where the hell is the extra 3 minutes? I did stop for a wizz but that was a minute  and I stopped the Polar and the PT stops autmatic when I did this.
