Dexter-morgan Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 this old time high speeds can make some nice Friday material - magnet / sensor speed vs. GPS speed...lol My GPS was off, my max speed was 78km/h(with speed/cadence sensor) and my buddie's max speed was only 76 with GPS on we were together all the way, he was actually quicker than me on the downhills.

JA-Q001 Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Damn, late to the speed and power stats! OK, so was in the VA break from start of M1 to Steyn City, I did not have enough legs or mind to hang on with the 3 winners, but they rode great! Finishing time: 2:22:53 Max Speed: 84.5 Ave Power: 304 (3.9)Max Power: 1224 (15.7)NP: 333 (4.27)20min Power: 311 (3.99)TSS: 252.8 Ave Cad: 87 Current weight: 78 Must say, 2 hours sleep and a 3 hour drive to the start did not help, my head was out of it at times. Video is currently busy uploading to YouTube Edit: Added W/kg for better comparison. Guys wanting to race should really use this as goal posts, we need more strong guys racing and this is why I share the info.

rvdm1 Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 My max was 79.5km/h, can't seem to get past that, got the same on last year's 947. As long as I can see what is going on in front of me i.e. good following distance, I am happy to go fast. Did hit a water bottle at around 40km/h on the M1 this year. Gave me a massive fright but was able to jump just enough to go over it.

That's quite a high Avg HR, Is this normal or were you going flat out?

Barend de Arend Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 Started in B, 2h39. No seeding due to some medical problems last year. Most of the way I wasn't in the red. I did help pull (because I wasn't in the red) 61kg, quarq power meter. avg. power: 177 watts, NP: 206avg hr: 152avg cadence: 87 max power: 795 (no breaks, no sprint)max hr: 170max cadence: 124 max 20min: 213 watts. Interestingly this was probably the race I was the least stressed in (mentally) in a long time. ahmedbadat and nonky 2
BouncingBrain Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 That's quite a high Avg HR, Is this normal or were you going flat out?I was going on the limit most of the way.. i should mention my age is 26.. So yeah mostly zone 4 all way, with not enough voomah to even kick at the end.
BouncingBrain Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 A buddy of mine, averaged 180bpm. More or less same stats as mine and same age.. But his HR is generally higher than mine on training..
ahmedbadat Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 interesting to note that the breakaways that lasted or got away from the groups happened from many different places and distances on the course, i always thought when the racing guys check the course out only 1 or 2 places would stand out as ideal to make your move and most would recognise those places. JA-Q001 said they broke away at the start of the M1, thats relatively flat and very far out.
