So many problems!
> I thought about Lou`s comments that you can`t tell how much
power you`re putting out without a power meter. But I had one before and
after a couple of rides you paid no attention to it. If you were a
racer in training I suppose it could be of some use, but I am not a
racer and if I were to develop 150 watts anymore I would be very
surprised. And using heart rate and timing a flat course you can tell your
conditions as close as I need.
I have no use for a power meter either, since I`m not training to race.
But ISTM that since you do a lot of climbing on the same routes, you can
compute your power output fairly easily. Pick a stretch of road with a
known constant slope and record your climbing speed in that section.
Using your total bike+rider weight and some elementary physics, it`s an
easy calculation.
Or for you, use one of the many bike speed calculator sites, similar to
this one:
