Anthony, I lost 5 lbs since I first did that ... you're going down!
actually, aren't we technically in a tie according to your +/- rules? Though I want a clean win so I'm not invoking.
So that first page was the final standings? I think I only pushed the whole thing once, I usually just coast after the climb, but I think there is also a segment for the entire loop - stop sign at Amwell to stop sign, and I gave that a shot..
cogs don't play any role in that equation. And they probably have most accurate wattage because the numbers are from their power metershow does Strava estimate the watts? Either Utah or Norm are on 18T cassettes or they weigh 300 pounds...

I dont have a power meter but do have cadence so they probably do a calculation using cadence, weight and speedcogs don't play any role in that equation. And they probably have most accurate wattage because the numbers are from their power meters
prolly closer to 300 pounds than 18t cassetteEither Utah or Norm are on 18T cassettes or they weigh 300 pounds...
I bet they use horizontal and vertical speeds to calculate your work against air resistance and gravity. Cadence does not matter - you can produce the same power either with 60rpm or 110rpmI dont have a power meter but do have cadence so they probably do a calculation using cadence, weight and speed

What Alex Said....Me @Norm @pearl (anyone with the lightning bolt symbol next to the power number) were using actual power meters.cogs don't play any role in that equation. And they probably have most accurate wattage because the numbers are from their power meters

so why the big difference in numbers for you two vs @pearl and Mike? I know James is skinny and Mike not so tall, but were you and Norm really fat back then or just using smaller gearing?

FWIW, who cares? Norm and Utah are mashers and if I had to get, there avg cadence was probably 60. At that time, Mike was still mashing and if he did that climb today, he would be spinning much faster, same with me.so why the big difference in numbers for you two vs @pearl and Mike?

you might be taking for optimal cadence for you but that irrelevant to amount of work (and average power) required to move a body from point A to point B.I'm not sure about this. To travel the same distance, I think cadence does matter.
This is partially true....The powertap for example uses RPM and torque to compute the power...however...if my time is 10 min and my ave pwr is 374w...how I got to the top (high cadence or grinding) doesnt matter.....Power at the rear wheel is the same.Cadence does not matter
