My plan was to keep the watts below 320 on the gradual hills and below 350 on the steeper few like Palani. My power meter is in my bike box which is still coming Fed Ex - as soon as I get it, I'll post my watts for the first 56 miles. I glanced at my average watts (not normalized) while packing up my bike and they were 275 for the 112.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11483140817712812487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35474566.post-65431240097041872902009-10-16T23:41:32.589-04:002009-10-16T23:41:32.589-04:00How did you manage to keep your watts from spiking...How did you manage to keep your watts from spiking, with all the short hills, during the first few miles?
