After a few years away from consistent endurance road cycling, I am starting to see way too much focus on wattage. We got newbies asking if they need a powermeter, as if their bike wouldn't roll without it. Then we got the super analytical ones who disect their ride and categorize stress levels and all that.
You guys just need to get on the road, make yourself hurt (if you want to ride fast), and most of all just have fun.
I think it's insane that people feel they need to spend a grand on a cyclecomputer in order to train well these days. But you know what? It's not just the cycling world. The entire society is becoming way too dependent on technology, and succuming to marketing and commercialization.
My point is don't forget to have fun out there, and don't stare at that LCD screen too much, you might ride off the road.
