I had the opportunity to ride some 7% hills and expected to post some bigger wattages.
My averages were similar to what I do on the relatively flat roads around home.
My times at level 4 and above weren't much different either.
The only difference, my average cadence was down from 85+ to 75 during about 2 hours of riding.
I didn't feel really fresh but I drove to the hills so I rode.
My question...Is there a difference in training benefit or are watts just watts?
