Btw, this is my longest (in terms of both distance and duration) ride on my exercise bike so far:

200W for almost six hours is pretty damn impressive. Your legs must look like tree trunks!

Thanks 😁

I’ve been on the exercise bike every day (with very few exceptions, such as the day before yesterday where I did this outdoor ride in stead), so I now have quite muscular legs and a resting heart rate of 55 down from somewhere in the 80s if not 90s before I started 😁

Sick power to maintain for that long, well done. Did you fuel any throughout the ride?

Btw, you might benefit from increasing your cadence a bit, bumping it up to about 90 is likely going to be beneficial

Thanks 🙂

And yeah, I ate some fruit, a couple slices of rugbrød, drank an isotonic drink, and gulped a shitload of water during breaks 😁

Actually, since I’m heavy but strong and the same goes for my legs, my current sweet spot is at a lower cadence with higher resistance heh. It’s one of the things I’m working on, though 🙂
