I lost this before when I didn't understand watts at all.

Rough guide:
100 watts == new rider, or tired rider
200 watts == average cyclists
450 watts == lance armstrong coasting

Example:
speed- default
cadence- 60
chainring- 30 to 52
cog- 12 to 23
altitude- 1.05
weight- 100 [illustration only.] 1 kilogram is 2.2 lbs
slope- .15 [guestimate of 15% slope, steep bike path ]
rest default

answer is 265 watts. right now even 200 is a struggle for me. But here you go, just keep trying other numbers until you find the level you want.

ENJOY
