Well done Brian and thanks again for the info...figured it was in the 180-200 average watt zone for 5 hours. I agree with the poster that said the average BF'er ain't gonna be able to do that. Doing it for 2-3 hours is one thing...riding that hard for 5 hours changes things a bit in my experience
Cheers.
