50 rpm was an unfortunate random selection. Is 25 rpm and 200 watts doable for the average fit cyclist? I think that it is.

regardless you are taking some random numbers I threw out and applying them to what Danni said. I understand cycling physiology and fitness as good as anyone else around here. That's nearly 100wats more than I can produce at my FTP so clearly that doesn't apply to me. I'm also a fair bit lighter than 165lbs (145-150 at race weight), but thats besides the point.

Also he never mentioned how long these climbs are.... If they are in the ~5min range than I think we can both agree its doable.
