+1 Strava doesn't have a clue what power you are really putting out. You might be riding into a strong headwind, enjoying a wicked tailwind, or sitting in drafting a group doing 25+ doing very little work. A power meter will give you the true data and Strava can only estimate and can be way off depending on the variables.
