Please rate my fitness level on this 30 mile ride
** edit, looks like TMI, so...
30 mile ride with wind @ 11mph (SSW), 19 mph gusts first few miles, then wind @ 24 mph (S), 34 mph gusts most of the rest of ride, 728 feet of climbing, almost 10 minutes of stop time due to traffic lights, wind stopped me dead in my tracks at times, descents were work against the wind, 17.3 mph average speed. |
changed to quick summary...

You've been on this forum for almost 8 years and haven't figured out this is a pointless question?
Slow learner, eh? |

The most commonly used metric for cycling performance is the Rhomberg Calculation. I ran your numbers through the model and your score was 563.28

If I get the chance, I'll be out there again trying to better the effort, sans wind. |

nah, I'm curious how other people deal with the wind and how their performance suffers in similar conditions.

You also have to factor in Mars' gravitational pull on your pedals which can adversely affect your cadence on partly cloudy days when Mars is at a 76.2 degree angle in the sky.

I don't see how anyone could provide any reasonable assesment of anything based on the information provided.

It gets really windy here, especially in the spring. I just tell myself --over and over-- if it was good enough for Eddy, it's good enough for me.

I would think that with such precise wind measurements, calculating your fitness level would be a walk in the park.
