Dunno if you’ve done this already, but set your power to view 10 second average. That makes holding power a bit smoother without constantly feeling the need to adjust. Though going over and under power is just one of the perks of riding outside were ERG mode doesn’t exist.
Thanks I’ll try that. I guess all the rides are different, but Goddard (not Carson, I got the name wrong) had quite a few 30s segments. Not only did I find I was chasing the 3s but the step summary screen in the garmin also obscured the power field on the edge 830 for the first few seconds of the segment. I’ve now swapped the target and actual power fields so the actual is nearer the top, hopefully that gets me past that issue.
