A power meter has been the best investment I’ve ever made for my riding.
Not only can you train better when outside rather than using RPE I just love knowing exactly how hard I’ve worked on every ride.
It’s great getting Strava PBs but if they were achieved sheltering in a pace line or with a massive tailwind it doesn’t really mean I’m getting faster. With the power meter I can see if I’m getting faster even if I’m riding into the wind all day and my average speed tanks.
My friend got some bling wheels the same time I got my vector 3 pedals. We are both now 10% faster but I can still point to my POS wheels as to why I’m really fastest😜
