Hi All,
I believe distance or time do not adequately quantify our volume. Work in KJ’s seems to approximate this better, and because bigger riders can push more watts, we need to normalize by weight.
So far 2024 for me = 255162 / 66 = 3866 Kj per kg of volume this year.
Alternatively, Total Hours - Coasting could be decent as well.
Using the Intervals kJ value I’m only at 2,494kJ/kg, aka I’m a lazy b’stard
Probably can be seen in the amount of time I’ve spent coasting 24hours and 24mins (a full day). Not all my bikes have PM’s or it would probably be more so its probably not apt for me to subtract it from the total ride time (636h43m).
I’ve been coasting for 42 hours so far this year so I reckon I’ll be at two whole days by the New Year. There’s a stat I’d never considered before! 471 hours total.
That’s actually crazy low. I’m a pretty low coaster and do a ton of indoor rides but still have 10hr of 520ish. I think 90% of mine probably came from 4 mountain rides though with descents, but too lazy to calculate that lol.
@HLaB and @Marcellus I think we need a “how much did you coast” in 2024 thread! I mean… who doesn’t love a sweet decent? If you ain’t shredding downhills what are you even doing this for?
Remarkable how little climbing you have where you are. Less than 20m per 10km. Our part of Sweden (not renowned for being mountainous) is about 110m/10km on mixed riding, and now that I’m focusing on gravel, it will be closer to 150m.
