sup /n/, just wondering for those of you that actually take road cycling seriously enough to analyse statistics, what's your most impressive power output.
Now I don't have a powermeter bc I can't be fucked spending money on new cranks, but I use Strava's inbuilt power estimator.
This is my most impressive climb ever, it was like 3 days before a 2 day tour and I think I averaged 4.85w/kg over ~20 minutes.
Anyway, what kind of power can you guys hold, do you do train using power meters to maintain a stable cadence?
Basically I'm interested in what kinds of power people can maintain and their weights

I could maintain about 310 watts for 45 minutes for a few days in october, since then my form started to go downhill fast due to overtraining. I hope to peak again in summer because that week was great.
I dont weigh myself often, before I started riding I weighed 60kg, this summer I weighed 64kg. I am probably over 65kg now. I seem to get heavier quite fast since I started riding a year and a bit ago. Legs getting very big though, I guess its not in my genetics to be a lightweight rider.
Pic related is a short ride I did back then, unfortunately the power meter kept losing signal due to low batteries which reduced the average. You will just have to believe me when I say I kept it firmly around 310 watts the whole way.
I weigh 240 lbs and I can pull 250 watts on the stationary for an hour.
My 5-minute max Average Power is 356 Watts
My 60-minute maximum Normalized Power has been 292 Watts, I believe that I could get to between 290-300W for one-hour AP if I had nearby mountains to train on
VO2Max is about 71
60kg 5'9" KOManlets
Don't you need to pay to use the power function on Strava? I downloaded it ages ago but have yet to try it.
I'd love to try a power meter just out of curiosity (I don't ride competitively). I tried a spin bike at the gym that had a power meter and I peaked at about 1.7k for like 5-10 seconds but no idea how accurate that would be. Was just under 60kg at the time, now 68kg but haven't tried it again.
