Strava isn't just for mere mortals anymore.

16,000 feet elevation at 23 mph. Unbelievable.

I'm thinking that calory estimate might be a bit on the low side.

[jon-nyc]

That’s like climbing Mt Rainier on your bike, starting at sea level. And then adding another 1500 ft for good measure.

And thendoing it 21 times in less than a month

[jon-nyc]

Look at the elevation analysis. The last 7-8 miles was a 5,000ft climb. After you’ve done 110mi.

You’re forgetting he weighs 90lbs and 70 of those are leg muscles.

[jon-nyc]

Oh, and he did it again and won the stage the following day.

And won the individual time trial today ... a completely different discipline

I believe they burn on average 6000 per stage, and 8000 on the mountain stages. That's almost as much as I eat per day over Christmas.

Fuck Strava.

[jon-nyc]

I read that he was clocking 7W/kg on that last climb. AFTER 110 mi in the fucking Alps at 24mph.

Alrighty then.

Cool stats, just... I hate the platform.

[jon-nyc]

Averaging almost 30mph on a century ride.

[taiwan_girl]

Wow!! That is fantastic!!! Good job!!!

[jon-nyc]

That’s not me, to be clear. That’s the current Tour de France champion on a random training ride.

No mortal is averaging 30mph on a century ride. None.

I mean, unless the whole fucking thing is downhill. A steep downhill.

[Doctor Phibes]

I struggle to average 30mph on my drive in to work

Ah okay! LOL. Still a good job however.

Back in my triathlon days, I remember I would get up to 35 mph on a downhill and it felt incredibly fast and dangerous.

Another great story from 89th!
