I'm beginning to experiment a bit more while cycling and would like to learn more about wattage and what is normal, reasonable and should be expected.
I only cycle once a week on a real bike and generally go about 90k in total. I try to get into the mountains if possible. Other than that I use a stationary bike at the gym and cycle for 90 minutes every second day. On the real bike I tend to judge my ride by average speed and at the gym by calories. wattage it seems might be a better guide to my increasing/decreasing fitness.
I'm 43 and vary from about 86 to 88 kg and I'd say I'm pretty fit. I've only really started cycling again in the last year. What kind of wattage should I aim for?
I'm sure there are lots of variables but as a guide could I have some figures?
