Now I know that I am onoly making perhaps 100 watts, but I am continually passing groups or individuaols surprisingly fast. Equally Joe play racer
on a Trek or Specialized S-works will come flying by me so fast it is

sport rider is likely to he led to believe that he can estimate his power output by speed and is then upset that a power meter doesn't return his estimation.

Most folks will not be riding to bury themselves, and as such will pass folks, if your remotely pushing on, on the commute where I?m definitely
not, since I am a club rider and so on, I pass folks on a bike, even the illegal e bikes! Strava will give you an estimated weighted power, which claims 60/70ish for yourself and myself (for the commute) which is probably about right.
Fit or at least competitive folks doing the summer/winter loop in the club seem to average 180/220 ish with power meters, the strava estimates are within the same range for the folks who don?t bother with meters.
Can get pedal power meters which are dramatically cheaper if you want to
try them out. I believe like lots of metrics it?s useful for comparison
with your self less so to others.
I was only interested somewhat in order to watch the degradation of my fitness as I ride. But I'm not willing to pay the sort of money it costs to watch what will only be a reducing number. In general, I make no effort to pass people but I will try to drop them if I pass them to keep out of their way if I do pass people and their general response is to try and keep up. I don't particularly like people I don't know drafting me because I don't know their skill level. And I'd just as soon not be crashed by someone.On my ride yesterday, my heart rate monitor got a glich in it. It reaqd

Heart rate monitors seem to be slightly prone to such stuff plus you seem

243 bpm sounds like AFiB (Atrial fibrillation): <https://www.ama-assn.org/public-health/chronic-diseases/what-doctors-wish-patients-knew-about-atrial-fibrillation>
"Traditionally, werCOve always associated the left top chamber of the
heart as being the primary driver of atrial fibrillation, where the electrical signals get confused and chaotic. This causes the upper
chambers of the heart to beat at an astonishing rate of 300 to 400
beats per minute."
Every Friday, I walk or hike in one of the local parks, typically with
two friends. Both have AFiB. Both have Apple Watches to monitor
their heart rate and ECG (electrocardiogram). <https://support.apple.com/en-us/120278>
Because of the chaotic nature of their heartbeats, it is difficult to
tell that the heart is racing a high speed, especially while walking.
When the watch indicates >120 bpm, we stop until the heart slows down
to something approaching normal, which typically takes about five
minutes.
Tom, I would normally offer some free advice. However, you usually
reply with insults and ignore my advice. Therefore, you can work out
a solution by yourself.
Irrelevant drivel: I survived a PSMA-PET (prostate-specific membrane
antigen - positron emission tomography) scan on Tues: <https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/psma-pet-scan/about/pac-20582225>
Nothing found. Anyway, it was fun playing with my 1950's geiger
counter and watching the clicks go off scale. The fluorine-18 half
life is about 110 minutes, so the radiation was gone by this morning.

I have AFIB I guess all the time.
My crash might have been the issue but
I could have had it before then easily.
I have zero symptoms at all. I
don't have the traditional high heart rate. Mine after the crash was
around 60-90. That is high for me given my resting heart rate is about
45. I was not riding so my resting HR climbed a bit.
They did put me on Carvedilol and beta blocker 25mg I took it 12.5 twice
a day. Then after 2 months the cardiologist lowered it to 6.25 twice a
day. Now I have been back riding the past almost 10 weeks. My resting
heart rate is 45 again and sometimes sleeping it dips below 40 briefly.
I ask doc if I still have afib and he said yes he can tell just not
quite regular beat the EKG showed this the when I first went to him in >october. As I said I have zero symptoms
and on todays ride my HR max was
148. Here is the data from Garmin 945 and Power meter. The average HR
was 113 for the 33 mile ride. HR was 51 that is an important number. For
me though this was close to normal ride but I did finally hit 300 watts
on the power meter. That has been my biggest since the crash. The
highest I ever hit on it since I got it about 16 months ago has been
around 480.

It's been a long month for me after I promised my RN Daughter I
wouldn't ride gain until I saw a cardiologist. This morning my new cardiologist cleared me to ride as much as I wanted. She said my 40/50
mile bike rides without any problems served as a stress test, but she scheduled a coronary CT scan and an echocardiogram.
Of note: I had been taking a medication for many years to help me with

No though I believe nudging it into the normal range 120/80 is supposed to
be the upper end, would be generally better for the heart.

You have quite the imagination. After 40 years of racing and large group >rides, I can categorically state I've never run across your contrivance

Most folks will not be riding to bury themselves, and as such will pass
folks, if your remotely pushing on, on the commute where IrCOm definitely
not, since I am a club rider and so on, I pass folks on a bike, even the
illegal e bikes! Strava will give you an estimated weighted power, which

Can get pedal power meters which are dramatically cheaper if you want to
try them out. I believe like lots of metrics itrCOs useful for comparison
with your self less so to others.
The easiest thing for tommy to do would be to input the data to a power calculator with an estimation of wind speed and grade. Nah...too easy.
He'd rather bitch.

to struggle with technology so the options are fairly broad!
These types of spikes aren't uncommon. If there is in fact no underlying medical issue, things such as intermittent contact and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) can easily cause these issues.
Since tommy isn't working very hard (not sweating), intermittent contact
is probably the most likely since I know he's using a Garmin HRM Pro+ - these are remarkably immune to most types of EMI*. The intermittent
contact can show for example two beats when there should have been one - this wont necessarily translate into an exact 2x of the heart rate, it
would depend on home many times it happened within the sampling periods
of the HRM and head unit. Intermittent contact with a chest strap HRM is
a known problem when there is little moisture between the skin and strap contacts. It's clearly detailed in the HRM Pro+ user manual.
(https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-57B75051-8E96-44B8-A89E-470B3E3BCD32/EN-US/HRM-Pro_Plus_QSM_EN-US.pdf)
EMI shouldn't be discounted, but it isn't likely since since modern technology has evolved to show rather impressive immunity to external
EMI. The Garmin HRM Pro+ has to go though EU Radio Equipment Directive
(aka RED) compliance testing which includes standards of operation under radiated EMI (ETSI EN 301 489-17, since this is a device which operates under both Bluetooth and ANT+ protocols, see compliance statement here https://static.garmin.com/pumac/HRM-Pro_DoC-EU.pdf)
I also use an HRM Pro+, but one thing I just learned by RTFM is that
it's apparently susceptible enough to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) that they felt the need to mention it - suggesting a cotton wicking layer
instead of synthetics since cotton doesn't generate as much ESD as plastic-based clothing. However, this also becomes a non-issue when salt-laden moisture (sweat) coats the entire set-up.
*as tested by various FCC (Federal Communication Commission - US), ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute - European Union), and
ISED RSS (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Radio Standards Specifications - Canada) requirements.

You have quite the imagination. After 40 years of racing and large group
rides, I can categorically state I've never run across your contrivance

Re all this talk about fancy (and likely expensive) stuff for bikes I
have to admit that the only instrumentation I ever used was a mileage
meter (it counted wheel rotations) and a watch. which gave me the
distance I had ridden and the time it took me to do it. What else is reverent?
(Lets see... I had extra 100 ft force on the pedal but it took me an
extra hour for the ride) ( ; - 0)

Not intending to get into a full scale cardiac intro,
but "a-fib"'s key symptom (there are PLENTY of others)
is an irregular pulse rate. Oh, and with different
(term used loosely) "strength".
It dramatically increases your risk of a stroke, so
definitly needs to be evaluated.
There's a GREAT product out there called the "Kardia",
which is the size of a wafer. You stick fingers from
each hand on it, and it BlueTooths a basic displayof
a "lead II" ekg to your iPad, etc.
Cost is listed at $100, but frequently discounted to $75 or so.
Highly recommended, and in my specific case it
cleared up a medical mystery where... whenver
I was in the doctor's office every test was clean,
but I was able to reproduce the issue at home.
(yes, I have a passing familiarity with medical issues).

I have AFIB I guess all the time. My crash might have been the issue but
I could have had it before then easily. I have zero symptoms at all. I
don't have the traditional high heart rate. Mine after the crash was
around 60-90. That is high for me given my resting heart rate is about
45. I was not riding so my resting HR climbed a bit.
They did put me on Carvedilol and beta blocker 25mg I took it 12.5 twice
a day. Then after 2 months the cardiologist lowered it to 6.25 twice a
day. Now I have been back riding the past almost 10 weeks. My resting
heart rate is 45 again and sometimes sleeping it dips below 40 briefly.
I ask doc if I still have afib and he said yes he can tell just not
quite regular beat the EKG showed this the when I first went to him in october. As I said I have zero symptoms and on todays ride my HR max was
148. Here is the data from Garmin 945 and Power meter. The average HR
was 113 for the 33 mile ride. HR was 51 that is an important number. For
me though this was close to normal ride but I did finally hit 300 watts
on the power meter. That has been my biggest since the crash. The
highest I ever hit on it since I got it about 16 months ago has been
around 480.

Mark, you are on drugs. NO ONE can operate riding a bike with a heart rate of 90 unless they are a professional racer very well trained and on a total recovery ride in zone 1. My heart rate was very low for a long time (sitting and dozing it would dip down to 20) but as I got in shape again it came up to 75 bpm resting. The problem I have now is that my max heart rate is 140 bpm because of my age and going over that can cause another stroke Now my average heart rate riding in 120 or so.tOM, my average heart rate was 113 quite normal at 70% of max at least
I did a ride this morning and got two flats and turned back. I was pressing since the tire was worn out but my max heart rate was only 134 and average was only 115. Mind you, this was only 11 miles so if your heart rate won't go above 90 because of your medications, I suggest you keep your riding down to 10 miles a ride and no faster than 10-12 mph.
