Got a BikeErg back in August 2020 and doing regular long rides on it (about 275K per week)

Recent PB for 10K: 17m05s - around 1:42.5 pace at about 325 watts and 88rpm..

Recent PB for 100K: 3h15m49s - around 1.57 pace... this duration is really hard on the seat bones/muscles!

I have height on my side at 196cm!

Well done, John! Have you experimented properly with much lower drag / higher cadence? Those seem like crazy high drag factors to me.

50km PB for me! Although it's not an official ranking distance I did manage to do the last 40km a fraction quicker than my stand-alone 40km PB. And so I'm now due a new stand-alone 40km PB! Also, the last 20km is a fraction faster than my stand-alone 20km PB! Basically, a really great ride.

1:23:43.4 / 50000 / 1:40.4 / 83

17:00.9 / 10000 / 1:42.0 / 82
16:57.9 / 20000 / 1:41.7 / 82
16:52.7 / 30000 / 1:41.2 / 83
16:38.2 / 40000 / 1:39.8 / 84
16:13.7 / 50000 / 1:37.3 / 86

Drag 126!

Thank you, Casey. Very nice riding for you!
Yes, I've experimented, but too low of resistance with higher cadence hurts my knees.

Brand new bike erg delivered today and recorded 18.4 for 200 meters. ave 1.32.5 watts 445 rpm 138 df 38.
I have not got a clue how this compares other than what I have seen in the records section of concept website. Good fun tho.

That's an impressive RPM and such a low DF too for that speed.

Thanks John, I seen 591 watts @ 151rpm for the second 100 of that 200 as well. Just the starts seem to let me down. Nearly a 1.7 second difference between the first and second 100. Not sure if there is some secret to starting lol.
I am prob more suited to the 500 and 1 min for sprinting.

Well done on the PB but I've never seen anyone do remotely close to their best potential time on such a low drag factor. I'd imagine you're taking 60-70m just to get up to speed on such a low drag, hence why such a difference between the splits. Experiment with much higher drag and you can be at pace within 20-30m!

Casey,
That's 4k pace plus 11.8 seconds for 100km.
Almost 5 minutes off your previous best time. Well done!
