Strategies for pacing with a power meter during a century ride



So, this whole "smart riding" thing is getting old. Seriously, if you're just using a power meter to play it safe, are you even pushing yourself? It's like those riders who cling to their watts like a security blanket. Where's the thrill in that? You’re out there for a century ride, not a leisurely stroll!

What about those moments when you just go for it? You know, when you throw caution to the wind and let the adrenaline take over? That’s where the real magic happens. Sure, you might blow up, but isn’t that part of the game? You learn, you grow, you get stronger.

So, tell me, when was the last time you threw your power meter out the window and just rode? Did it feel liberating? Or did you end up wishing you had kept an eye on those watts? I want to hear about your wildest rides, not your safe bets.
