: Joe was mentioning that 200 watts should correlate with about 35 klm/hr according to computations on the analytic cycling.com web page. I haven’t had this experience, but Joe may not have used a height of 6'2" for frontal mass variable.
I don't really understand what this discussion about frontal area is all about. I don't really care if my trainer speed at a certain wattage is equal to the speed on the road. I only care that when I set my Tacx to 200 watts that I am really pushing 200 watts. I don't care what speed this is at. I only look at my Cadence, HR and Wattage. If the 200 Watts on my Tacx matches 200 watts on my Power-tap then I'm happy.
