>>1503217>>all that>...and that is reflectant on how an average person uses a bike just how? But even then.That's about what you expect from a MTB tour.
>Are you going to climb 20% ( lol, you ain't ) with a heavy backpack, then bomb down at 80km/h ( for a total of 1 minute, because that is how hills work )?It took almost an hour to descend as the mountain was nearly 3000 m high and I started from the beach.
The backpack wasn't exactly heavy, mostly just food, additional water, basic tools and a powerbank.
Anyway, I calculated the power requirement for a 20% incline at 80 km/h on the Kreuzotter calculator with their standard presets for MTB at 3000 m altitude, wich is 377 W.
That's not exactly something sustainable for non-professionals, much less for several hours or at that kind of altitude.
You only see that combination of sustained wattage and altitude in world hour record attempts.
