Welcome to the Tue, 04/17/2012 – 06:00 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?
Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.
600 Watts for 17 minutes – yikes: http://app.strava.com/rides/6898912Type your comment here.

Says that he used a Garmin 800. Still, I agree that its a bit hard to believe: 845 watts for over 2.5 minutes. I remember reading that Backstadt once did 1,000 watts for over minute, but this seems superhuman to me.
Seatpost, you are right – its Strava make-believe. The thunderbolt symbol shows measure power.
no worries excitable.
