Essentially this lumps together ALL your best ever rides over a given time period and shows your all your best performances as a single curve of ‘best watts held for each time duration’. One of the most useful analyses is the CP Plot – the Critical Power Plot. Even if it’s not for you to use 100% of the time it would be GREAT to use alongside Garmin Connect or SportTracks for times when you want to analyse YOU a bit more. It probably has too much for most of us to use as our standard tool but it has all that a super-keen data-monger would ever need. ie a lot of analysis (Did I say it was free □ ) Like all good cycling rules it will analyse it to the N+1th degree – where N is a very large number. Golden Cheetah is a highly detailed ( and free) piece of software to analyse your data to the Nth level of detail. ![]()
