I'm posting this retrospectively, after my glorious victory in the BT Cycle Challenge. On Friday 13th June, as a kind of prologue to Bike Week, Edinburgh Park (where I work) ran a Bike Breakfast event where commuters were invited to "race" Chris Hoy on what I now know is a WattBike. In fact they were measuring peak power, and Chris laid down the gauntlet with a burst of around 1600W. My turn came and I was the first of the commuters to break the 1000W barrier with a reading of 1098W, and by the end of the event I was unbeaten by anyone but Chris! No prize for this one, it was just a bit of fun, but a useful warm-up to the real race in the weeks to come...
