You could work out your optimal cadence by going to the gym at the same time every second day for 6 weeks and, wearing a Polar heartrate transmitter, do a "cardio" workout on the same exercise bike each time, where the bike automatically varies the load to maintain your heartrate at a stable level below LT, say 155bpm, and on each visit you increase your cadence from 80 to 120rpm in increments of 5rpm, and then plot a graph of cadence against energy output (calories between time, say, 5 minutes and 20 minutes) to find your peak efficiency. But that gives you your optimal cadence only for 20 minutes of effort. If you wanted to know your OC for a 4 hour ride you'd need to extend the project. SJH <em>edited by arkle on 20/06/2010</em>

Hello, If I'm timing myself cycling around a circuit or up a hill, should I include the time spent when I stop to have a rest and a drink or do I only time myself when I'm moving? arkle <em>edited by arkle on 9/05/2010</em>
