It probably isn't fair that you just had a 126 mile 10,000 feet warm up ride.

he can feel free and do the same Sunday morning

Nonsense Randy, that just goes to show that - unlike me - he has time to get some good training rides in. It's an advantage if anything

I'm tempted (about 50/50 at the moment) to do a double Alpe Du Zwift today at 100%. Never done that, so a challenge that needs to be done at some stage

I try to ride in New York today. I hope my legs have more energy than yesterday. Rolling roads in New York gives enough stimulation to my legs.

Go on. You'll enjoy the satisfaction of completing it that way, the riding not so much

Really enjoyed my IRL ride yesterday.

Why is it I can do 900W sprinting outside but struggle to get much above 700W indoors on the turbo?

Your powermeter/turbo trainer combo? You may see a difference when you get a smart trainer.

I use the same Powermeter inside and outside (P1 Pedals). I wonder if it is because I can throw the bike around outside and generate power from body/arms as well?

Have had a few things I needed to do today so won't get on now until later - probably not enough time now to do 2 climbs up Alpe. I'll go up once and then see how much time I have left after that.

Maybe, but I was thinking, outside you have wind drag, slight inclines etc, that will work against you and mean need to put out more power, but indoors these are all fixed on a dumb trainer.

That is what I was implying. It's almost like he's cheating with his 240 miles in Wales as a warm up.
