How to measure 1 -20 effort

[Machoman121]

What's the best way to measure my efforts up the 1 -20? I want to know my speed and time taken to go up 1-20. What do you guys use?

Strava is the best option, as it will automatically pick up the start and end of the segment.

Otherwise.... a stopwatch on a bike computer?

If you can still pedal when you get to the top, you haven't gone hard enough.

not something I specifically do but do use ridewithgps on an android smartphone to record activities, take pics, do diary stuff and noticed recently that some strava segments get automatically reported ( I don't use strava other than the heatmap for route planning) Not sure if comes up in free version (i pay for premium because of better route editing) - might be worth a try assuming have a smart phone and needs no button pressing at the time to see outcome




(for those with appendages to wave - no I wasn't walking!)

Strava segment integration with my Garmin Edge these days, but in the past any bike computer with a lap timer. Time between the speed limit sign at the bottom and the one at the top.

Ive only used Strava, its free and includes plenty of data for you consumption.

+1 for Strava, you can use the phone app or buy a bike computer. Just start it recording when you leave home and stop it when you get to your destination, it'll do the rest for you.

Interval button on the SRM head unit...
