Having been one of the home scene's best riders for several years, Ryan Sherlock stepped away from road racing a couple of seasons ago and opted to return to mountain biking.
He took on a number of major events abroad - including in Mongolia - but turned up on the domestic road scene again at the weekend and won Banbridge CC's Noel Teggart Memorial.
Sherlock got himself into the escape on what was a tough wet day for racing and then attacked those he was with approaching the finish; you can have a look at his data here.
Sherlock is 77kg and 1.86m in height.

When you ride with a power meter, you'll notice how your power jumps all over the place based on the terrain, grade, wind, and other factors. Weighted Average Power looks at all of this variation and provides an average power for your ride that is a better indicator of your effort than simply taking your average power. It is our best guess at your average power if you rode at the exact same wattage the entire ride.
Total work: 3,307kj
Total Work, expressed in kilojoules (kJ), is simply the sum of the watts generated during your ride. There is a close 1–to–1 ratio with 'total work' and 'calories expended' during a ride.
Training load: 208
Strava calculates 'training load' by comparing your power during your ride to your FTP and determining how much load you put on your body during the workout. Training load is a great way to determine how much rest you need after your workouts. A score of 125 or lower takes 24 hours to fully recover from. A score of 125-250 takes about 36 to 48 hours to recover from. A score of 250 to 400 takes at least three days to recover from and a score of 400+ takes at least five days to recover from.
Intensity: 81 per cent
Intensity is Strava’s way of showing how difficult a ride was as compared to a riders function threshold power (FTP). Strava looks at a rider’s weighted average power for the ride and compares it to their FTP. If riders’ weighted average power was 250W and FTP 300W, the intensity would 83%. It's very possible to have an intensity of over 100% if the ride was shorter than an hour. And endurance or recovery ride is 65% or lower. A moderate ride is 65% to 80%. A tempo ride is 80% to 95%. Time trial or race effort is 95% to 105% and short TT or race effort is any score above 105%.
