My turbo-trainer says I'm doing 100w easily when warming up, so I suspect there must be lots of losses in the system.
An inside source told me that in the beginning a lot of the cyclists had the resistance turned right down, so they were just cheerfully spinning along but not generating much power.
It got sorted out later on, but a lot of enthusiasm had been wasted by then, replaced by the sense of dread at having to go back to the bikes for another session of pedalling.0
