L/R power ratio

Rode the Cervelo gravel for the first time today and also used Garmin Rally XC pedals for the first time. Some interesting data points are available in garmin connect around left/right balance. Without actually averaging the data, just looking at that scatter plot over time, I'd say the average was about 70% to the left for all of today's ride. This is surprising as I'm very right side dominant.

1- does this matter in any way?
2- if so, is this something that can be evened out with cleat position or other adjustment?

[EDIT] tried unsuccessfully with various syntaxes to size the image down....what's the right format?

If you use xx<xxIMG SRC code with width= etc only ppl logged in will see it. [read that with out the xx's]

Send me an cropped cap and I can Host/Post if you can't. I did not look at link to extrapolate, that would be $425.00 min 1 hour fee. ;)

Also, turns out I am not very smart and did not caiibrate the power meter before using it. Today's ride was much more balanced after calibration.

As is always a good policy, please disregard what I said.

There's an unbalanced joke someplace I am thinking...

Unbalanced

I figured left-dominant reflected Rob’s political leanings. IIRC.

In general, yes. But I'm also a cranky old bastard and still believe in things like personal responsibility and that individual rights. I more call myself a centrist these days and refuse to align with any party.
