There not kickr watts but real watts any FTP test is just

I like to say Kickr watts so that @bobinski doesn't have to correct me and he knows they are real watts and not Bkool watts

I quite liked the FTP test - painful and puke inducing, but kept me going hard for as long as possible and sets a benchmark for me to work from. When I got off the bike I certainly knew i'd done a hard session, that's for sure

Who, me?!?

At least you are not on a Tacx genius. Some poor user complaining elsewhere that he moved to a NEO and its clearly under reporting because his ftp dropped by nearly 80 watts. From Cat A down and down and he is not a happy bunny.

Everesting in general - going up and down the same hill over and over again - I just don't get at all. Virtual ones on Zwift even less so. I prefer the idea of epic rides that have some logic to the route like the Wales in a Day one though!

As for that Yorkshire Sportive - blimey! nearly 17 hours elapsed time! You're getting into the realm of extreme endurance riding there I think (well you probably are with the Welsh one too for the likes of me to be honest!)

My Marmot might be 10+hours

(Not taking anything away from that amazingly long/hard ride, but he was stationary for 10 hours so you could maybe argue that could be two separate - but epic - rides rather than one?)

I am up for it to be honest. It’s different. Rapha do a ride from London to Manchester, or vice versa on different years. And I was really tempted to do it. I got put off by the level of money you were obligated to raise, but it has got me thinking about doing something similar.

I'm seriously looking to do the Mallorca 312 next year ... Can't decide to Book now, with a 'event' company with guaranteed entry, or wait until October adn apply for a place then

 

[berty bassett]

we dont need to enter an organised one - just get together at one point and choose a point to ride to . if we could get a van driver all the better
could either be a massive loop or ride out to somewhere , hotel , ride,train or drive back
jobs a good un

So you guys are up for thinking about 200+ mile rides?
