Maybe next week bro. How exactly does this work, just hop on the trainer for 20 minutes and hammer and get watts?
What's your goal bro? I'm hoping for 220?

vpower compatibility I think requires a trainer w/a known resistance curve. Or you easily could if you had a hub/wheel/crank/pedal based power meter otherwise
based on recommendations here I went with a $150 CL kurt kinetic and then added the ANT+ USB dongle for my labtop and then a speed/cadence sensor [ant+] for the bike, all in not much over $230 or something

I think some people do a ftp test on-bike if the winds are calm when using a on-bike powermeter. Figuring out how to do the warmup 'right' is the only challenging part.
of course if you have an actual race and record power you have a pretty darn good idea what your ftp is anyways if you just look at net output
If I had an on-bike power meter I'd be even more annoying to everyone

Looks like there's 1x20 or 2x8 options
I might do the latter given my lack of knowledge of proper effort level.
Are we reporting 20minute output or FTP (20 min X.95)?

exactly, like last time I got 290w, so it calls that 276 which I believe is the 1-hr FTP assumption from the shorter test
it goes like warmup, a 1x5 at your planned FTP, more warmup stuff, occasional 120% of planned FTP [2x1] more slower stuff, back and forth, and then 20m hammer time at your planned FTP
I plan on leaving a got damned disaster on these shoddy pine floorings here

TiL: monitoring objective performance based cycling data is 'retarded' yet running/training for ultras is not

You guys have gone full retard.
I feel like this is the road-bike equivalent of running a 5km on a treadmill
Stupid, but nice for getting a baseline

no lol but I might this summer. $20 says I dont come anywhere near/close to your speed and a further $20 says your wife easily has me covered too! Like my goals this summer for the 400/800/mile series are: 1:14/2:42/6:00 or whatever a 6:00/mi works out to going backwards
*searches for a track nearby*
I might commit for 2 weeks and then give up, like everything running related tho.

I'll probably join the cat5s up Hamilton this year
Also one of the reasons I started doing tris was to have actual TT bike splits, 2 more next month for this non-racer, adding to the 2 I've already done this year
