Nike house? Haven't heard of that before. I'll have to look it up. Ta!<br /><br />Love the idea of Atlanta, GA, at altitide.

Just talking to Steve Small and he mentioned your bike which is in the pic. Mate you need a decent TT bike - you won't believe the difference - reckon there's plenty of minutes right there..<br /><br />And if you pimp it up with aero helmet and race wheels then you'll be truly golden. The money aspect is a downside though!<br /><br />All things considered I'd go for the power meter before the wheels - which is what I've done myself. I don't have wheels yet but reckon that's be sorted in the next couple months..Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029413747292078256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186022820544028599.post-49210460782653865702010-08-05T20:17:46.172+02:002010-08-05T20:17:46.172+02:00I am so HAPPY that you understand FTP.

I did read a great site http://www.flammerouge.je/content/3_factsheets/constant/functhresh.htm and have started doing the 2 x 20min at 85%FTP. Apparently that's all that is required to kick butt come race day. We'll see about that. I'll let you know how I get on with Watts. Bear in mind that all my tests on done on a turbo trainer as I don't yet have the gonads to buy a PowerTap/SRAM - so I think one of our tests aren't perfect as - all things constant - you'd kick my butt with one leg.RobbyRicchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17758097734532384339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186022820544028599.post-19985198296150454942010-08-05T20:17:35.014+02:002010-08-05T20:17:35.014+02:00I am so HAPPY that you understand FTP.

I think that would put us on the high school netball team. Prob goal defense rather than goal attack though.<br /><br />The really important stat is power to weight threshold - divide your FTP by your weight in kg.<br /><br />Some massive prop forward could no doubt mash a monster gear, but that doesn't mean he'll go faster than a lightie..Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029413747292078256noreply@blogger.com
