Yeah saw that ride looked good, what % did the climbs reach?
I’ve not done any high end power work, been solely focusing on sweet spot, tempo and VO2 max on the trainer.
I’ve been doing long rides and am on a series of Audaxes and having goals on those to judge my training.
Also had a long weekend in Girona with some good climbing. Having a young family doesn’t make it easy but hopefully I’m on the right track, it’s a bit of an unknown.
Anyone with any advice or comments welcome...

I think I've actually not increased my FTP much if not lost some 20min and shorter duration power during the last 4 months because I had to do so much volume to prepare for peaks challenge falls creek. On the flip side I got much better at long rides, fat adapted and can torque my way up steep climbs for much much longer than before, but that's what volume climbing gets you I guess. FTP in the end is how well you perform in the given test format, and that's deffo not a long ass ride or the TCR or whatever.
