  • I haven't used my turbo for two months. @hippy - do I need to do a ramp test, or shall I just halve my ftp and act like it's all fine

  • Same here, did a ramp test, was pleased to match where I left things off 2 months ago despite just actually enjoying riding bikes in the meantime

  • Sometimes I'll just resume where I was. But for two months off I'd knock some arbitrary amount off (like 20%) and start again with a ramp at your earliest convenience. If you notice it too easy or two hard it'll quickly become apparent if your FTP is off in either direction, assuming you're doing Base of some sort and not trying to do VO2s or some shite.

    I didn't use mine for about 10 weeks recently - did a ramp test and was surprised to find I'd only dropped four watts. It's good to know IMO, plus depending what software you're using (if any) the workouts should be matched to your FTP really.
