It's all about HoP in 2011

I might see you wallies out. Regent's is my new home.

I'll be the one going backwards cursing the fact I have to stay at 80% of FTP and can't even pretend to chase you down.

I don't know what this means so I guess that proves you're a lot quicker than me at least!

FTP= full time power?

Fixed trial pace?

FIle transfer protocol

^ dork

Functional Threshold Power, basically the power you can ride at for an hour. 25mi TT pace.
Obviously 24hr is a bit longer than a 25 so training is at lower wattages. It's fucked.

<--- FTP=walking pace

400-450 Watts for an hour for FTP on a 25 mile TT?

all depends

all sounds a bit serious and considered, but will be good to see you out there. I imagine your 80% would be more than enough to do your bit on the front for the first few weeks...

Hippys 80% would be more than enough.. Remember Rapha gents TTT...

If I'd actually read the thread properly, I probably wouldn't have spent a big chunk of tonight wondering why I appeared to be the only fixed in the area! Though the small group I ended up with did include a guy on a single speed planet-x so not sure if that was someone that had made the same mistake!

That rapha group are err how shall I put this, interesting?

Interesting how? I'm yet to coincide with them, but I've heard a thing or two.
(and unless I can figure out what's making my commuter bike slow, I won't be doing it fixed next week :)

no your slow.

double time on the front for you then
(slacker)

Well bearing in mind I was in full lycra and going at a reasonable pace, I would have assumed that when they caught me, they might have shouted a warning. I wasn't expecting to be caught by a large group and clearly some of that group weren;t expecting to be passing someone.

Also marvelled at some moronic risk taking by some of the straglers to get back on when the group was at lights, undertaking a taxi indicating to turn left anyone?

That said, the group I ended up with, I think contained mainly dropped riders from there and they were cool, hand warnings when catching riders shouts if they were stopping etc...

<--- FTP=walking pace

I'm the antislain, I hate walking.

400-450 Watts for an hour for FTP on a 25 mile TT?

400W for an hour. I wish.

I want a powertap. why can't they be supercheaps? My experience on wattbikes tonight has got me curious about this whole watts/power thingummy.
