Chad,
Thanks I will try it when my next testing period comes around as I appear to get better results with 8 Minute Test vs the Ramp Test… Where I always feel that I bail early…
Of course, I will run a test it before the actual test 
Your advice is always appreciated and welcome… I still use something you said years ago
“…I just focus on maintaining my cadence not power or heartrate…” or words to that affect.
