As a non-drinker, it seemed like as good a way to start the year as any. How did yours go? My FTP came in 2 watts lower than the estimate I’d used to do SSB MV1 - so happy with that result and ready to take on MV2 with the revised number. Then start building it in February!

Post surgery I created a very detailed roadmap to get me back where I wanted, some of it was rooted in reality, and some of it was a bit fantastical. I labeled the fantastical stuff as my “stretch goals” and the rest as my actual targets. So far I’m within 5% of where I wanted to be, and I actually …

Anyone else do a January 1st Ramp Test?

I have it on my calendar, but I’m not sure I’ll get to it today with one last holiday family meal for new years day to get through.
