@T_Field, that’s awesome. Where in Oregon were you living? I actually moved to Portland, Oregon in 1999, and I lived there until 2014. I moved to NYC for a job/career choice, and I miss living in Portland. 
I have been thinking about moving to Norcal recently as well. That’s crazy that you were a state hillclimb champion in Oregon! :star-struck:
@iamholland Thanks for pointing out about the typo in the title. I think someone edited it for me before I got to it. 
@Berggeiss, I agree with you. The numbers are relative, and you are right about the consistent. I think the trainer is precise, and I think I will keep training by following the program. It is just nice to be able to race with other people at this time.
One thing I noticed tho. Again, this is a relative number, but I was looking at the “Freshness and Fitness graph” in Strava, and I was comparing this year’s effort and last year. I wanted to come back to the peak time the previous year, and it was going up, but slower. After the reset, I haven’t really changed anything, but I supposed the power reading is higher, so it seems that the ratio of the curve is higher than one before the factory reset.
Since I don’t have a power meter and the data for last year is all from outside, I think estimated power is used. Anyways, the increase in the ratio seems to match with the previous year’s data. For example, the rate of increase in a race day last year appears to match with a similar effort in Zwift rides. Before the reset, I did a century ride on Zwift, and that barely raised the Fitness level number.
