Bike Test

on the new Quarq

2x20'(2') going for highest average.
Average watts = 220

Pretty happy with that. My last test was 176, but that was on a different power meter. I'm sure some of that increase is due to differences in the power meters. But I am also sure I was able to focus longer and ride harder last night than during my first test.

On the last test, Jan 12th, I averaged 176, rode 184 for the first 20 and 176 for the second twenty. Last night, I rode 220 for the first twenty minutes and then averaged 226 for the second. So at the very least I have improved my pacing and sense of my fitness from a month ago.

I will do a 20 minute test (FTP should be about 93% of my 42 minute FTP) to see if those numbers jive. Then late next week I'll do the 42 minute test again. Hopefully all these new numbers will match up nice. That would go a long way in me trusting the new meter.
