In this video, I take on the dreaded FTP Ramp Test on Zwift after months off the bike! After a long break from cycling, I’m finally back in the saddle and curious (and nervous) to see how much my fitness has dropped. Will it be a total disaster or not as bad as I think?

      Thanks for the kind words!!! It's looking like the streaming will be 6am-8.30am UK times so might be abit early for you if you're from Europe? I'm going to try and stream Monday to Friday then as I had a very poor week this week due to work and recovering from the flu bug I had.

    As you're going after the ones that are already in game, expect a few more to be added in November. I'm finding that the newer "Event Only" badges are somewhat harder to get because a route like Richmond Loop Around or Shisha Shakedown might only get used for an event twice in a month, and not necessarily at a convenient time for your time zone. I've got three more to get this weekend from the newly added ones and then I'll have them all once again (at least for a few weeks).

    • @WattCyclist

      Yeah I've seen there's going to be an expansion as part of the Tour of Watopia so I'm guessing a few routes will be released as part of that expansion, totally crossing my fingers they don't create a route to beat the PRL full 🤣🤣. The routes I plan on completing is the 159 ones that you earn a route badge for which aren't event only, plus the ones that get released as part of the expansion. That's some effort 👍 how did you find the PRL full?

    Can't wait to see you go trough the Ubern Pretzel and th PRL Full. Those will take you the better part of the day and require you to lay in bed the nex day in a state of mental exhaustion to the point you will dread the idea to sit your but on the saddle.

    If you want a green jersey, I would argue that you need to start your accellerations earlier. You were still accellerating after you started the sprint segment. At the start of the segment you should already be at your to velocity. Good luck with the hunt.

      Thanks for the comment and compliments..... Are you supposed to stay seated on it? I can't work out weather you are or aren't to get an accurate FTP.. your doing better than me, I don't think I'll be able to get up there staying seated at the moment 🤣

      @@WattCyclist agony, mate… but that’s the nature of any FTP test. My daughter said the veins were popping out my head, she thought I was going to pass out, so did I to be honest 😝 I’m currently base training for what will be my biggest challenge to date on the bike in March next year, the “real” training block starts in November so I’ll be [reluctantly] repeating the test to get my training zones. Tip for consistency, find an event you like the look of and commit to it, nothing too crazy to start but something that will challenge you enough that you’ll need to discipline to train for.

    • @WattCyclist
      @WattCyclist Місяць тому

      FTP tests are horrible that's why I always do the ramp test instead of the full ones 🤣 What is it your doing in March? My plan is to try to do as many of the routes at part of races or group rides so then there's people I can draft off and also it'll be faster pace.
