I did do the calibration before i rode. Judging by my speed outside, placement in races, strava guesstimates, online calculators...i had sort of assumed i would end up somewhere around mid 200s. I'm going to try again today...but it looks like it will show something sub 200. We'll see...it is what it is. It's just surprising...I'm 190lbs, and atleast strong enough to finish my cross races mid pack. I wasnt expecti g an FTP of like 190 or something lol. Will check back later with the actual number.
