If my FTP is 150, I'm 2.3 watts/kg and he's 2.7 right now. I'll see if I can hold his wheel on Thursday. He's a bit off, having lost maybe a month's training to his accident. He's the source of the PT hub. Last year, he dropped me easily. On a training ride a month ago I astonished everyone by soloing out in front with ease. OTOH, he's had a month of training since on one those fancy new trainers in his basement. It's been nice for me this year, not having PMR. On the 3rd hand, he couldn't go on last Sunday's training ride. Yeah, I know, big competitions among the geezer crowd. Sunday, I'll find out what my bib number is this year. Last year it was #10 out of 800, by age. Still having fun.
