My best 1 hour power was dong a few longer threshold efforts with z3 recovery with the odd intersection and hold up or two. The one time I did a 40k TT I hadn't ridden my TT bike but like two times and was a good 40-50 watts below what I think I could have done on a road bike.
I'm hoping to get a shot at a proper hour long effort on a 60ish minute climb in the mountains next month. I'm really looking forward (er...well, besides the suffering) to seeing what I could actually do for an hour a bloc.
