(For the life of me I can't remember when/where I first heard that saying, but it has been apropos so often over the years.)

Casually Deliberate
I don't think we've heard that yet but we did have a woman call out "Stop pedaling and let him do all the work." And, along those lines, LoP thought we did a very good job going up the hill yesterday- I'm not sure how much I contributed since I stopped feeling it about a half hour after the ride and never did get sore- and said that some people wind up walking their bikes up it. I said "Have you met me? There was no way in hell I was going to walk this bike up the hill." Especially since it's a tandem. I don't need people putting their windows down and yelling "Two of you can't get that thing up the hill?"

It looks like we're going to be doing the 34 mile loop of the Ride Around Clark County. I kind of wanted to do the 66 but we've only been on the tandem since the 6th of this month and I have a cashiering shift the day before and the day after so it might be better to come down on the side of caution.

Climbed South Mountain in Phoenix with my son in law (on a 16/46
single speed)Coming into the parking lot by TV towers
Riding my Shogun Selectra
Went back and rode the last 2 miles again with him
He's a runner not a big cyclist, but he would so hand me my ass if we were on equal equipment
The descent was fast and fun

TP, didn't say it was up to you which number to look at but up to your coach which setting to use, either zero recording or non-zero recording.

Which reminds me
I did a church stop on my memorial ride. Oh yes. No Hail Mary, though.

My Garmin allows for non recording when not pedaling instead of using zero.
If you look at trainer rides, you'll see ave power and NP are essentially the same. This is because you never stop pedaling in the trainer. So for trainer rides, look at either. For road rides, NP is more accurate.

Oh, that. Yes after @FLvector's post I figured out that's what you were getting at. There's no benefit that I could imagine from setting things up that way.
Perfectly possible for NP to be greater than FTP on a ride less than 1 hour. However, because by definition FTP is your maximal sustainable power output for 1 hour, if NP exceeds FTP on a 1+ hr ride, I believe that means your FTP is too low. Which is why it's better to determine FTP by riding a test.
