I literally don't understand what you are talking about. TCTP? Redbud century, I assume a charity ride, calculation of pitifully low FTP?
I thought this was a satirical extension of the fact that 42 is the meaning of life. Sorry to offend.

I'm taking a real SWAG here, but I think TCTP might be Triple Century Training Program, and FTP might be Fitness Training Program?
BTW, my method of training for a century is the Nike method: Just Do It. In the past, one I've liked to do is the Horsey Hundred, which I usually do with about 150 miles under my belt prior. It's always at least double my longest ride of the season up to that point. Although the last time I did it, they didn't feed us lunch until AFTER the century. That's a long way to ride on only munchies!
