I meant to ask this earlier, but how many kg's are you? I remember you being fairly light. I'm realizing how much being heavy sucks in real life and in zwift. Sitting at 110 kg's so my 2 watts per kg is far outside of my current approximate FTP of ~170. After doing the climbing route on Saturday, I think I could tell that 170 was fairly accurate, so I should probably commit to one of the FTP builder training programs. The weight will come off slowly as I ride more and eat less crap. I was as low as 95 kg last time I was really riding. Shooting for 85-90 in the long term.
