Well, I did the fake miles tonight after a lackluster previous week. I thought about doing an FTP test since I knew my legs were fresh, but didn't feel like it. Ended up doing the London route with Leith Hill and had a good push on the long climb for me. Actually ended up getting a boosted FTP setting based on in ride data to 207 watts. I even averaged 217 over 24 minutes on the full hill according to Strava. So I think that makes it official that the ramp test I did at the end of January was on an improperly set trainer. I don't think you can go from and FTP of 184 to 207 in a month. Well, at least not on just 100 or so miles a week.
