But I could also be really, really wrong about my estimation of what others can do.
Now my FTP is close to 300W but I ride 8 hours per week and I'm now 47.
That's great, and you're obviously a strong cyclist
I said average though, and your #'s label you as a Cat 3 racer, assuming you weigh 150 lbs (as power output is relevant only compared to your weight) That's not average. YMMV :-)
