Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sorry I meant on the wired bike computer ref the second part of that post but just realised it was a general observation not a recommendation for this case.

Both. FTP, and therefore I assume zones, if anything is a bit low on the Garmin. I am definitely calorie deficit on every ride. I’ll do 70km with no food and 100km on one 750ml bottle.
