Official Tour of Sufferlandria 2022 Route Discussion Thread

I signed up for the focused plan and when I was looking at the coach-modified targets I see that the adjusted FTP traget for SUF Idol is 1%. Is that correct?

I’m pretty sure that’s a typo (it’s Sufferlandria after all).

Edit: also, if you open the vid, it’s clearly 100% for FTP

Thanks, I just checked and its at 100% which is good because I’m not sure how to ride at 1% unless it was a new trackstand skill they were adding.

I’m always so impressed by people that can do this. Are you saying your one of them?

I can usually last 30 seconds so nothing impressive.

A banked track is easy. Try doing it on rollers.

Have stupidly tried it on my Kreitlers many times. That’s why I keep a wall handy. Think I could pull it off on a fixie or track bike. Hmmm, dedicated track bike for the rollers? Whole new avenues of pain opening up…

:smirk:

@IsiSchneider_KoS I tried my washing machine once, and went into it so solidly that my rear wheel left a rubber mark across the door. Never has come out. Wife was…annoyed.

I love that competition. They line up, but do not know when the start gun will go off. So they need to track stand while they wait. If they dab, they’re disqualified.

While I’m here, I’ll drop a bib template below. I use Paint to edit mine.
