FTP & V02 Max....

Submitted by edelk on Sun, 07/12/2015 - 1:45pm

Does anyone know if a bike shop or personal trainer offers testing for Functional Threshold Power and V02Max? I know YouTube has some How-To videos, but like proper bike fitting, I'd personally prefer to deal with a professional who does it right in a controlled environment, and against which I can benchmark progress over time. 

Thanks for any solid leads!

Route advice: NYC-Ithaca

Submitted by arvi on Thu, 07/09/2015 - 9:48pm

Hi everyone. I'm working on a Brooklyn to Ithaca route for an expedition later this summer. I'm planning to do it in probably three days - mileage something like 100 + 100 + 50. Of course I know the benefits of using MNR/NJT to skip some urban miles, but I like to start with my wheel touching my stoop.
