I just turned 18. I have been riding for three years now and have been showing major improvments every year. I started out on a hybrid to mostly lose weight. Then I just started getting more and more into cycling from there. I got my first road bike Oct. 05 and did my first race June 06. Right now I am the strogest I have ever been and am averaging 188 miles a week for this year. My question is just how much improvment do I have left in me. I know most men usualy reach there peak around 29 years old. If I keep improving at the pace I have been for the last few years I will be seeing yellow in my future , or atleast thats my goal.

That is hard to answer without knowing your FTP w/kg. If you have a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine you can test yourself for a one hour TT get power from speed 17.1mph=185.53w 17.2mph=187.74w 17.3mph=189.98w 17.4mph=192.23w 17.5mph=194.51w 17.6mph=196.80w 17.7mph=199.12w 17.8mph=201.46w 17.9mph=203.81w 18mph=206.19w 18.1mph=208.59w 18.2mph=211.01w 18.3mph=213.45w 18.4mph=215.91w 18.5mph=218.39w 18.6mph=220.89w 18.7mph=223.42w 18.8mph=225.96w 18.9mph=228.53w 19mph=231.12w 19.1mph=233.73w 19.2mph=236.36w 19.3mph=239.02w 19.4mph=241.70w 19.5mph=244.40w 19.6mph=247.12w 19.7mph=249.86w 19.8mph=252.63w 19.9mph=255.42w 20mph=258.24w 20.1mph=261.07w 20.2mph=263.93w 20.3mph=266.81w 20.4mph=269.72w 20.5mph=272.65w 20.6mph=275.60w 20.7mph=278.58w 20.8mph=281.58w 20.9mph=284.60w 21mph=287.65w 21.1mph=290.72w 21.2mph=293.82w 21.3mph=296.94w 21.4mph=300.09w 21.5mph=303.26w 21.6mph=306.45w 21.7mph=309.67w 21.8mph=312.92w 21.9mph=316.19w 22mph=319.48w 22.1mph=322.80w 22.2mph=326.15w 22.3mph=329.52w 22.4mph=332.92w 22.5mph=336.34w 22.6mph=339.79w 22.7mph=343.26w 22.8mph=346.76w 22.9mph=350.29w 23mph=353.84w 23.1mph=357.42w 23.2mph=361.03w 23.3mph=364.66w 23.4mph=368.32w 23.5mph=372.01w 23.6mph=375.72w 23.7mph=379.46w 23.8mph=383.23w 23.9mph=387.03w 24mph=390.85w 24.1mph=394.70w 24.2mph=398.58w 24.3mph=402.48w 24.4mph=406.42w 24.5mph=410.38w 24.6mph=414.37w 24.7mph=418.39w 24.8mph=422.44w 24.9mph=426.51w 25mph=430.62w 25.1mph=434.75w 25.2mph=438.91w 25.3mph=443.10w 25.4mph=447.32w 25.5mph=451.57w 25.6mph=455.85w 25.7mph=460.16w 25.8mph=464.49w 25.9mph=468.86w 26mph=473.26w and see where you stand on the power profile chart. http://www.cyclingpeakssoftware.com/...profile_v4.gif Quote:

If you have a big hill say 20 minutes long you can get the elevations from google earth maps and calculate the rise run then do a 20 minute hill climb calculate watts at www.analyticcycling.com all for free. Take off 5% to estimate hour power (FTP).Quote:
