I just did my first PT ride. I was able to upload and look at the data. Its a 3hr ride, 60mile, 2500+ft climbing, 30 degrees and 1 flat. Anyway, I wasn't planning to do a full out 20min test cause my training day called for an easy day. But I wanted to do a moderate 20min interval and halfway into it said what the heck and let my intensity climb. The final 5min I pushed hard and I think its a good effort to estimate FTP (for now). The last 10 minutes of the inteval were very solid. Interval started at 24min and ended at 44min. I punched interval at the start, but forgot to punch it again at the end. I ride mostly MTB, and much of my training (and racing) is on the MTB, but i want to do intervals on the road bike and PT, for quality. I am 44 and 69kilo this morning (68 is race weight). I have a good base and am starting to work on power this week (Sea Otter is goal race Apr 12), so it would be nice to have a close estimate of an FTP to get started with. Heres the file if anyone is interested in looking and giving me an estimate, and maybe any other info that the file might reveal. Thanx!

edit: The 20min interval was performed on a climb with varying inclines, mostly mild to moderate.
