Watts To Weight Competition

Without a doubt, your power to weight ratio is the most critical metric in relation to cycling performance.  Our "Watts to Weight" competition is a means of gauging improvement as well as staying "honest" with those calories through the base season.

• At the end of a 12 week period athlete is again weighed in and any weight loss / gain is calculated.  They perform a second FTP test and % of improvement in P/W ratio is calculated. 
• Winner is the athlete that has the most improvement.  Note that improvement can be gained by weight loss as well as power gain!
