    Those Garmin recovery recommendations are pretty entertaining. My neighbor and I compare them to see who really worked harder on our rides 🙂

    It does seem like something that you could estimate with TSS. Kind of like a bank – maybe you make deposits (recover) at the rate of 40 TSS a day. So if you make a withdrawl (do a ride) with a TSS of 80, you’d need 2 days to fully recover and get your account balance back to where you started. With a 40 TSS ride you could go again the next day. Would have to experiment to figure out your personal recovery rate but it might be an interesting place to start.

    Awesome, thanks for all the info! I always wondered why I could see so much saddle behind pro tour riders when they were really putting the hammer down.

    I did inadvertently try riding “in the back seat” once time when I swapped saddles and didn’t get the bolts tight. The saddle had slid all the way back on the rails and I ended up with some ache in the back of one knee, I assume from my lack of hamstring flexibility.

    At any rate, thanks for the great info. Lots to think about while I’m moving stuff around
