Next week, to further the Aethos upgrade, the Friday Smash will be visiting Bologna for race 2.

1 lap of Dolphin https://www.zwift.com/events/view/5405996
then up and down at Bologna https://www.zwift.com/events/view/5406007

The Epic race tomorrow is up Epic KoM, which should help a bit too.

Hi @Joffey

I've mentioned several times my frustration with my lower indoor power vs outdoor.

This year I have been focused on doing a few max effort sprints on my indoor endurance Z2 rides. Today I hit my max power of 945W - approaching the magic kilowatt and better than the 874W which was my best indoor in the whole of 2025.

I also hope this translates into higher outdoor max power as well - just waiting for some decent weather to find out

That has me curious about what I could do.

I have done low 600s outdoors but those were not absolutely maximal efforts because I worry about falling off. (I did that in one catastrophic teenage sprint which mangled my left shoulder!)

I would feel safer sprinting on the turbo so I think that I could maybe (briefly!) top 700 W?

I will have a go in the springtime once I am free of winter bugs.
