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.

Unfortinutly I dont have any power measuring devices.

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).
