Re: Power meter/ Trainerroad growing pains? [nocolonstlrolln]
You'll likely be getting lots of input on this but from my own experience and what I've read outdoor FTP is typically higher than indoor. I'm about 8% higher outside. I've heard of many reason for this; cooling, momentum outdoors, motivation etc. Training Peaks has an interesting article on the subject.

Outdoors your power will jump all over the place and depends on what your averaging is set to. I have a 3 second power on my Garmin 510 and it jumps a lot, especially when it's windy or on bad roads. I also have a field for Lap NP and set my autolap to 1 mile, that seems to help me smooth out the entire ride a bit.
