FWIW, I thought the mug was funny. I’ve got 2 brothers and we all take the piss out of each other a lot.
I’m reminded of when my sons bought me this mug for Christmas when they were teenagers. Baller.

There is a place where I could do an FTP test indoors on a trainer, but I really have no desire to subject myself to that.

I’m 53, and gained most of my cycling fitness after age 43. I’ve never done an FTP test nor used a power meter, but based on occasionally asking the guy next to me what his meter says, I can sustain over 200 W for a long time, at under 75 kg.
