This has always puzzled me. I have seen people bragging how light their bike it but they are overweight. Is it just like a backpack where every pound counts? In other words, would a person that is 160 pounds with a 20 pound bike and a person that is 156 pounds with a 24 pound bike technically be the same excluding factors such as fitness level and aerodynamics? » read more

I put tags on all the videos so you can filter the videos by stuff like category, crash, music, road race/criterium, telemetry, etc.   If anyone is interested in helping me, let me know.  I can give people rights to post new videos as long as you follow the format I put together so that it stays organized.   » read more

So... I fancy myself a strong time trialist and am looking for advice on bang for the buck in aero wheels. I use a wheelbuilder aero jacket cover on my rear (powertap) wheel. I am about to get a 40 mm front wheel (set actually) to use for training and racing. In TTs I've used a 27mm 18 spoke Easton ea90 rim (mine), and borrowed Zipp 404, Zipp 1080, HED jet 90... My 2 best 10 mile TTs were on the Easton, my best 40 km on the HED. All at about 27-27.7 mph. My intuition tells me I will be faster with the 40mm front and quasi disc rear than the 27mm... But I wonder if anyone has any idea how many seconds could be gained over a 40mm rim to say a 60mm, a HED3, or HED 3D, or 85-90mm wheel? » read more

I happened to catch this crash in a recent crit. I am glad to have avoided it. But, it sparked a debate as to who was at fault. You have a lapped rider (Orange Stripe, bigger guy) drifted back as through the middle of the field as he is lapped again another rider in blue who swerves to miss him another rider (orange stripe, skinnier) who has an overlapped wheel, head down and goes down. What do you think? » read more

I made a highlight video - 5 minutes and I also uploaded the whole thing - 37 minutes.  

This is my first category 4 race and my first race in Maryland. The course is 1.5 miles with a hill. It was 10 laps for a total of 15 fast paced miles. Includes some commentary. » read more
