For you tech geeks like me. I took one of my clients to the Low Speed Wind Tunnel today to adjust his fit for optimum aerodynamic positioning. I will post pics later.

That is cool....
I saw a Discovery Channel show on Lance and how they fit him using a wind tunnel....he would move a thumb and they would say they was a 1/4 second drop in speed....very cool!!
Cant wait to see the pix!!
