All I've been told is "don't kill it the first five minutes, but build up to it". Because of the climb on the way out, we'll be about 60-65% done at the turn around so don't save too much. Then just try to be real aero on the way back since it will be a few MPH faster.
If I put my data into this site (assuming zero wind):

I get an estimated time of around 22 minutes with aerobars and 23:30 without.
Maybe I'll see you up there. I'll be in my Zteam kit riding a Felt.
Thanks for posting the link. Interesting stuff. What does the variable "Trans Eff." refer to?
This gives me a rough idea how long it will take and about what power level I know I can ride it at without blowing up before the top. I'll be there with a bunch of people from my team. We're from DBC - so we'll have the blue and orange kits. You probably know Jesse, but I don't know if he is going or not.
