Velodiva with her team mate who raced with her on the Webcor Team Time Trial at Altamount Saturday. These women will rip your legs off – very scary.


Here is my bike as ridden. I borrowed a set of HED 3c. They worked really well but were a little erratic a couple of times in wind gusts. I used a 49/16 for warmup and raced in a 49/15. I was thinking about gearing up a bit but a friend, who has been advising me at the track, suggested that I stick with lower gear. He agreed that I would be faster in a bigger gear but taking the longer view, it would be better to work on increasing my cadence in a competitive format and later increase gear inches. And of course, there is always the concern about injury due to using big gears at max effort. He was right about one thing. I was spinning my brains out keeping up with the competition.
