I think the TT bike gives you 1.5-2 mph on most course profiles.

Dave Freifelder, is he the Cat 1 NJ crit champ? If so, he had no problem hanging with the Pros at Somerville.

Wait. Isn't this the part where you tell me that you used to be a pro, Shimano sucks and Obama can't get re-elected?

Actual TT bikes are pretty fast. When I compare my times on the TT bike to guys who are clearly faster than me in TT's where they are in the 'Cannibal' division (regular road bikes on the same course) I routinely beat guys who I KNOW are faster than I am. I think the TT bike gives you 1.5-2 mph on most course profiles. I think my time on that same course yesterday would be 21-21.5 mph tops on a regular road bicycle.

Does your estimate apply to all road profiles? I have yet seen any1 on a TT/Tri bike go up a cat3 or steeper climb.

Whooshy, it's 'you're' if you are saying 'you are', which I would have thought you would have learned before you got out of third grade.








Apparently not.

I won't be so fat in a month. It's coming off. As for Kg, that's not so relevant on flat TT courses. Bottom line is that skinny gives you better W/Kg numbers AND it makes you more aerobic. Hell, I'm over 180 lbs, if I get under 170lbs I think I can get considerably faster. Felt better on the bike tonight than I have all year, I was going much better. Average cadence for that 15+ minute ride was 102. Average HR 176. That's where those numbers are when I'm healthy, so that's very encouraging considering where I was a month ago. The power is down, but that will come back and the weight will come off.

Very positive tonight. I'm not fast compared to anybody. I'm fastER than I was before and I can get faster still. I'm only racing myself.

Easier said than done... I'm the mommy, and 2 month old twins are pretty demanding. Last year I could be out with the 2yo in the bike trailer easy enough, but they don't make trailers for 3 kids, or for babies under about 6 months.
