This time trial position is my fastest yet. I’m comfortable enough to ride long time trials; I maintain more of my road bike power than ever before;  and my CdA is down to 0.208.  Win, win, win.  Yet if I looked at this position for the first time, I’d think there’s no way it’s […]Read More

I promised a report of my most recent trip to the A2 wind tunnel back in 2021.   While it took me a while to get to the write-up, I fortunately still have all the data and notes.  Even better, now that time has passed, I can draw better conclusions about this trip than I could […]Read More

Background and Old Position: Up until 2017, I spent many years testing and fine tuning my aero position.  I was pursuing record; records where set-up details matter a lot.  I documented a lot of this in prior posts.  However, I stopped riding the position I had put so much time into refining a few years […]Read More

I hadn’t been on a velodrome in 4 years. I hadn’t raced in nearly as long as taking some time off turned out longer and while it’s a story for another day it’s been a long 2 years working to return to form. Here I was at masters track nationals in Trexlertown Pennsylvania again about […]Read More

Damian Ruse of SemiProCycling.com recently interviewed Dean on how he has gained over 3 mph of speed over the past ten years without producing any more power. Dean has one of the most aerodynamic positions and equipment set-ups in the world for a rider of his size. This is a great opportunity to learn from […]Read More

As the opportunity to race the 3K Pursuit on what’s recognized as possibly the fastest track in the world approached, I made sure to bring the fastest setup I could. I wanted to make sure that the only thing between myself and my fastest time was, well, myself! Frame The most noticeable change from my […]Read More

My “Relentless Pursuit of Cycling Aerodynamics” articles chronicle my journey in recent years to beat the Masters World Record for the 3km pursuit event. I have come close to the record before; I missed by 0.7 seconds last fall at Masters Track Worlds. When I was recently invited to a special “record attempt” event at […]Read More

It is April 12, 2017 and I’m about to aero test the latest Felt TA FRD, reportedly the fastest track frame in the world. I’ll be riding dozens of 30mph laps around the Velo Sports indoor velodrome in Carson, California.  I was personally invited by Felt, as the only retailer representative, to test the bike […]Read More

I recently posted my test results from my trip with Marty to use the cutting edge Alphamantis Track Aero System (TAS) at the Mattamy National Cycling Center in Milton, Ontario. The TAS provides real-time aerodynamic data to the tester while you’re riding, which facilitates faster on-the-spot results and decisions compared to my normal field testing routine. […]Read More

With anticipation and excitement, Marty and […]Read More
