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…
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…
Why Ride Indoors? If your winter riding activities include a bike like this, this post might not be for you. As the winter season arrives, riding our bikes outside becomes more and more difficult.
