All this talk about how aero our positions are/aren't is a ton of fun. And the thread with previous race power and speed is also good. However I would like to see something a little different...

I suggest we have a thread where riders post there distance over 20km on an out and back course. Who can "average" the highest speed for this duration.

A few rules:

1) Should have a GPS link to verify (Strava, connect, etc.).
2) course should be as flat as possible, with minimum curves.
3) 10km out and back.

4) Actual avg speed is not the measure will be looking at, to nullify wind as much as possible the average speed is determined by averaging the section with the wind, and the section without. So if you averaged 30kmh into the wind for 3minutes longer on the out section then you average 35kmh on the back section your "average" speed would be the average of the two, 32.5kmh. This would be higher then your actual ride average, but would be similar to the average you would have achieved had you rode 20min out and 20minutes back.
I think this would help normalize for wind. However it would still be best to do it on a wind free day.

5) looking for a very achievable average for almost everyone, and one that is easy to do on any given day. So 200watts +/- 5 watts seems like a good goal. Important to keep this equal for both legs.

And of course a report on equipment, position (with picture) and conditions would be wanted.

Anyone else think this could be fun?
