Heres a challenge for you for the week. The winning time was 8:50 by Cancellara. Get out your bike, borrow one or rent a huffy, mark off a flat 5 mile route and have at it. Hows your time compare to that of the pros? Don’t be shy, post your time here on ST. Next week, there will be a new challenge.
I’ve always wondered, when the streets are lined as they were yesterday, does that negate any winds?
I would think so, thats how lemond got a bit of extra time in the final tt in 89, he rode really tight to the crowds. (plus all that aero gear)
7900 meters is less than 5 miles.
I tried this on the stationary trainer today…
Attempt #1 - Blowup after 3/4’s of a mile.
Attempt #2 - 10:08.
Steady heartrate of 165.
What kind of stationary trainer did you use? I think you can download the course through the racermate website and use a computrainer.
Lol, thats exactly what happened to me, I blew up the first try, then I went like 10:11
