Ooo nice big turn out - good work guys. That Andrew Green fella is turning into to a bit of a tidy racer :wink: :D

Thanks to all who made this happen, many an unsung hero(ine).

Pleased with last night, legs felt good and apart from having to free-wheel a bit at the mid-point RAB on the return leg to let a car through it couldn't have gone much better. That didn't cost much though, only 3 seconds I think :D .

As Toks said, nice big turnout. Long may it continue and all success to Jon C's Club TT Series.

Thanks for letting me ride last night.

My comedy moment was losing both contact lenses at the same time just after 3 miles. I could not even read my computer on my handlebars after that, and then just tried to keep just to the right of the fuzzy very wide white line on the road. At the turn roundabout I kid you not, I had to listen intently to try to find out if there were any cars coming, and be very careful! On the bright side though I certainly didn't lose any time looking across the road at other riders, or trying to pick out riders in the distance.

No wind at all, very calm.

That's when you know you've got bad legs - I thought it was pretty windy .. (both ways :? ). Over a minute slower than last time (when it WAS windy), the watch doesn't lie.

Cheers to the two Jons series is a good idea.

Head wind both ways...that's how you can tell it was calm :D .

I'd have preferred it 10 degrees warmer though.

[quote="Sean Hogan"]Is it a coincidence that the two fastest guys are amongst the smallest? Was there big headwind?

Typical tester build :lol:

And I'll have you know small people don't like the wind! It has to do with the non-linear muscle mass to frontal area drag relation ..

Does that mean we get blown about more than a big lump?

Yes
[quote]An interesting aspect of this shift is to note that smaller cyclists generally excel on hill climbs, while larger cyclists are generally better on solo efforts on level ground. As a consequence of scaling geometry (Astrand and Rodahl, 1986; Schmidt-Nielsen, 1984), mass increases with the cube of height, while surface area only increases with the square of height. This means that, although larger cyclists have a greater total frontal area to push through the air than smaller cyclists, their advantage in mass (and power generating capacity) is even greater. As a consequence, large cyclists have a higher ratio of power to frontal area than smaller cyclists, giving large cyclists an advantage in overcoming air resistance (Swain et al., 1987), as observed in time trials. It is not surprising that Miguel Indurain, the pre-eminent time trialist of the 1990's, was larger than most of his rivals.


But you climb better Andrew :)
[quote]However, since air resistance is negligible at slow climbing speeds, all cyclists are at a similar energy cost, relative to their body weight. Small cyclists excel at hill climbing because they generally have greater relative aerobic power (VO2max in ml·min-1·kg-1 ) than do large cyclists. This is also a consequence of scaling geometry: relative to body mass, smaller organisms have greater alveolar and capillary surface areas in the lungs, greater capillary surface areas in the muscles, and greater cross-sectional area of arteries for the delivery of blood. Examinations of elite endurance athletes from a variety of sports, including cycling, have revealed that VO2max scales with the 2/3 power of mass; that is, if a 60-kg elite athlete has a VO2max of 80 ml·min-1·kg-1, then a comparably trained elite athlete who weighs 100 kg would be expected to have a VO2max of only 68 ml·min-1·kg-1 (Astrand and Rodahl, 1986; Swain, 1994). Thus, at the elite level, one expects superior performance from smaller athletes in aerobic events where power requirements are approximately proportional to body mass--such as distance running and uphill cycling. (Technically, the power requirement scales more closely to mass, i.e. M0.76-M0.79 than does the power supply, M0.67; Swain, 1994). It is not surprising that the pre-eminent climber of the 1990s, Marco Pantani, is one of the smallest men in the peloton at only 55 kg. Anything that can be done to reduce the weight of a cyclist and bicycle, without compromising the cyclist's aerobic power, will improve hill-climbing performance.
