A good time for 10km TT?

This really isn't the best place for a nice guy to ask a question about his athletic performance. You're liable to get a wild assortment of advice, accurate and inaccurate. Some of the nicest members of the group are apt to address you as 'dumbass,' while some of the worst members of the group are apt to address you by your given name. It can be a confusing place before you get used to it. I actually prefer the roughness of this group to the false veneer of civility often found on other groups. At least here there are no unexpectedly rude and/or crazy things that just pop up out of the blue. Here it's all on display from the get go! If you think this is a rough newsgroup, you don't get out on Usenet much. I'd call this one middle of the road - there are some nicer but many far worse. And I confess to have _never_ found a "veneer of civility" in Usenet, false or otherwise. I've kept my forays to groups with some semblance of relavency to people who are not entirely off their rocker. Things like how to optimze a database, vs aroma-therapy treatments for bus-sickness. The sane/crazy ratio seems to have a lot to do with it. r.b.* is a borderline case, with a fair number of fruitcakes, particularly among those who also know what Usenet is. Guys with beards who complain that Supergo doesn't stock spare parts for 15 year old floor-pumps. Joseph |

For improving your 10km TT time, try doing some local training races (aka group rides). Don't escape but keep riding in the front 5, 6, 7. React on every big move. Then if you're still there in the end, try escaping first with 2km to go, later rides 3 or 4. Don't do this more than 3x/week. Despite living near Europe, I prefer the American date notation: 6/6/6. You describe my Tuesday club races, and Thursday "fast" training rides. Thursdays sometimes end with a slight downhill where I try to shake people off my wheel, and give it all I've got for the last 2km. If I get loose, I can usually stay away. 115kg of guy and bike on a slight downhill spinning 53x12 is hard to catch. I'm going to try making my move sooner. Joseph |

DO NOT use a TT bike since those guys are riding well below the speed at which a TT bike would make any significant contribution. You'd be able to get the same boost simply by riding with your hands next to the stem and you head as far down as you can get it. What is the speed at which a TT bike makes a significant contribution? Enlighten us. -RJ |

We have a local TT that we do which is about 20 km and has 600 feet of climbing in it with several sections of approximately 6% for more than 100 yards both going up and coming down. My best time is around 35 minutes for an average of 20.5 mph. I've done this on a TT bike and on a normal bike and SURPISE! a normal bike is faster. At speeds below 25 mph a TT bike adds almost nothing to your speed. The difference in drag is almost indetectable and TT bikes are generally heavier and accelerate slower. Moreover, unless you spend countless hours on a TT bike the position is foreign enough that you put out less power in that position. Are you saying that 25 mph is the speed? -RJ |

Good time for a time trial :
d == distance t == time gender = 1 if female, 0 if male t = [1 hr * (distance / 40 km) ^ 1.07] / 0.9 ^ gender Dan |
