Turbo Club - Meet Ups / Events

[Norry1]

How about this for a long term aim???

To save you all reading the small print - the UCI has decided to combine all the World Championship Events in the same place every 4 years - and that includes the Gran Fondo. In 2023 the first iteration will be in Glasgow/Scotland.

4 Year training plan anyone

@TurboTommy .
Your hilarious comment on @LBHIFI Strava ride that the sound created by his new wheel is worth the upgrade is a science fact deserves further study. If you apply for a research grant I'd be willing to be part of the control group.

I like your thinking my friend. Although if we were to be proven wrong we’d have to think of another crappy excuse for all the junk we buy?

If we lose whooshy and shiny we’re all screwed!

I seem to lucky not to loose any power in TT position, so I thought I would try to go a bit more extreme. The new position felt really good and I think that is the position I will use for next years ToC:

The test I did with this position would probably had me qualified in both 50-54 and 55-59 age group (I'm in the 55-59 age group next year), so from here on it's just a question of keeping fit, and hopefully add a few more watts to my FTP.

Comparing it to your avatar your back is much flatter. No wonder you're collecting KOMs.

You're right, that's a good comparison. The avetar position was the one I used for last years Toc.

That looks really, really aero. Well done for finding - and being able to hold - that position

There's a good vid on YouTube about Mr Obree and his various positions.

I'll let y'all watch it.

The superman position has got the fastest hour record held by Boardman, which has yet to be surpassed by today's current setups.
Even though Boardman's record has been disqualified

[I'm being too idle to Google] Why was it disqualified?
