Rule 1

1. Image and style shall be your primary concern. When suffering, one must focus first on maintaining a cool, even composure, and second on performance. Winning races is an added talent, and only counts if said euro cyclist wins with appropriate style.


















Just a reminder, boys....

Bakersfield - Let's Rock It!

Hey,

We got spammed, how about that?

Anyway I mapped Bakersfield with elevation.
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1878060

Looks like there'll be a warmup climb at the start. Not too bad. Then down to the base level. The real climb starts at about mile 12. 800ft over 3.5 miles, 230 ft/mile, slightly steeper than Mandeville. Then descend, wee!! Looks like some tight turns on the descent. Mostly flat until a little rise near the S/F.

Power Training Stuff

Some of may be repetitive, but rather than spam the list, I posted it here. Some of it gets to be really scientific - analysis/paralysis.

Andy Coggan's article. Condensed version of "Training & Racing with a Power Meter."

Article by Charles Howe. This links to the triathletes section, but useful for road racing too.
