Even a young Rebecca Twigg appeared extremely uncomfortable in packs, but she was so strong she could win anyway. Most of us don't have her gifts and therefore need to learn the basics.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-90381002478820594202008-04-18T12:49:00.000-04:002008-04-18T12:49:00.000-04:00Aki - great post!

In the Cat 3 races I can move up in the wind no problem. Not the case in the Pro1-3s. I guess it comes with time and experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-67162528404253718152008-04-18T11:52:00.000-04:002008-04-18T11:52:00.000-04:00Why do you tell people these things?

I...That wheel-movement thing kind of blew my mind. It's all relative I guess--movement in relation to the bicycle in general, movement in relation to the ground, in relation to the air, or in relation to the hub. Cool stuff. <BR/><BR/>It reminded me of the book <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0262731541?ie=UTF8&tag=gccy-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0262731541" REL="nofollow">Bicycling Science, 3rd Edition</A>, which I picked up a few weeks ago. It's sort of geared <I>(no pun intended)</I> for bicycle designers and people with a degree in physics, but it's also an absolutely fascinating read for anyone who is deeply enthusiastic about cycling in general. It covers topics like aerodynamics, rolling resistance, braking, the mechanics of balancing, and a lot more, all with esoteric charts and calculational equations. <BR/><BR/>I don't think there was anything in it about girls blowing in your ear (I looked), but it's pretty cool anyway.Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201728865343446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-66372522008978168482008-04-18T10:17:00.000-04:002008-04-18T10:17:00.000-04:00If both ears are getting something, either you're ...<I> If both ears are getting something, either you're really lucky or</I><BR/><BR/>I snorted.Colin Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289923497258059725noreply@blogger.com
