Looking at my Mt. Hamilton time from yesterday, how much slower would a 24 pound hardtail with 26x1 slicks and a fork set soft climb than a common lightweight...
Hello all, Does anyone have any information about the driver of the car involved in Ileana's accident? Have they been cited? Are police investigating properly?...
... You can investigate the effect of weight with Tim Clark's power calculator, linked to http://lowkeyhillclimbs.com/ : 1. pick the climb 2. set the power to...
Interesting, an eight pound difference alone would make me the needed three minutes faster. Lost efficiency due to wider slower tires, greater aero drag, fork...
... Wind resistance is an additional non-trivial affect on that climb. Your position on the mountain bike is clearly more relaxed. To address this you adjust...

I do a 15 mile commute, 30 miles a day on mostly flat terrain on a roadbike. My average speed is approx 17mph with a 10 lb backpack on a 19lb bike. Never done...
Hi David, You should be able to match Spectrum. The best thing to do is to go out and try :). However, Spectrum is more like a mini-race, not really a social...
Pack riding skills are pretty much a necessity for both of these rides. deb On Sat, 29 Nov 2008 17:57:28 -0800 "Ivan Poddubnyy" <ipoddubny@...> ... ...
The Spectrum ride is not a social ride. Like Debbie said, it requires "pack" skills. It is pretty fast (much faster than the B-Ride), probably averaging 22-23...
One other difference to note is that the Spectrum ride is mostly flat -- OK, rollers on Canada and such. The B-ride route will usually intersect or ride along...
I think 120-150 miles per week is plenty to be able to do the Spectrum ride. However, as others have said pack riding skill is critical on this ride (not so...
