I used it about 3 weeks ago to give myself about a 3 minute advantage, then successfully spent those savings to get a Top 5 in a local 'rally' (non-race that really is a race, if you know what I mean). <BR/><BR/>E-mail me off-list and I'll set you up with one if you like. It can teach you how to hide from the wind, if not the USADA goons.whareaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824055294445501713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-12715810881658349792008-05-19T15:46:00.000-07:002008-05-19T15:46:00.000-07:00"Brenna looked pained"Yep, a guilty conscience is ..."Brenna looked pained"<BR/><BR/>Yep, a guilty conscience is a horrible thing to be carrying around.<BR/><BR/>I heard that CAS hearings can be beneficial in removing that sort of guilt by a rather unique technique ... exposure to the truth.

At least I know you're the real deal.<BR/><BR/>Drag may indeed be a factor. I'm quite tall and unfortunately wore a windbreaking top which was a bit flappy at high speeds. My intention was to jus wear it until temperatures rose above 5 C, but once I was going, I never got round to stopping to remove it (I may point you to some pics, if they become available).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for the advice. At least I've something to work on now.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, AliAlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786387057717601356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-82314964917429070342008-05-19T14:49:00.000-07:002008-05-19T14:49:00.000-07:00Sounds to me like a drag problem.

But when you climb, the aero component is diminished, and the gravity component begins to take over. So if you're strong, but not aero, it is possible to be a good climber, but not necessarily a good flatlander. <BR/><BR/>Just my $.02...whareaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824055294445501713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-83425632229914413352008-05-19T14:26:00.000-07:002008-05-19T14:26:00.000-07:00Let's say, hypothetically, that someone was pretty...Let's say, hypothetically, that someone was pretty steady going up climbs. Maybe not burning them up but picking up lots of places along the way. However, the same person seems to loose all their gains on the flats, when all the people they just passed on the climb come storming past them.<BR/><BR/>How does that work ? How would one become better/faster on the flat ?Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786387057717601356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-14093228676273549452008-05-19T13:31:00.000-07:002008-05-19T13:31:00.000-07:00Naw, it's being transferred over to a new server. ...Naw, it's being transferred over to a new server.
