Sunday, February 10, 2013. A couple of good questions from a customer. As the race season picks up, I get more and more questions like this coming through my inbox. Read on, but please be advised that it gets a bit graphic about external catheters. If you are going to Sebring, have a GREAT race! I have a Bent Up Cycles Aero bag. I can put two bottles of water in, but for a century ride, I need more water. Do you have any ideas how I can carry more? I’m thinking about riding the century at Sebring. Finall...

Compare cycling routes

http://www.flacyclist.com/content/perf/compare_routes.html

Climb = what flat distance? Your route sheet says today's ride is 127 miles with 6500 ft of climbing. Ummm, you wonder how that compares to the 145 miler with 3100 ft of climbing that you did last month. Which is harder? If only there was a way to compare the two.

Power, speed, equivalent flat distance. 189; Area Coef. Area = Cross-sectional area of the rider in m². Air Density, kg/m³. Varies with temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude. Can be calculated like this:. P / (R T). P = pressure, Pascals (multiply mb by 100 to get Pascals). R = gas constant, J/(kg * °K) = 287.05 °K for dry air;. T = temperature, °K = °C 273.15. Drag coefficient, dimensionless. 7 m/s In other words V. W = Weight of the rider and bike, kg. W = Weight of the rider and bike, kg.
