Useless Data
I love how some bike racers think they need to sit down with a calculater to figure out the numbers on a course. Pretty Fredalistic.
"Let see, by my calculations I should be able to climb that at X speed, divided by the wind factor, multiplied by the number of attacks".
JUST RIDE...Braintard!
You can either pedal the damn thing or you can't. END Of STORY!
Calculate this profile.It should come out to something like this!
GET IT!?

Exactly.....
That is hilarious......I like your math MS!
RIGHT!!! That is some good math, old school style.
One can study the profile until he is blue in the face, that isn't going to keep him on OV's wheel when the hammer goes down.
"Hey wait, according to the profile and my calculations you can't attack here, this doesn't compute."
Okay, I'm through dreamin' of a powermeter. But I can't give up my HRM...
Dr X,
Actually that's not quite where we are coming from. Power Meters and HRMs are training tools, good stuff.
But wanting to study the profile of a course that one has already ridden is a bit silly. Actually, even studying the profile not knowing the course really isn't going to help one much. There are so many other factors that make that information moot.
I agree with Nome on that one. I think it's fun to look at the numbers......but I don't really let it control what I do. Well, maybe sometimes I do.....but for the most part, I don't. In fact, my HRM was used so much last year, I busted it. Now I'm HRMless! And you know, it feels kinda weird.
