It looks like a climb of Fremont Peak is taking the place of the Mt Tam Hillclimb this year: http://wordpress.ncncaracing.com/?p=1090 Fremont Peak is...
Excellent selection and well worth the drive. Very Diabloish climb or an extended version of West Alpine with a peak about 300 feet lower than Diablo. There's...
Dear Gang-- Saturday's hill ride in SF, led by Allison, was well, interesting. Typical SF summer weather, sad to say, but the sun peaked from the fog now and...

Hi all, I've been thinking of doing some TT's and want to improve my skills on the TT bike. I know this is a hill climbing group but figured a decent number...

Dan, did you measure the same total distance on the two days? I've been impressed in riding at the Velodrome how hard it's much harder it is than I would...
First, on the ride stats... here those are (I hope this comes out): min from ride, start km into climb, min into climb, kilojoules 56.43, 5.357, 17.96, 29.81 ...
A longer hill would lessen the effect of a given stretch of road ridden differently between runs. A wider turn has a longer radius so it covers more distance....
Good points! Of course with long hills, doing a large number of repetitions tends to result in complaints from the leg department :). When I generate route...
