It's not like people have changed that much. We humans mistake technical advances for human evolution. People are competitive, people cheat, that's life.

It's so eye opening when pros share that stuff, even more when they share their power data files.

My average when I won gold at the 2014 Senior Olympics in the 40K road race was 25.5. I was at 90% of my max HR with a headwind. I turn 73 in 3 weeks.

I believe Lemond did not dope. I believe Andy Hampsten did not dope. (Andy won the Giro.) I know a guy who was national level in those days and his body was a temple. That was the mindset in the US, especially after the Olympics blood doping thing. Ride clean or GTFO. Lance is the one who changed it.

That's pretty much my back of the mind cycling goal, to do a 1 hour 40k. Without wind assistance. My fastest so far without favorable conditions or draft partners is 1 hour 11 min, on a road bike. Those 11 min are going to hurt.

The key was getting training advice from Chris Carmichael who set up several training regimens for me leading up to the race (intervals, pedaling efficiency, weight training) which put me in the best shape I have been in for many years. It was not about a lot of time spent on the bike but rather the quality of the time. A 1-2 interval workout did much more than a 4-5 hour ride at a decent pace. It was not easy but the benefits were worth it. I also took gold for the 5 & 10K time trials for a clean sweep. Old guys rule. Last edited by Rayscott; 02-04-2017 at 10:49 AM.. |

The RR was around the outskirts of the city of Dover, DE. All the intersections were open and controlled by the police. The course was flat but we did have a headwind most of the way. The only scary part at the start was that there were a few inexperienced riders in our group that were not used to riding at that pace and were a little dangerous. We quickly dropped them and everything was cool.

Went riding with some people who we ride with on occasion. They brought a new guy who was sketchy as hell. The next day we asked our friend about that guy and they laughed and told us his nickname. "Swervello" hahahahaha

He laughed, admitted those skills were weak and it was one of the reasons he joined the club. We're still friends. |

Thanks, I am fully recovered. If you want to slow down in a pace line you don't stop pedaling, just simply move to the side where you are out of the slip stream and will slow down naturally. This jackass did the same thing during an earlier ride but I didn't know about as I was in Florida. He braked, the guy behind him went down, was knocked unconscious and broke several ribs. When I got back and rode with him none of the other riders knew about him as it was a different group.
