And I kinda liked the idea.
Actually, I fell in love with the idea.
So I'm starting an experiment with what might be called an "eccentric" build, because life is too short to approach it overly cautiously. It'll be interesting trying to figure out the middle ground between aero and control, so "experiment" is appropriate.
Stay tuned!
Interesting. I wasn't aware that kind of event existed. Please share pics.
An event I did last year (Bovine Classic in Atascadero, CA) included timed segments. The winner was the rider with the lowest combined time for the segments. How fast or slow you rode between segments didn't matter.
