I've seen Lee motorpacing numerous times at Hellyer behind Peter Bohl. Seems like it's a big part of his program.

Motorpacing is the only way to feel how the bike is at speed, while your not in the wind you still get the feel of what fast is and how your bike reacts to inputs from you, I can also guarantee you that you would not be able to repeat passing drills with a human in front as many times as you can with a motor.
That being said, the motor is only a tool and not the only tool needed to ride at speed. |

Dan Smith, another coach at Hellyer, runs a thursday morning endurance session that will start in March. Motor pacing is an integral part of that session and he uses Peter Bohl. I like Lee a lot and think he is a great coach and I use his services from time to time. |

I've heard when Robert Forstemann does squats, the bars stay still and he pushes the world down.

Been a bit hectic, so a delay in doing this conversion, but it was definitely worth doing (good idea, Carleton).
Average speed per event, for different age groups (based on World Masters times, appropriate split time for age groups with longer distances) http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=368366 |

Pretty ****ing awful.

so...it was the riders fault (mainly), agreed? I can see that they should have removed the gate the moment they saw that the riders weren't looking but in the end, they weren't looking.

The second rider cannot see past the first rider. She didn't have a chance. |

Watch the clip you just embeded. The 2nd riders was heads down managing the gap on the backstraight. This is not the rider's fault. |
not blaming the rider.
|
I was not talking about the 2nd rider but the first who swerved on the last moment, she should have slowed down/stopped much earlier since it was a missed start.
not taking the blame from the gate handlers, they should have removed the gate since they saw they were approaching at high speed, it seems it was just a major cluster**** by them all |

Some of you will remember watching me and my Team ride 2 full laps at T-Town Masters Nats- a full 666m! Through 7 pistol shots and everyone screaming at us that we had false started..

Add to that the fact of being all hopped up on competition and ready to thrash a short, all-out effort - you're channeling all of your senses into stomping on your pedals. You're not listening for changes in your environment. |
It looks like the 2nd rider was a fair bit shorter too. Gate should have been moved, but the first rider probably could have gone up a lot sooner. Scary crash.

From what i read elsewhere the rider in question was Irene Aravena and she has a fractured patella which she has already had surgery on which was a success. Whether success means being able to ride again in the future i dont know

I'm quite certain he's a great coach (strength and cycling). Because I hear him quoted (either directly or indirectly) almost every day from @Quinn8it . Just a little mock complaining.
