Comments

Nick commented on his own time: "Real gradient is 6.48 % , hence slight c2m power underestimate ."

Nick commented on his own time: "Head wind in the right hand curves , but mostly a very strong tailwind ."

Nick commented on his own time: "Strong headwind in last 2km section above the tree's ..plus the fog from Italy :-/ . Knackered after the Iseran hence time. ."

Nick commented on his own time: "Traveling from UK by car the day before , then short night in F1 hotel in Chambery definately added some 'sting' in the legs !"

Nick commented on his own time: "Was trying to use the climb to measure FTP, but my av HR of 158bpm suggests i was knackered ! FTP of 230 something on a good day by the looks of it."

John, if you take a picture of the starting point as it looks now & email it to the admin perhaps they would put it on the climb details . Also a google map on the climb would be very usefull as the finish point would become clearer as well . Create & save a new map for the route & send them the link & they might put it on . I have done similar with some of my climbs, but they were all climbs i created in the first place so there is a difference i must admit. cheers - Nick.

25 Jun 2010 6:21 AM posted in Steep gradiant or shallow gradiant: which is best?

Although it's possible to achieve the same intensity of workout on steep or shallow climbs , personally i find that the less steep ones are better. Basically because on a climb of around 4 to 6 percent it's easier to adjust your intensity / speed according to how you feel & there's less chance of going into the red & not being able to recover properly . Obviously you can slow down on a 10 % slope if you want ( given low enough gearing ) but riding at 8kmh while trying to recover enough to pick it up to 10kmh again is just a bit too much like turbo training in my experience ! Of course , if your actaully training for riding up something like the Mortirolo , then it's probably best to get used to lots of pain & little speed :-)

The Giro riders will be heading for some 'spectacular' mountain scenery fairly soon ! http://webcam.popso.it/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/IT/IDPagina/42# http://www.webcam.valtline.it/passoberninag.htm http://www.meteomin.it/WebCam/webcam_Zoncolan1.asp edited by Nick Muir on 16/05/2010 <em>edited by Nick Muir on 18/05/2010</em>

10 May 2010 8:53 PM posted in Breaks and circuit/hill climb times

On long climbs & occasions where chasing the clock is not my PRIMARY objective ( touring in the Alps for instance ) i stop the clock while taking a photo / filling a water bottle / taking off a jacket/ mending a puncture etc. Unless i stop the clock then the time / power i get compared with other attempts would be false - in other words a 10 minute stop for a puncture with the clock running would give me a time that would suggest i had lost a heap of fitness & power by comparison to my previous attempts without a puncture. Some people would rightly suggest that i shouldn't enter a time unless time WAS my primary objective perhaps, but i find that the record of climb times over the years is a very usefull & interesting thing to have even if they not strictly 'time trials' . I realise that this is very controversial & using a power meter has shown me how much my power jumps up for a minute or two after a short stop ! so realise it's 'cheating' a little to some extent . I don't stop the clock ( or stop at all if i can help it ! ) if my time is going to be anywhere near the top 10 in the rankings , but that doesn't occur very often unless i'm the only one who's done the climb ! <em>edited by Nick Muir on 10/05/2010</em>
