Racing has nothing to do with powerfiles


But I've been aiming for this one a long time so I'm gonna post it anyway. Its always been a personal goal to see that 4-0-0 watts on the computer for an hour.

This is the state TT course, a shade under 40km, ridden on my road bike. Fun course in the pouring rain! Had a blast but got beaten by Busche and Bean...by over 2 minutes each. I guess they make TT bikes for a reason?

Time was 53:40 according to the computer, although the results show 57:30. Not sure whats up there. Fun either way.

Tour of Utah on tap. Yeah. More altitude

400w average...nice. Would have figured 400 would have gotten you a faster time really. Some fast ones ahead of you for sure. But still, 400w is really good.

Well, he was jerking off to the powermeter during the entire time trial. 400 watts, ohhhhh, 400 watts, ohhh so good. Even, less aero.

Coming form me, this joke can't mean much.

I was banned from the powertap one time...Spring Break 2006. Don't worry there was a cardboard replacement wheel.
