'Dale Posted April 15, 2014 Share Do the drag benefits of high altitude count for more than the negative aerobic effects?Interesting. Definitely To eliminate oxygen deficit, just acclimatize Some of the earlier records were set at altitude Edited April 15, 2014 by ' Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guy in Pink Posted April 15, 2014 Share Do the drag benefits of high altitude count for more than the negative aerobic effects?Interesting.Yes Cycling is about the only sport to benefit from high altitude.Even without any altitude acclimatisation Merck set his record at Mexico city.

Red Zone Posted April 16, 2014 Share Yeah, it would be good to see it being "revived". Slight tangent, for some insight into what it takes to prep for the race of truth, read this: I bought "The Hour" t yesterday thanks to your tip, its sitting right up there with the best cycling books I have read, although I am only about 15% through it Tumbleweed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't spoil it for you, but it gets even better when the UCI get involved. Farcical at times…as one would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted May 19, 2014 Share Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky) expressed interest in making a run at the hour record now that the UCI has reversed its previous decision and will allow competitors to use bikes that comply with rules for endurance competition on the track. The ruling, which came out earlier this week, allows aero bars, disc wheels and aero helmets. http://www.cyclingne...-in-hour-record Edited May 19, 2014 by Tumbleweed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
