Warpspeed 20k TT - Up to speed - 28:15

Switching to the Bontrager X-Lite Aero's has eliminated the speed problem, did the 20K in 28:15 which was good enough for 2nd in Cat 4. It would only have been 3rd if it had been a combined Cat 4/5, Andy Everson from Comox finished in 27:04. but was racing as Cat 5.

Note that power is almost identical for the two events, 316 vs 317 average watts.

Gerry van Ganz was 18 seconds back after beating me by 1:20 last week for the Aldergrove 16k TT.

Aldergrove had a slightly higher wind on the return leg than Warpspeed. But not enough to account for the difference in speed.

I can only conclude that the Zipp 404's with Tufo S33 Special tubulars where simply a very slow combination. See also Wheel Testing post.
