Notes from the blogosphere....

Robert Chung uploaded this interesting graphic to the wattage list. It shows an estimated wattage to CdA to speed relationship.

And in another post Alex Simmons has posted an update to his famous Seven Deadly Sins called The Sins of Sins (Testing FTP #2).

Michel Pelletier sends news from Trans-Alps

Hello everyone,
Just finished day 3 of our 7 days TransAlp Tour/Race. My partner and I are doing quite good considering that I totally forgot how big and steep these hills are in Europe and I was still “highly undertrained” for the speed I wanted to go up these hills at in order to follow the leading teams.

THANK GOD, my partner Paul is a stronger climber than I am and he his being a HUGE help in getting my overly heavy body up these slopes following these “ skinny legged riders”... :-) Yes Nola, your hubby is doing a great job as my partner. Am I ever glad I brought him along!!

We are presently in 12th position ( out of 180 team) within our Master Division and we are 64th out of the 492 team which are left after 3 days of riding. We started at 575 teams but the somewhat hard conditions forced a few teams to go home early!

The weather has been fine so far, only a tad bit of rain yesterday and today was glorious!!

You can take a look at the website: http://www.tourtransalp.de/englisch/index.asp

Tomorrow is somewhat of a rest day, only 91.19kms! This will be our shortest day of the tour! http://www.tourtransalp.de/download/profile09/etappe4.pdf

As you can see from the picture on the link I have attached, it isn’t actually a flat course but hey, flat courses are for whimps right!!

Wish me luck people! I am having a blast out here!!


Cheers
