Everybody is different, but in my tests I have proven (at least for me), that I loose power making capabilities as I lay in a more reclined position. There might be some amount of "training" in a position that might give your body the ability to adapt to its highest power level at that position...

Not sure if you have a power meter or not, but if you have the cash and interest - that would be a great investment. As "nobrakes" said above - it is the best way to gauge performance. Once you know you 1-hr FTP level (avg watts you can put out for an hour), then you can monitor your power...

Generally speaking the wind is usually not as bad early in the morning. That is when I would usually do my TT. Now that I have moved to the beach - it seems like it is windy all the time, but still not as severe in the early morning

Hey Mathew - Congrats on your fitness level. The "Climbing Road Race" has helped I am sure and has given you a wonderful endurance base to build on. Yes, I would switch over to the 40k block. Since this is an 8 week plan. I would suggest going forward with your mid-volume plan , then take a week...

Hello Everyone, Well the first week is over and what a huge turnout! We had 53 people ride their TT for week #1! - a record by far! What a fantastic group and I thank each of you for participating. I counted people from 17 states in the US, and riders from Australia(1), UK(4), New Zealand (1)...

Update: If you have not sent me your ride for last week, please get it to me tonight. Great news: We already have 55 people listed in the event! Amazing group from all over the world! If you did not ride last week and still want to join, you can still ride this week and just miss the 1st week

The rules state you must ride the same "type" - so you can't start with upright and move to recumbent. But you could ride any recumbent bike if using bents, or any upright bike - reg or TT if starting on upright.

We had to pick distance. Sure 12 miles is short to a speedster like you (but just ride a slower bike if you want it to take longer), but we have people riding Quests and S40's and other less efficient bike - some are spending an hour riding as hard as they can. Maybe we should have a total watts...

Everyone is a critic! :rolleyes: Hey Jason, I am happy to consider other Challenges and we may even add a few if Cruzbike approves of them. But most time trialers will tell you that higher cadence is better because the load on your legs for the same power is significantly less which means you...

Just be consistent. I get on the scale each morning in the my birthday suite. It is used for the Watts/KG stat, so less is more, but 1 or 2 lbs of gear is not going to make all that big of a difference.

Jason, If you want to make your 12mile TT a 6 mile climb up the steepest mountain to you can find followed by a hair-raising decent - go for it. There is really no limitation to the amount of climbing your Segment can have. I merely suggested as flat a route as possible as that will be the...

The frames for the Vendetta or Silvio are really too high for a lower-racer. They both are very fast and can be tuned to your body size to be extremely aero, but you just can't get that low on either of them.

OK - I have double checked with Cruzbike - They have OK'd the inclusion of the "Fuego Du lollipop" Zwift Segment for anyone who would rather ride the Zwift segment for the 2020 TT Challenge. Only caveat is that you cannot switch back and forth from outdoors and Zwift (That is was the PITA really...

.. It is not that I am "so" against this - but making it work for both is a ton of work and "cheating" is so much easier on Zwift too. Are we going to require everyone to take a picture of their scale and what they have listed for their weight on Zwift each week? How can we confirm that they are...

Sorry - That was only for the "winter version" last year, which I did not do this year since I was in the throngs of moving - It was a real pain to allow both Zwift and "real" - Plus outside is so much more realistic. :rolleyes:

Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020 What is it? The 2020 Cruzbike Time Trial (TT) Challenge Series is a 21-week cycling challenge that is created and administered by Larry Oslund. It is officially approved by Cruzbike. Week #1 will begin on Monday May 4th - and last through Sunday Sept 27th...

You are Awesome Marco - Your Inglish is not por!

You can write you TR programs in Zwift and still execute your workout while riding around it Zwift. I do it all the time!

I have been to every retreat since they started - even though I am 5 hours farther away now after moving to Hilton Head Island- I will have to find a way to o to it! :) See you in Oct!:p:cool:

"Magic" is what John M and Cruzbike "officially" named the protoype - wasn't my first choice - and I guess I should follow your lead and give it my own name!
