to CRUSH everyone else. Tom Danielson absolutely DESTROYED the record for riding up Mt. Evans this weekend (14,000' monster in Colorado), and he did it on his stock team issue bike(ok, he had SRM cranks on it). I've hefted these things before and they are NOT weight weenie bikes (shockingly heavy).

Just imagine how fast he would have been if he would have used a light bike

or if the weather hadn't sucked so bad. Or if the field had been interested in trying to break the record. The race started out incredibly slow, and Tom jumped away very early and just drove solo. Just astounding.
28 miles of climbing, wow, Alpe d'Huez eat your heart out !!

almost everyone wore arwarmers, full gloves, many wore vests, knee or leg warmers, hats under helmets. It was maybe 45 degrees at the starting line, let alone up top!
The marmots were hiding from the cold!
It poured like crazy the night before, but no rain during the race kept people from getting wiped out frmo hypothermia.

I was training on a 15kg Apollo 1 today. Jumping on my Scott is like gaining the ability to fly.
Maybe Tom Danielson does a similar training/racing swap?
