Secret Tip #11

Always train alone. If you train with other riders you will become familiar with riding in a bunch and will therefore become too comfortable riding in a bunch and less likely to try and breakaway during a race.

iBike and Red Hill

How accurate is the iBike?

The climb - Red Hill - 1.1 km long, 103 m ascent (9%)
The time - 3:30 min

Average Power:
iBike = 396 W
cycle2max.com - 393 W

That's pretty close..............

btw, 3:30 min ain't that fast, but I'll take on challengers !

Early Starters

As any consumate professional knows, training for next season starts as soon as you finish the last race of the current season.


So, it is no surprise to see that Team QUON have already commenced pre-season training for the 2007-08 CCC Criterium Season...

iBike and the CCC Criteriums

Tonights B grade criterium couldn't have been that hard - the iBike showed average power of 180 W. No wonder so many B graders then lined up for the A grade race (although most then pulled out?)

Training Camp Life

Ever wondered what the Team Velo Canberra hard men (and women) get up to on their "training camps"?

New Toy

secrettraining.com has obtained an iBike for analysis. Over the coming days and weeks, we will test it's accuracy against known power measurements, as well as having a number of riders testing it out in the real world.

Secret Tip #10

To finish first, first you must finish.
(eg. not clipping pedals and crashing)

Secret Tip #09

Always catching a cold?

Sleep with the windows closed, no air-conditioning and the sheets pulled up, this way you'll sweat out any germs before they can do you any harm.
