I fit Donne Pedala athlete Jackie Batson last week. We made lots of changes to her road bike. Here is what Jackie wrote to me regarding how it felt on the road (un-solicited by the way!):
Jim,
My bike feels fabulous!! I think I forgot what it was supposed to feel like. I am able to utilize SO much more power, sore hips and thighs as proof! I cannot believe I have been racing my bike the way it was.
I may need a an adjustment on my mtn bike fit as well. ill let you know.
thanks for everything! jackie

Jim,
I want to thank you for doing such a great and professional job with my bike fitment. It was evident that you truly care about getting the best results and I have reaped the benefits. Since the changes that you made, I am now riding in a much more comfortable position and putting more power to the pedals. My only regret is that I didn’t have you make the changes sooner. Thanks again, Mike Renner

Many of you use and understand power/wattage data. Here’s an interesting look at two GCC athletes’ power profile for the April 25, 2010 Presque Isle TT–
Brad Beeson (yellow in graph below) averages 315 watts
Derek Wilford (red in graph below) averages 265 watts
Derek (265 watts) finishes in 29:57 and Brad in 31:07. Clearly an aerodynamic advantage on Derek’s side. This TT course is rather flat and always with significant wind at some point as it is on a peninsula in Lake Erie.
More soon as these two athletes answer some insightful questions regarding their equipment and fit!

Jim,
I had a great 30 mile ride tonight. Really felt more power, much less to no pain in hands and arms, and finished strong with a nice long 23 mph sprint. Thank you for your service and advice.
