marinyork said:In my experience FBA more than makes up for TBA going up hills. You can pull out massive chunks of time on climbs only to be overtaken and have that plus a couple of minutes taken out on the descent. FBA seems to have some magical properties on the flat where they can cruise along as 20mph forever.
My racebike is much faster than my road bike. On a long run I posted I did on a racebike it was 6mph quicker than the hybrid on average. On other runs it took 3 hours out of the century run. Three hours!
Dangerous word round here.
Fortunately, the 'M' word in this instance is "Inertia".
