Yup... I love this too. With no extra effort I usually pick up 2kph just like that. Most excellent.Originally Posted by eclectic
FYI - just for fun. Last Wed night we were on a 30 mile ride and for the last 8 miles I went down into aero and picked up 1.5 mph so we were averaging about 19 mph - a friend (who always drops me) was riding behind me and kept hollering out - "slow down! you are an animal - you are killing me" Where is the evil smiley when I need it?
I guess this is another advantage on an enduro ride - you will cover some of the course a little quicker because your profile on aeros means less wind shadow which means you go faster.
The other aspect to this also is you are less tired for the same effort, as you are pushing less body resistence through the air...
Evil smiley substitute...
