From Montreal Canada we welcome back Marc Graveline. Marc was one of the founders of the original Notio aero testing device. He has developed his own aero testing gadget (The Gizmo) which is being used by professional testers and hopefully will be available to the public at some point soon. Marc had the opportunity to aero optimize Philanthropist Sylvan Adams and he went through the process used to find significant aero gains, enough help Sylvan to an age group championship at the recent UCI World Championships in Glascow, Scotland. 

If you would like to get in touch I am @markflorence11 and cyclingtimetrialpodcast@gmail.com.

Thanks for tuning in and please spread the word about the show.

How to be a faster cyclist: Focus on problems over products.

In 1994, Graeme Obree successfully broke the world hour record on a homemade bicycle he’d put together with leftover scrap and some old bearings from a washing machine.

Despite race officials attempting to block him intermittently as he rode around the track and the governing body trying to legislate him back into obscurity, this was a man who had the foresight to focus on the problem associated with going as fast as possible on a bike and the instincts to know how best to find a solution, no matter how radical.

When it comes to getting faster, there’s always a raft of cool equipment to buy or upgrade to. Sadly, if you were hoping I was going to recommend buying wheel X or handlebar Y in this podcast, you’re going to be disappointed.

Many thanks for the downloads and support. I can be reached at cyclingtimetrialpodcast@gmail.com and @markflorence11
