@pedalingprimemover 4 года назад

For the same air temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, etc., descending in Boulder should be about 5% faster than at sea level. If your 7.5 hour power is really the same at 1500 m, it might be worth a trip. It also could be worth modeling this further w.r.t. optimizing power output climbing versus descending. Source: A chart on Wikipedia for density versus elevation but I did do a PhD in aerodynamics.

@winstoncat6785 4 года назад

Great comment. It had occurred to me after Keegan's record that the aerodynamic advantage during descents was being neglected by many people and may be the most important factor of all. Definitely should be taken account of when planning a serious attempt on the record.

@philipk4475 4 года назад

@@winstoncat6785 I highly doubt it. The reduced oxygen at altitude will do far more damage than a 5% difference in descending time could ever compensate. After all, you're spending almost 10x as much time climbing than descending, so an improvement of even 1% in climbing time due to higher oxygen will offset all possible air pressure gains while descending.

@haberdi 4 года назад

@@philipk4475 The air temp, pressure, humidity, wind speed being the same is a big "if" - pressure at altitude is lower, as is temp (generally). The reduced oxygen is a bigger factor on power output/efficiency as you said. Perhaps someone smarter than I can calculate the optimal altitude and atmospheric weather conditions to maximize everesting efficiency.

carlos gaspar MVDP is insanely good, no denying that, but I think Lachlan Morton is better for true all around cycling. Lachlan can race top level road, and he’d be competitive (not worlds best, but good) at literally every other discipline. I doubt MVDP could win GBDuro, top 5 Dirty Kanza, an Everesting record, and all the other ultra endurance stuff Lachlan does without losing a bit of his edge on the 1 to 5 hour events he’s so good at

@esotericbikeclub3018 4 года назад

Matt Bettwy Exactly I’m not going to mention any other riders, because all the pros are insanely good at something. That’s why they are pros. Maybe my favorite rider and who I think is the best all around rider is based on accomplishments and also it’s somewhat subjective. Look at what Lachlan has done this past year, 2 crazy accomplishments this past month alone, and tell me the kid isn’t one of the best.

@gustavorincon1640 4 года назад

ambient temperature and humidity are important factors to consider as well at altitude (improved cooling has a huge effect on performance). And as you noted, power drop is small under 1000 1500 meters, over 2000 is where the drop gets very significant

@kc3718 4 года назад

the maths can't be too complex, it's th same as they do for the different hour record attempts at altitude and sea level factoring in the humidity ,air pressure, temperature etc etc for this local katabatic and anabatic winds aswell as surface rolling resistance may play a part in the equation. I recall Wiggins saying if the tempeature or humidity had been the usual level when he did his hour record he would have gone 400 metres further or some such figure.

@calvinjonesyoutube 4 года назад

The altitude question is interesting. I remember Wiggins doing the hour record and people talking about the fact the air pressure was to high that day, and that he was doing it near sea level. I`m pretty sure slightly lower air pressure via altitude or weather is going to be an advantage. There must be a performance coach watching this who has a spreadsheet to give you a quantitative answer on what is optimal for you.

@billinhouston3291 4 года назад

"Should I wear comfortable shoes, since I will end up pushing the bike?"

@ai314159 4 года назад

A bit of research suggests a 10% decrease in critical power at 2000 meters. At 300 W vs. 270 W for a 15 minute climb, you lose about 1:20 climbing, while descending at the higher altitude only gains about 20 seconds. So overall you'd expect to be about a minute slower for each lap. Over 30 laps, it should be possible for Lachlan to get close to 7 hours near sea level.

@worstretirementever 4 года назад

That’s threshold power. I don’t think that power loss is linear at z2 or z3. I feel like my tempo was more like 5 watts lower if at all when acclimated

@ai314159 4 года назад

@@worstretirementever Yeah the break-even point would very roughly be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 W.

@philipk4475 4 года назад

How do you get the improvement of 20s while descending? I'd like to see the maths there

@philipk4475 4 года назад

@@worstretirementever You're correct, it's untrue that power loss due to reduced oxygen follows a linear response with respect to power. I would imagine the loss would start to get very noticeable over threshold, while at z2 or z3 it would be marginal if you're well acclimated. However, I think the break even point would be in the neighbourhood of 5 W, if not less. This is first and foremost because you upwards of 7x more time on the climb than on the descent, so balacing out a 5% improvement on the descent (as per the other comment - I don't trust the numbers of a 20 second gain on a 74 second descent, that's not going to happen! (going with the descending time on Lachlan's ride here)) requires less than a 1% improvement in your climb. A 5 W higher power will result in greater than a 1% improved climbing time, so I'd do it at low altitude if possible. If you want to improve air resistance, just pick a day as warm as you can tolerate. Nevermind the increased risk of fast descending!

I just got home (to Florida) from 2 weeks training in New Mexico at altitude. Averaged 6500 ft. Sustainable power improvement is pretty noticeable. Great video, as always. Love your story telling. Good luck with training and No Kids Hungry 😁😎

@georgehugh3455 4 года назад

Intuitively, I would tend to agree with the OP. Get the altitude conditioning, but more power near sea level when you're comparatively slower is going to have a much greater effect on your overall time, than trading that off for Mach 1 descents. If you _really_ think altitude makes no diff to your power, try a semi-max 10k climb at SL and altitude.

The benefit of thinner air for downhill speed is not nearly as great as the benefit of higher power at sea level. What will make a big difference is the length of the climb. The longer the climb (given it is straight), the higher your overall average downhill speed will be because of less braking required at the bottom

@philc9305 4 года назад

My own small obvious observation is that the big top speed on descents differential between you and Lachlan 100km vs 60km and the weather conditions such as temp and wind...less calories and oxygen spent on cooling and fighting wind more calories towards VAM were the main differences.

How much does a dropper post weigh? Can't see that math working out. Single speed - no way. You need to be able to pedal out of the saddle at times and that requires an extra gear already. Disc brakes also no way because of weight, and ideally you only need to brake once every lap, and well adjusted rim brakes are fine for that.

You'd have to figure out the right balance between altitude (top and bottom of the climb) with your power output and also figure out the right temperature, as hotter is better but then concern over hydration and overheating. Cold air is much more dense - hence altitude gains can be overtaken by cool air. Way too many variables to allign to make it perfect, but if all right, reckon 6h is the time to smash and make it a new "hour record".
