Hey, nobody is going to weigh your bike I think.&lt;br&gt;2. increase your power output by about 8%. around 237 W&lt;br&gt;3. decrease your weight by about 8%. So aim for 165lb.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you do that you should be able to climb at 20.4 minutes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;:-) I know this is easily said than done.

As I rode the Zoo my heart-rate hovered between 180 and 184. 184 is the absolute highest I have ever seen for me on a bike. My resting heart rate is roughly 56. Out of curiosity.... can anyone explain what it means that I have a higher resting heart rate and apparently a higher max heartrae than Eric. I realize that everyone is unique but are there trends or generalizations that can be pulled from this information?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Chris (The shorter of the two in the Tazo jersey.)&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=473833" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: The Physics of Bicycle Climbing (oh, and a few words about a stupid bicycle climb)</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericgu/archive/2005/09/24/473683.aspx#473795</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Sep 2005 02:37:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:473795</guid><dc:creator>Eric Gunnerson</dc:creator><description>Sam,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don't usually talk about heart rate because it's doesn't really transfer from person to person, and my polar software only gives me averages for the whole workout, not the climb. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But, just for you, I pulled the info out and put it into Excel. My average heart rate for the climb was 166. I could have pushed a little more - I was okay at 171 - but that pushed me more to the limit of my muscle strength on the middle of the climb. I went and looked at my last ascent, and I averaged about 161.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Right now, while watching football on the couch (and with the Seahawks leading 34-12), my resting heart rate is 42. &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=473795" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
