Start: Winters, TX
End: Sweetwater, TX
Weather: Ice & Snow
Miles: 48+
Today was miserable.

I made a mistake today not checking the weather properly. I knew the forecast for today was to be colder, but the last knowledge I had of today’s weather was from two days ago when I was in Austin, TX. Without a cell signal or internet, I left this morning at 10am and the temperature was 50 degrees. I should have been aware of the conditions before I left Winters, TX. I should have at …

Fossil 50 Recap – 2nd Place Dale Dawson

by Paul Dentel        www.wattposseracing.com

What a great weekend in Glen Rose, Tx at the Fossil 50!  We started  out crossing the Paluxy river and then were lead out across a grass field.  After the river Paul and I were close to the front and ready to go!  Well I thought I was.  Following the field, the course climbed for quite awhile up some gnar rocky double-track.  And oh man did the pace quicken!  A group at the very front blasted off faster than I had even imagined straight up this steady, long climb.  I settled in a small 2nd group and just kept the leaders in sight.  The start was so fast in fact, within miles strong riders I knew were popping off the front.  And then the dreaded.  I see Paul pull off with …

Heat Consequences of Aero Road Helmets

By: Zack Allison BS. Source Endurance Senior Coach        texasbikeracing.com

While sitting on the couch between races at the 2013 Gateway Cup, the Think Finance p/b Trek Stores Cycling Team and two Source Endurance coaches jumped into a discussion on aero road helmets. The weather for this particular race weekend in Saint Louis was an average of around 100F at each of the races. The major question was if the aerodynamic benefit of aero helmets outweighs the power loss from overheating on a hot day. We decided to try and find studies on the subject of whether aero helmets cause power loss due to overheating. We knew it would be a task to find applicable studies on overheating from a specific type of helmet but we did our best.
First we looked at the aerodynamic benefit of aero helmets. The study Benchmark of Aerodynamic Cycling Helmets Using a Refined Wind Tunnel Test Protocol for Helmet Drag Research by Stephanie Sidelko of MIT, compared 10 different aero helmets to a standard road helmet on …
