When you are actually out there riding for hours and hours at a time it’s amazing what you think about. Breaking long rides into segments just makes it easier for me to visualize and plan my strategy. Best wishes for your brevets
Well done Regan, really clear explanations of the formula. It would be interesting to see a comparison of historical riding speed declines for riding brevets of different distances.
I am certain you are correct Blair. There must be a decline in average speed with progressive increases in brevet distances. This may be easier to assess in Saskatchewan where the elevation gain is minimal. However, the unpredictable strong winds may be a confounding factor. I will work on this in a future video. Thanks for the comment.
It's easy 600km is 36 hours tops with no sleep. Then if doing a 1200 km audax just ride 36 hours sleep 8 hours and ride another 36 hours that gives you loads of time
That's great!
I was not thinking about segments for longer brevets until now. It makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Very interesting!
I am glad you found the information to be of value. I will try to produce some videos of application of the formula to various brevet distances.

why bother with it so much? it's just cycling as best you can without getting too tired.
