Get into the Wind Tunnel with HSP on June 24th

Saturday June 6, 2009

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to optimize your TT position with wind tunnel testing. On June 23rd, HSP is collaborating with the Kirstin Wind Tunnel at the University of Washington to get you dialed in.

The rider and bicycle are tested in three configurations; the bicycle alone, the bicycle & rider before, and the bicycle & rider after. Each configuration is evaluated at speeds between 15 mph and 35 mph. While in the adjustment phase, the bike, rider and coach are in the tunnel with the wind set at 20 mph. Using various flow visualization techniques, real-time force feedback, and video projection, the rider’s position is adjusted to produce the optimal posture for aerodynamic efficiency and power generation.

We will have a complete staff on hand with expertise in aerodynamics, sports physiology, and competitive cycling to provide both a professional atmosphere and individualized attention. The rider will receive one-on-one personal time with our experienced coaches and staff throughout the evaluation.

Test time in tunnel is 1 hour (This does not include prep time, warm up, etc.). We will provide separate stations for preparation, warm up and pre & post test consultation

Riders will experience a comprehensive evaluation in the wind tunnel and will receive a CD containing the following:

*A calculation of bicycle and rider reference areas

*A summary of drag and power data and for each riding posititon

*Projected performance increase

*A Dartfish instructional video containing key coaching points and recommendations annotated by expert consultants

*Photos documenting the entire experience, including various riding positions

Total Cost: $595.00 per rider
