Time trials, oh how I love to go fast in a straight line and have nothing in my head but BPM, RPM and the seconds ticking away. Race of truth is what they call it in some circles. The only competion is what you have living inside your head and the capacity of your lungs. Perhaps lactic thresh hold plasy into it but only to a certain extent.

Cervelos P2 SL is the bike of choice with that nice rear wheel cut out and an affordable price tag. I've heard more than one tale of cylcist who have converted from triathlons after riding this bike.

After all, swimming is what you do to keep from drowning and running is what you do when you are chased.
