<p>My friend and I did a local club race sunday, most of the fireworks were on the early climbs so we were able to compare our files after. Atthe top of the climb that produced most of these numbers, he and another rider were maybe 75m ahead of me. He weighs about 140 and has a 14 lbs bike, I am 178 and have a 23 lbs bike. It's an interesting illustration for the effect of mass when climbing a hill:</p>
