Last night was an experiment with the drops for me. I'm glad I stuck with them, so that I could get a good idea of what's going on.
Clearly they're great for consistency, but I'd guess they're adding between 0.5 and 1.0 seconds to my times - probably something to do with my lifelong hip injury, which is the reason I'm so much stronger out of the saddle (on the road) than in it.
I should've been riding in a white lab coat and safety goggles last night for the full effect.
Looking forward to 4-up racing on the rollers - badtmy, do you fancy being my madison partner? I don't know about you, but I was always faster in relays on the athletics track :)
