Actually, I know exactly what WB is saying. For me, biking is something I do cuz it feels good. I ride by my senses - feel, balance, noise, vision, and found the whole CSS thing too mathmatical, too clinical.

I'm sure if I'd followed it to the letter I would have been a far better racer - there was plenty of room for improvement! But I found that I was enjoying the way I rode, even if it wasn't the fastest way round a track. Dissecting the ride into a simple set of actions spoiled the enjoyment for me.

I ride for pleasure, and I don't have that drive to be the fastest guy out there, to set ever better lap times. I ride for the feeling that riding a perfect corner gives me. Understanding the exact physics behind it somehow detracts from the whole experience.

So thanks Keith, but no thanks. Do wave as you ride past though eh? Wink
