I have no cycling experience short of riding the local hardware store CCM 10 speed as a kid. I've been looking for other options for cardio and thought maybe a road bike may be a good alternative. Where does one start and learn the basics, I see Ivan talking about cadence etc, so you don't just hop on and pedal as hard as you can as long as you can? If someone can give me or steer me to the source of some insight it would be appreciated.
Rich Rohrich said:Roy - The only events I plan on racing are the Match Sprint (200 meter), the flying 500 meter time trial, the Kilo (standing start 1000 meter), and the 3000 meter pursuit.
With the exception of the pursuit the distances, favor power and speed over aerobic capacity, which is probably why I've always preferred them. Standard power training in the gym using squats, deadlifts, and cleans has proven to pretty useful complement to on the bike speed training for me in the past. The pursuit has always been my weakest event, but I did win a Masters 10k time trial championship race in the past. I figure with the right training I'm can at least keep from embarrassing myself in the pursuit race. :)
I'll just have to build the correct type of engine for each event. ;)
Here's a table that shows how the basic systems contribute to each event.
