Coming Soon: The benefits (and cost benefit) of Wind Tunnel testing

During the past two years I have begun to coordinate wind tunnel sessions at the University of Washington.  To date we have run nearly 20 athletes through the tunnel with an average savings of ~45 seconds per/hour.  When you look at the relative cost of $650 per/rider that is far more cost effective than a new set of $2500 wheels.  That's not to say that wheels and equipment don't make a difference, because they do.  Rather, a tunnel session can provide a lot of gain for not a ton of $.  More to come...
