Hi all, only 4 slots left of the May session!

Hi everyone,

During the past few years I have been working with the University of Washington and Len Brownlie (of Aerosports Research) to setup two wind tunnel sessions a year in an effort to provide folks from the Pacific Northwest with a local option at nearly half the cost of sessions at other low-speed wind tunnels. A group of five riders took part in our first session in March 2011 and we had the following results:

(Note: If the following table doesn't come through well the best result was 238 seconds of savings in a 40k TT. Average improvement was ~60 seconds.)

Here is a video of Len talking about aero stuff: http://www.slowtwitch.com/...Air_Attack_2861.html

Here are the details:
- Session Cost: $675 per/rider (with a max of 5 riders per day of session)
- What's included: ~2 hours of tunnel time, professional consulting, and a testing program desiged around your goals (e.g. equipment or position changes, various wind angles, etc.). You'll also receive a summary report and DVD of your session. (In full transparancy it took a while for our riders to receive their summary and DVD during our last session and I've taken steps to make sure this doesn't happen in the future, but it may take a while.)
- Tunnel: University of Washington's Low-Speed Wind Tunnel in Seattle
- Consulting: Len Brownlie of Aerosports Research

Dates:
5/3 and 5/4 - 4 slots available and times are chosen based on a first come first serve basis
