comment Velodrome atmospheric conditions
@R.Chung Hm, good point.. but shouldn't matter much in this case, right? I guess the rolling resistance would be a constant value added to the required-power, and the default barometric-pressure/humidity values are fine and arbitrary (without knowing the "Olympic mandated" values)

comment What is a reasonable speed for long distances on a bike?
@mattnz good point, it was on different bikes, but they are all comparable (two road bikes, and a hybrid which has road tyres) - other factors caused far more noticeable variance

Mention speed over time, and multiple bikes

comment Is it possible to estimate road grade while riding?
I wonder how accurate it'd be if you attached the iPhone with a bike-mount, and zero'd the inclinometer application on a known-flat surface (with a spirit level, say)

comment List of UK hill climbs
Here is an explanation of how the climbs are categorised (essentially using the UCI calculation, but ignoring the subjective difficulty). This is what the segment explorer looks like - my only complaint is quite a few of the stepper segments are unsuitable to road-bikes, but this is hard to determine short of using street-view to check
