Musing about body weight for ultra events.
In conventional bike riding watts per/kg is king, right?
But given the demands that ultra events have on the body, is it wise to start events carrying a little extra? This way your body has fat reserves to dip in to...
If that's a totally wrong way of looking at it, fair enough - just wondered how important it really is to be 'race weight' for events that last a week or more.
