Testing VCF Riders Set up!

[Announcement]
Hi All As you know during recent times we have recived from fellow VCF riders about certain doubts about Martin Hulberts Rides also Martin has doubted at time his own rides so i arranged to go and Vist martin at home to try the setup for my self as well as the VCF Leauges point a veiw.Martin stated to the VCF that he had no problems in being tested so we thank martin in his wiliness to be tested. So as follows i went to Martins house and did the tests i rode martins trainer first in frount of Martin to reproduce my ride i did in the VCF Descent ride as this one one of the main conceans of rides how this ride could be done at such a speed and HR I rode my ride with no pacers and flat out as hard as i could in a time of 5:49 on my own trainer,so then done on on Martins trainer started slightly faster but maintained my speed to the end i was slighlty faster when graphs were overlapped they were identical apart from the very start as i did go harder from go so that was pleasing to see next Martin rode the ride he first put up on the board also 5.49 but with a av hr of below 100bpm so martin was asked to try to reproduce that ride as near as possible baring in mine also Martin was not to well on this night as his family was also ill but still was able to get very close to the ride he did i was watching very closely at the watts and hr which was just over the 100 mark as he used the same pacers as he first used never out of the draft the whole ride martin is able to use the virtual pacers to great effects at all times they work very well for him lucky lad. Ater this ride the two graphs were looked at they were identical very slight difference this was using my trainer at this point so no complaints there point was proving with the first test also my ride on Martins trainer were the same no problem good result. Second test was also the same ride but this time flat out with the pacers he used yet again from his fast ride Martin used 1 real pacer 4 virtual pacers yet again to great effect in the draft at all times his time for his fast ride was 5:10 at the end of this test on my trainer his time was 5:13 slightly slower just but he went flat out baring in mind the guy was unwell but again produced the same ride as the graphs showed which in my mind there is no douts at all as i was there to wittness this for the leauges which again was great result for Martin and the VCF leauges. I would like to state on behalf of the VCF leauges that if we recive any kind of complaints, query's,or concearns we do take this seroius to try to keep this as fair as possible for everyone involed and must state this was not personal in any way but we have been conceared with riders comments so we have acted on it and appraoched martin for this issue which Martin was happy to show and be tested Thanks Martin. Martin has requested that this was to be made public to everyone so riders that were conceared can now see this was looked at and problem solved( NO PROBLEMS FOUND FROM TESTS and witnessed by a VCF Member STEVE NEWTON.) So i would like to thank Martin Hulbert for his time in doing the tests cheers.
