Best Bike Split Founder Ryan Cooper

from Marginal Gains Cycling Podcast, Presented by Silca

Marginal Gainers are familiar with Best Bike Split -- the website where using rider data you can forecast a finish time on a specific course. It has been a great tool for years for amateurs and pros alike. Josh has frequently referenced BBS on the show. Fatty and Hottie have discussed it on their Leadville Podcast. But we wanted to know what is under the hood. For that we turn to its founder Ryan Cooper. Before Best Bike Split, Ryan was a lot like us: a competitor with the hopes of going faster. Unlike most of us, he's really good at math. His ability to come up with equations and sus out variables gave him the tools to invent Best Bike Split. But the inspiration was more of an experiment -- a story will leave for him. In the interview, Ryan shares what he can about how BBS comes up with its forecasted times. He also talks about some new features he has in the works like factoring in tarmac conditions to better hone in on times.  Ryan also wants listeners to get a taste of BBS and he is extending a discount to listeners of the pod. Use the code MARGAINS25 for a discount and as Ryan says: Race smarter. Ride faster. Win more.
