Old La Honda Hillclimb Power Calculator

Uh-oh. This hillclimb calculator requires JavaScript and if you see this message, either you have JavaScript support disabled or your browser doesn't appear to support it. This is probably prudent in a world where the innate nature of Man is both base and callow, but if you want to correctly view and use this calculator please enable JavaScript.

For these calculations I presume no wind, constant speed, constant grade, racing crouch, smooth tires, and the power equations on page 157 of Whitt and Wilson, Bicycling Science, 2nd Ed., 1982, Cambridge: MIT Press. Distance is measured as distance traveled (i.e., cyclometer distance) not horizontal distance, but for grades of less than 15% or so the difference is pretty negligible.
