CdA Calculator

The document appears to contain data from cycling tests, including power output, wind speed, grade, and other metrics. It includes a regression analysis that finds a very strong correlation (R^2 of 0.9996) between power output and a calculated value that incorporates air resistance, grade, and other factors. It also provides confidence intervals for estimates of cyclist-bike drag area and finds a value of 0.29 m^2. Additional cycling test data is presented along with calculations of air density based on temperature, humidity and pressure measurements.
