John :
Thanks for taking the bait. I didn't think to present it as a formula, just four data points. You certainly understood my point. I like your refinement much better :-)
I'll be in the basement polishing those 38t and 42t Chater Lea rings for the next build-up if you need me :-)

I think your formula needs some adjustment. Shouldn't we multiply by the age of the rider and elevation change rather than divide? Otherwise the older you get and greater the elevation change, the less macho you are when riding a fixed gear.
macho = ((chainring teeth)*(age)*(elevation change))/(cog teeth)
