I went through a similar exercise with my Garmin 520 earlier in the season: Garmin charges fine with cable on the bench or on the bike. Garmin loves me and I love it back! Custom data screens! Then later: Why the hell can't I see my Garmin when I connect it to my computer? Bad Garmin! Bad...

I replaced the stock seat with a Volae seat and I love it. Surprisingly, I have no back pain on the Vendetta, ever. You don't have to worry about spinal compression on a Vendetta. The force of hitting a hole will be perpendicular to the surface of your back at the shoulder blade level. Kind of...

Personally, I just put on the newly waxed chain and go. I don't feel any difference. I did that for the N24HC with no problems and it worked fine.

Well rats, Ratz.

I left out state priorities: Secede from the union (Texas) Marry your sister (Alabama?) Worst roads (Michigan) 2nd place in obesity (Michigan) Most cyclists run over at once (Michigan again!)

Americans have priorities: 1) Run cyclists off the road. 2) Don't get shot. 3) Lose a hundred pounds of body fat. 4) Go into debt. 5) Make more money. . . . 999) Worry about being invaded by Canada. 1000) Try to learn the metric system.

I'm still recovering from the N24HC and taking it mostly easy, but group riders don't know that, so they're expecting me to hammer. All speed is fair game on A-rides. On yesterday's group A-ride (at a "nice" LBS, not the "dick" LBS) I was pulling around the group to do an easy 25mph pull into...

Well, I just can't catch a break. Not only did I get beaten out of first place in my age group of 33 riders by 1.2 miles, but the results book was just published, and they had previously made a mistake regarding my being the most improved male. Now, that person apparently beat me by only 1.7...

I think he has a vested interest in maintaining the old paradigm and doesn't recognize the Vendetta as a disruptive innovation.

The official event overview is available. There are some interesting trends. Fifty-five percent of riders were from out if state this year. Also, there were 272 registered riders and 240 of them posted mileage. Maybe that means 32 dropped out on the first loop? The average mileage was 264.2...

Good point. If you're going to dis a bike, don't dis one called Vendetta.

The first time I saw him, he was falling back from the lead group very early on. I think that's when he got dropped from the lead group. The next time I saw him, I was over 400 miles, and he was shining a chair with his butt. So he must have thrown in the towell at some point. His distance...

He was 29 out of 33 in Larry's and my age group. We both beat him by a wide margin. His distance was 191.5 miles. He was ranked 188th overall. You could say his performance was unremarkable. Or, you could say it was a smackdown. ;) Larry only rode 15 hours, got 13th out of 33, and still beat...

The official results have been posted. This is too funny. The guy who got first place in my age group beat me by only 1.2 miles. http://www.n24hc.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2016-Class-Results.pdf

I received an unofficial email from the person who compiled the results. He sent the results off to the web hosting company, so they should be posted soon. Apparently, I placed 10th overall out of 272 registered riders. And I placed 2nd in my age group out of 33 riders. So I feels good and my...

He was joking, right?

Well, wonders never cease for CruzBikers. I got this email today: Joe - Congratulations! You are our Most Improved Male Rider for 2016. Your ride of 423.1 miles exceeds your previous average by 176.8 miles. It looks like your training really paid off. All the best, - Pete Steve, Registrar...

Kevin was, in his own words, in pretty bad shape. He was dehydrated and had stomach issues. He knew he had to stop when he couldn't even drink water. When he did finally stop, he vomited. That was at 1:00 AM. He had to get to a hotel and couldn't keep anything down until Sunday morning. He had...

The LBS owner was at the awards ceremony and saw the whole thing. He was in my age group, but I don't know how he did yet. Not so well I think because his whole group and shop's tent were located just past the loop 3 checkpoint and I saw him sitting there with the group as I came through after I...
