"I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it." J.P. in Grandma's Boy (2006).

Did you get robot legs? :D I am thoroughly impressed!

I'm like a broken record. Get the D3O elbow pads (body armor). Wear them under arm warmers or buy a set of sleeves. You won't even notice them. Until you crash.:)

Just curious, why did you use round rings?

I would love to ride your (probably) excellent roads, but riding the 800 miles to get there would defeat the purpose. ;)

That's an excellent idea. It's basically a pneumatic shock absorber.

For me, it was also the shoulders. With a different seat, the whole upper seat and headrest are out a ways from the point of vibration, so the seat and headrest both act as a big shock absorber. I find it more comfortable than the stock seat and extra padding. If you can accomplish acceptable...

If I remember correctly, the Volae seat alone was about $300, the associated Ventisit pad was about $100, the ADEM 2C Standard headrest was $120, and the Ventisit pad plus shipping overseas for the ADEM headrest was $44, for a total of $564 - not cheap, but well worth the difference in my...

I weigh about 168 pounds. The big difference is probably that I have the Volae seat and maybe you do not. The roads here can be harsh. But the seat compensates effectively.

I now run 25 mm Continental Grand Prix 4000s II tires at 120 psi. Very fast.

Here's another installment in the ongoing saga of the Thursday night A ride for your viewing torture.

You still need some D3O body armor.

I am also thinking of getting an aero wheel for the front (drive) wheel on the V. I'm down to limited options now to get faster. Like shaving my arms and legs. I need to get past the 35 mph limit on the flats to beat the really strong guys.

I did the 100-mile ride for the Coast Guard festival today. It was a nice 61 degrees when I rode out from my house. After a couple of hours into the ride it really started to heat up. The only time we felt it was when we slowed down - so we kept on riding hard and stayed cool. I was following...

I use a Lemond g-force RT recumbent exercise bike. So I don't put wear and tear on my road bike in the winter. The Lemond exercise bike is very quiet also.

If you're not used to riding long distance, I would also add some ibuprofen tablets, a few Excedrin tablets, and some caffeine tablets as a backup just in case. The pain pills are for pain (such as back pain). The caffeine is to give you a boost when you need it (I don't carry it any anymore...

A Cree dual LED headlight and a Cree battery lasted me all night at the N24HC. One headlight and one big fat battery will run you about $55. If you're not riding all night, then the headlight comes with a smaller battery and charger that work well for normal rides. Then you're only in the...

I have one leftover Q-ring I would like to sell. This one was only used a little, and then I swapped it out for a slightly smaller inner ring to better match my cogset. So it is almost in mint condition. These are around $90 each new online. I am asking $60 plus shipping costs. I accept...

Larry, here's what you need. The Predator Berserker. $890. Custom paint job. 4.8 pounds. Probably not enough ventilation. Not as aerodynamic. But one look at you, and your competition will drive off the road.
