Great idea! Might be the next phase of sit-stand and work-while-walking. Can you post a photo of how you have your workstation set up?

@Barefoot Biker does it have wireless shifting?

FWIW, I used a 650b rear wheel for the 6-hour race at Borrego Springs. Front end felt a little "heavier", but handling was fine for a relatively flat time trial with just four turns per lap. For a technical mountain descent, a 700c wheel would still be best.

That’s a fast century!

I think strength training aimed at core strength helps in all cases. For endurance rides/races it will help with control when fatigued.

Yes, when I did the race recon in Sep, that section from the stop sign headed south thru the S-curve down to the right-hand turn onto Borrego Springs Road was really bad. Rattle your fillings loose bad. Reminded me of Japanese massage chairs that shake you. They covered it with new chip seal...

I compared 6 segments, 3 flat and 3 not. Here is the ratio of Mark's power to yours for each: Mark/Jason Segment flat? 0.91747573 Wisconsin to Carlsbad Village Y 1.03755869 Carlsbad racetrack Y 1.02116402 Smelly...

Looks like you rode about 1/4 of the Borrego Springs big loop. Pavement noticeably better than when you did the 24hr there?

Another potential benefit of a low-carb diet: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-11-ketogenic-diet-flu-virus.html

You're close enough that you could take a ride out there and check it out before the next registration comes around. Stop sign control was good. I slowed a bit the first lap because of the warning about possibly needing to stop, but was waved through. Every other lap I yelled "Clear?" early...

Tubeless. The Continental 5000 TL tires are the real deal. I've tried a bunch of others including the first-gen Schwalbe Pro One, but they all get punctures that the sealant can't seal. So bad that I went back to tubes for a while. But I've put many miles on my 5000 TLs and I've yet to...

They did a lot of road surface improvements between my recon mission down there on Sep 14 and race day. They patched up all of the spiderweb cracks and potholes north of Christmas Circle, and they added a new layer of chip seal to the big S-curve on the southeast section of the big loop...

Thanks @trplay . Yes, Jeffrey rode a great race.

Thanks @Jim Parker . McNaughton is about 6’-4” and super powerful. And special thanks to @Jeffrey Ritter for his racing advice and hospitality. He and his wife invited us to dinner and brunch and shared their canopy in the pit area with us.

Did he simply pull socks over his shoes? If yes, is that really more aero?

Can anyone comment on how well it holds 750 ml bottles vs 500 ml bottles? Will rough pavement knock the taller bottles loose?

I have a Fitbit, and like rojo, I use it to keep track of my resting heart rate. When riding I use a Rythm arm-band heart rate monitor, and wrap it high on my forearm. I found that the chest-mounted Wahoo heart rate monitor would slide down my torso.

Good to know you finished. Saw “waiting to start” on the website today and thought “uh-oh”.

@LarryOz is this new Cruznike race case the same as in the photo of you on the WUCA website for your 100km record?

How would you say the crappy pavement at Borrego Springs compares with the crappy pavement of Morgan Territory north of the summit?
