Thanks for the update SSlim. Been thinking of jond. Simply amazed at the moxy of TheAussies!

As good of news as you might hope for I suppose! Make good on the rest and recovery and, when you are up for it, celebrate your birthday!

If there is one thing I've learned about anyone who might set out to try something like this it's this: They are a resourceful sort. Plus he's an Aussie. My confidence is high in his ability to get back on the road. Go JonD!

No pressure - but maybe we get a chance to work on a Cruzbike Tribe jersey this way?! Get well soon big guy.

@Abbott Smith has had a rough birthday today. If you are friends with him on FB you'll have seen that at lunch time he blacked out for the 1st time in 7 yrs (T1Diabetic) and hit his head. That made him mad it seemed. Then about 5 hours later he shows himself in a hospital gown, being admitted...

Second verse - same as the first. Bloody hell! JonD - you are amazing!

Excellent post here. You've clearly got the goods for a serious distance ride. Can't wait to see what you can do on this V. I'll add that you'll get a fair amount of aero gain out of going with straight drop bars over the flared bars. (or the bullhorns @ratz discusses) Bring the brifters down...

Great write up Abbott. Thanks for sharing your deepest thoughts on such a considerable effort. We have all benefitted from your experience.

bloody hell. jon, Some things I learned in 3 days of sun. Sodium - you need more of it than you might think. (and sodium does not equal table salt) Some people have said you can't overdo sodium - I disagree - but depending on your normal sodium intake you will probably need to increase it...

Great read Joseph. I'm betting your group of riders is (or is rapidly getting) accustomed to the powers of your platform (never let a bent get away on downhill for example). I'm thinking they are a good powerful group of riders - you will get SO good SO fast riding with these guys. It already...

Duncan! I missed the news that you got a V 2.0! Congrats. Yours is more put together than mine is right now...but that shouldn't stop us. Looks like it's time for a Vendetta meet-up. @Abbott Smith , once you are back from Tahoe, let's carve out some time to meet up with @DuncanWatson and do a...

I looked and Poweragent doesn't export GPX. And when I tried to export as TCX the application ran out of memory (and failed). BUT... HooDoo staff provide routes on RideWithGPS and they have an export to GPX. Stage 1 - http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5022521 Mile 184-190something is hard, it's...

They are in the blog section of the new site. You can get to them by clicking on June, July, and August 2013 respectively. http://03bbf98.netsolhost.com/blog/2013/06/27/raam-2013-maria-parkers-amazing-comeback-victory/...

I'm still finishing up vacation so computer time is, by design, short - but I just read through all of these posts and want to mention a few things. 1) TRPlay is absolutely right about the stage race highlighting the strengths of a bike over the ability of a rider (and crew) to overcome sleep...

oh one other thing - a 10% grade for two miles, (twisting) and 58+mph, brake assisted; I think that's my ceiling - but not the Vendetta's. #howfastISthisthing?

Thanks guys - not much time to do anything but read this! Doing as well as I can for the tribe. Some eyes are opened this weekend when I pull away from the overall leaders on a low grade downhill at 168W at 35mph - they couldn't even (didn't want to work that hard so early) stay in my draft. :)...

I'll second that!

Rick! Great milestone. I think my 1st couple years on the Silvio were only in the 5-6K range - that's a lot of riding. You have two beautiful machines there. FWIW - I've looked at Redding as a stopover more than once but so far nothing works out. One of these days we'll ride together. :) If...

Ivan, I've thought of you more than once. Such a regular to have dropped off so fast...in light of crashes out of Ratz, Larry, Elliot, and even my own recent mishap I gotta say - I'm glad you weren't squished by a truck too. :)

Favorite!!
