That's too bad Abbott. The first week or so I was riding the vendetta I too hit a big ol rock in my path that I never saw coming. Granted each situation is different but it's likely that being laid back more than you are accustomed to means an adjustment to your sight lines, which may take...

Great story Larry. I've just got all my photos (not many) for my Washington Crossing together and the story might flow tonight - after reading yours. I've had a week of catch-up on other facets of my life which were put on hold in the preceding 2 weeks. soon, very soon.

I'm up at 4AM aching in bed. :) Much to report. Plenty of fail. Plenty of win. My virtual support network (online) is crazy awesome! Thanks so much for all the encouragement. I'll post to my strava account later tonight when we get home. The good news : my ride is one continuous file. The...

Oh I'll be riding disc on the rear. Make my own wind turbine. :) But it's not compatible with my rack (thru spoke mount) so that rear wheeL on the Vendetta is just a spacer.

Packed up and on our way. Trusty Silvio (fenders and all) wouldn't let me go without her.

The often unseen prep work for a long weekend spent biking.

I successfully tested Glympse, already have it on our "home" cell-phone (old 2.2 Android device"). [my daughter got cranky when I suggested borrowing her phone...she woulda caved but still] Glympse will autopost a URL to Facebook for me - I can make it "public". Once it's running Bob, please...

Battleaxe! So true! I think this Friday might be the first 1st Bike To Work Day* I've missed in quite some time. *I don't commute every single day - but every year in May the Puget Sound Region is inundated with Bike To Work commuters and especially on one particular friday there are stands...

Since I've got a follow vehicle (with an official) I'm thinking of swiping my daughters phone - and just plugging it into the car. It won't be "my" speed but it will be close. I'll look at Endomondo and FollowMee Thanks for the cheering section!

Thanks team! Larry, Leaving at 4:30 is only about 30 min of darkness up this far north. Sunrise around 5:40 and out in that flatland it'll be usable light at ~5:00-5:15. If I have a great day I'll miss the late day rush in Pasco. But even if we hit that - I'll be done with the climb before the...

This Saturday, May 16th, I'll be making an attempt (setting the mark actually) for the UMCA record for recumbents in the North>South direction across the State of Washington. https://www.ultracycling.com/sections/records/stats/state/#wa The course I've plotted (and expect to take) is here...

I've got most of a Mueller Windwrap fairing (one of the stays broke) which I had mounted on my Silvio 1.x for about 8 months or so. It's hanging in my garage rafters if anyone is interested. Not the closest picture but you can see my custom-made PVC riser coming off the Telescoping TopTube...

Bikette - if you can't get a picture up - tell us how you built up a V20 to come in at 8.3KG. I *could* have another customer if he can reproduce that build.

Congrats and cheers to you Suz! Looking forward to the pics.

That is exceedingly light!?

Side note question: I'm a trainer noob (by way of example - I burned up a wheel because the tire was too inflated and the pressure too tight). I have a simple trainer from Performance Bicycle DCRainmaker called it good for it's price point (like $130). My question is: How tight should I crank...

Seriously can't believe you were able to ride 12 hours, at that level, with efforts like that mixed in. Nice work. And way to work out the mistakes/failures/faults etc and just keep on keepin' on. Color me impressed.

Epic. Just epic! Gary...deserves...more...than...a...medal! Just sayin... Such a great story Larry, thanks for writing it down and sharing it with us all!

THAT makes the speed/time/average numbers so much more impressive. Dannnnnngggg.
