Maria and I are very proud of you Larry! Start a month of Slo-Mag to reduce cramps.

It was a beautiful day and so great for Maria and I to see old Cruzbike friends and meet new ones. Here are a couple of photos of the after-ride lunch and a group shot. The course was a little shorter this year due to some road construction, but still got the 5500 feet of climbing in and...

Good read, Larry, and good riding. There's something special about crushing a peleton on a bike with a safety flag. Jim

Anyone coming to the event, please give me a heads-up so I know how many T-shirts and other bling to bring. We are going to make some utility poles, but they arent' ready yet.

Hi RojoRacing, Happy to support you at Sebring after I win the 100-mile race! At Bike Sebring, in the drafting races, they have no rules against registered racers sitting out every-other lap, and then jumping in and pulling a teammate the other laps. Personally, I think this should be made...

Sorry about that crash! I watched it on the video. I think the oncoming cars suddenly appearing in your view made you (appropriately) tighten the radius of your cornering, but unfortunately, that meant a high-speed corner on sand/gravel. Bad luck/timing. I hope you heal-up soon. When crossing...

When I checked the weather the day before the race, it said there was a 41% chance of rain. The "dustpan" is primarily a splashguard/fender. Here is a brief video showing it up close. It's made from corrugated plastic sign material and zip-ties. https://goo.gl/photos/prfByhs1FpXiLPTa6 I might do...

According to John Schlitter and Rubin Randel's Facebook posts, this was the debut of "Schlitter Racing" and the racers were decribed as "Schlitter Racing members".

My full blog report on the race is here. -Jim

They did it in 2012 on Bacchettas.

When Larry passes me in the video, I had been pulling the peleton for about 2.3 miles. I had moved to the front to try to run the break-away down when we turned onto Hwy 264. I was waiting for Larry to move up and help me run them down, but he got tied up in the back just a bit too long. I was...

I'd like to announce it here first. We will have a 4-person team racing on Cruzbike V20s in Race Across America, 2017. The race starts on June 17, 2017. Our charitable beneficiary will be 3000-Miles-to-a-Cure. The category will be Recumbent, 4-person, Mixed, Age 50-59. Racers: Kevin Gambill...

Hi Alan, Maria has been using the curved slider with a water bottle mount for the past year with no complaints. I just took it off her V20 because she wanted to test a long chainstay, and with that installed, she needed to go to a straight slider. Here is a picture of her curved slider with...

Just got off the phone with Larry. He and Kevin blasted out with the lead pack and led for the first 100 miles or so. Sounds like they got into fluid/electrolyte troubles, exacerbated by 95 degree heat. Larry dropped out after 15 hours. Kevin dropped out after 17 hours. Joe hung steadily in the...

I opened up my July issue of RADIOLOGY and this article caught my attention: "Radiogenomic Analysis Demonstrates Associations between 18F-Fluoro-2-Deoxyglucose PET, Prognosis, and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer". This is an important article. Here are the...

Unfortunately I don't have anyone feeding me updates on the race. I wish I did! -Jim

My son, Will, just found another important article to be added to the list of references. The researchers tested an ingenious protocol to induce severe hypoglycemia in 13 dogs, while preserving the function of the organs via ketones. It worked very well, and the dogs were unharmed in the...

We have a detailed map of owners around the world which we use to help coordinate requests for test rides. It's not public for security/privacy reasons. But I like the map on this thread as an organic map of forum members. I added my location in North Carolina.

I am not too worried about hurting RBCs with hypoglycemia. I can't find any evidence that hypoglycemia would cause significant death/lysis of RBCs. And even if it did, they don't reproduce, and they have a short lifespan anyway. Based on my experience reading PET scans, I would say RBCs take up...

{What's this doing on the Cruzbike forum? Well, some of the smartest people I know are on this forum, so why not? - Jim Parker, MD} The title of a 2010 documentary movie about cancer treatment, Cut Poison Burn, refers to three types of conventional treatments aimed at fighting cancer. Many...
