Ok... been riding for a bit. The shoes are a little tight so I filled an inner tube with water and pushed it into the shoe and put it into the freezer. Brilliant idea ... works a treat. Ok... so what do I like about these? They might not be the lightest but they do have quite a solid sole. I...

Birds of a feather flock together. The guy in the color lime ... not sure what it is... is it an encore? It sure doesn't suit that style of race. Definitely give a better result on total flat. I looked on the ride on Strava ... the elevation looked up and down like a yoyo. Thor forever...

The converted soccer shoes are brilliant. I thought that the retrofitz was too expensive. They use to be $50 but then they upped the price to $85 as demand got higher. You have to be brave to do it too. Make sure the shoes you select have a bottom thickness of less than 12mm. They aren't...

A couple of things. I have a great miracle healing ostiopath called Loren. Totally amazing. However the therapy hurts and it's deep into the shoulder tendons. I had the last treatment yesterday. I realized during the week I had Gorilla arms. If you loosely hang your arms straight down your...

Well those clever Germans have been at it again... ready for some solestar drool? Certainly should give you better Strava stats for all those KOM attempts.

I guess what would make a great improvement is a titanium shoe insert which was the shape of the bottom of your foot for each shoe. Then that would be good for racing as well.

Well the evenings are pulling in... and as I don't like riding at night, watching tv or twiddling my thumbs I get involved with little projects. There is a company that sells a product called retrofitz Http://www.retrofitz.com/ and they give you a kit to make any shoe into a cycling shoe. I...

Now that jason has got second. I will have to have that donut. :):cruzbike::D

Hey... it's the world's. 3rd is brilliant. Looking forward to see the podium finish Photo

If anyone needs a donut it's me. I decided to stay up and see this race thru. Come on Jason... I bet those legs are screaming but if anyone can get over it ... it's you.

Jason usually finished well... fingers crossed... he might get first

Had to put it up... just told to... enjoy

I think I will replace the water in the back with one of those small tin shape 360degree loudspeakers and have this blaring away on a loop back for my KOM attempts. That would have to take away the pain and replace it with awesome

Hey Jason, I sent you a message on your answer phone. Guess you had so many calls your mobile packed up! As I looked a few minutes ago Jason is 3rd with 306 miles. The other two in front of him are also 306 miles. Jason really wants that goal of 550+ miles. I don't think the guys in front...

Mighty fine peddling with 53/13 at 108 rpm. Not surprising 180+ BPM, so how windy was it that day?

How many times do you honk on your ride? Perhaps a small pressurized bottle down the downtube attached to a press to talk actuator could be good. I am thinking of similar technology used for blowing up tubeless tires. I like my handlebars to be clean so it would be good to fit it elsewhere. If i...

One of my favorite segments is 4.4km. It runs parallel to the beach front, it's a little remote that connects a town with a little town. There is a big cycling fraternity that use it as a conduit. I am sure the kom has been got by a velomobile. It's insanely fast. When I do a personal best on...

... and the dreaded constipation ... I would say definitely more salt and water. It seems those two things are a catalyst in burning fat. Many of us use salt tablets when doing endurance races.

Helium in the frame would be easier :oops: Just been on one of those Carnival cruise boats. The food on those boats is unbelievable. Thankfully it was only for a week.

You should be going cold turkey in a week ... bread for me was the real addiction. 3 weeks without it and you will be clean.
