Rob, This is Kyle Larson's bike. He has names it "X15 Præstø". It is basically the Cruzbike prototype that was named "Magic" but the builder John Morciglio. (I just call my Magic) I was fairly instrumental in getting it designed and built about a year ago. The Parkers, Kyle, and myself have the...

Mathew - you can easily change your route (just ride the new one at the same avg power), and you won't really get affected in points in the challenge. It will basically be counted as a week were you met you PB. So where that puts you based on what everyone else did is what you get. If you would...

This is a real bummer David and certainly glad that you were not injured to bad. This highlights again the inherent danger of bike riding on open roads (that has always been there, but more so with distracted motorists), and even more-so running an all out TT on a public road I feel compelled...

Marco - great video and testing as always. You should still your power pedal on Sofia bike and let her do a little power/speed testing of her own! You should also think about attempting a WUCA world record on that track in your age-group. There actually is no recumbent record for 18-49 age group...

I email everyone a copy of this , but here are the Week 9 Results for thread ...................................... Hi Everyone - 9 weeks done! Summer is just zooming by - School is planned to start in 5 weeks in my area - dependent on the virus of course - Might be home learning again to start...

Chris, another idea I had that would be easier is to create a workout in Zwift for the over and unders: for you, something like repeat 15x (300W for 1 min, 350@ for 1 min). Run it in ERG so you trainer will make you meet the wattage, plus you won't go over it by much. Start the workout just...

Chris, work in some intervals right into your TT. (I did that last week and I only ended up 1 sec under my PB). Use your garmin or some other head device to collect and average your power when you are on the Lollipop course. Do over and unders (ever minute) or something similar the entire TT and...

Great encouragement to everyone Jason - Thanks for that! You and a few more select people (Chris, Marco come to mind) where already at pretty peak form! Obviously it is harder to make much progress in power if you are at the top of your game. If you are not riding virtually, then then only...

Heal up fast Paul. I have never been in a multi-bike accident with my Vendetta, but because of how aggressively I usually ride I have still had plenty of road rash (with front flat going really fast or front wheel slipping out because of rain or sand) - Go to the doctor and ask for "Silvaderm"...

Wow - that is incredible! - I would be afraid to ride it if it was going to be windy! Might take off and fly (somewhere you don't want to go)! :)

Great report - would love to visit that area someday!

Wow - I wish it would cool down to that here on Hilton Head Island. 5am in my garage is 84 degrees and 80% humidity!

@RojoRacing - I signed up for ATP A/B Frappe for July 9th

It did help me with hot foot when riding long rides. I have not patented the process - feel free to copy- I am actually not using mine now because I may need to "reach" a little farther on a frame that requires such.

Glad you are OK Ken, those adapters look so familiar! :rolleyes:

I should have given you my watts last night since I was not using them - sorry! :rolleyes:

I'm still crying....

Therein is the definition of "sandbagging" - of course someone could do that and slowly just go a little faster every week for the whole challenge and even win. But victories like that are so shallow and not only rob the true victor of the glory of a hard fought win, but also robs the person...

Sorry - Birthday reservations for dinner with my wife - her birthday, not mine - so missing this week. Yeah, pretty lame - but would be lamer to leave her alone and race instead- so I am picking what does not put in the doghouse for a week or more! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Go kill it!

Here is a new video I just uploaded from my week #9 TT attempt. I was attempting to ride full power 12 mile TT at >=130 rpm cadence. Did not quite make it. I just could not ride full power spinning so fast. Ended up missing my PB by 19 sec and my cadence was only 125 rpm. I was riding with my...
