Here are the week #2 results: We had a total of 32 riders this week (12 new) - and 35 participants - so 3 people did not ride or did not submit rides to me. 13 people had PR's from last week. Congrats to everyone. Neal Brooks wins top honors for beating his PR by a total of 574 seconds! Wow -...

I hope so - we are at the beach in SC this week and expecting similar temp so, I guess it will be good for training!

Please email me the link to your ride: larryoslund@gmail.com

Here are the results after the 1st week. If I can count, there are 20 of us right now - What a diverse group of riders! Just a little disappointed there are no women in the mix yet! The group of 25+ from Washington, NC (and they have a good deal of women riders - maybe 10) who are joining us got...

For Hydration I use the race case in the back and mount a bottle holder under the boom in the front (see pic) This give me 3 water bottles of any size - I use 20 oz (or 2 bottle and a large bladder - 2 or 3 liters I think) - This is usually enough to get me through most century races unless I...

Best ride video I have ever watched Tor - Would love to do that route sometime - put it on my bucket list! The timing with almost the longest days of the summer was also a great choice! Question - You appeared to be riding on gravel for a while - over the steepest and highest part of the ride I...

Great write up of your first impressions. I have a V20 and love it. My first Cruzbike was a Silvio S30 almost exactly 5 years ago. I had never ridden a recumbent before that and the learning curve was huge for me. I traded the Silvio for a Vendetta after about 4 months because I was addicted to...

Hi All, We are off to a great start of this years Cruzbike Summer TT Challenge. Right now I have had 18 people say they will participate and already have 10 results for the 1st week. I know we have at least one person from UK participating, maybe more. We also have 25+ members from the...

We'll all probably miss at least one week. I will be in France for almost 2 weeks at the Worlds there, and will at least miss one week.

I am a horrible standing starter. I relish the opportunity of not having to try and clip in from a standing start. I am horrible at it! :rolleyes:

You can do whatever start you want. Most people do a rolling start just because a standing start is a PITA without someone helping. I try and roll up to my line at around 6-8mph or so. Just try and be consistent. Ideally the same bike, but not in the rules so you can do what you what. Some...

Great you are able to participate. Please send me the Strava Segment you are going to ride (larryoslund@gmail.com). If is doesn't exist, it is best to ride or drive it first, then create the segment. This was you have totally control over the segment and can play with it until it is exactly what...

Sounds like Jason would still have trouble getting to the mountains. Unfortunately, the distance needs to the be constant, since the time will always change and also be different for each rider and their level of fitness, bike choice, etc. We also have trimmed it from 15 miles to 12 miles to...

I am sorry Jason - I did not know it would affect you so greatly. It was really complicated to handle both indoor and outdoor rides last time, especially when people had different Zwift and outdoor rides to deal with. I myself must drive 30 minutes each way to get to a decent TT route. I am...

Not sure what this means Jason - We decided not to do Zwift for this challenge, so it must be an outdoor segement. :rolleyes:

What is it? The Summer Cruzbike Time Trial (TT) Challenge Series is a 15-week cycling challenge that is created and administered by Larry Oslund. It is officially approved by Cruzbike, and yes, Jim and Maria Parker will participate! Week #1 will begin on Monday June 17 - and last through Sunday...

David - don't let this little thing stop you from going! :) It should not be too hard to just build a side guard that matches the Q-rings shape. I will be working on it myself soon. Even if you went totally round and it was a little large that it needed to be, seems like it should work. I guess...

Fantastic - I will be great to have you there too!

Come on over David - you certainly are closer. Then we can have 2 Vendettas!

Based on their profile below: This little route doesn't look too bad. I can eat up anything in 3% range with pretty high speed. The total elevation gain in 12.3Km is only 184M, so not too bad really First "climb" is 2.9Km with rise of only 86M (which is only 2.9% avg grade). The V20 will not...
