174km in 4.5 hours. That's a heck of a pace. I think I have to get behind someone. Probably shave my head as well. Gosh... I think I have spectators that are coming to cheer me in. I hope I don't fall off my bike when I cross the line. Today I changed out the 9 degree of float on the cleat...

Well ... Still don't like my times. I can go a wee bit faster if I change the seat configuration so I have this ready to check tomorrow. I also have mastered the new cyclometer and I have a new nutrition scheme in place. Yesterday I got zapped by too much sun. The cyclometer said it was 31c in...

You just need to be quick and put your finger on it.

I just bought this pump. My brother's pump wasn't working properly so I bought him one. All his 700c tires were down. One bike had 83 psi and the other 60 psi. Do you notice anything odd with it? Usually I have the type reversing mechanism but this is different.

It's got a screw thread on it so I guess you need an adapter? Probably just tried to rush. (I can't tell you how irritated I am)

One step backwards... What ever you do, don't try this pipe adapter with a tubeless tire. It deflates and the bead pops off the rim. You are better off just taking the covers off after your day's adventure and put the usual clasping hand pump on the valve. :mad::mad::mad:

I had six people yesterday tell me I had a great looking bike. I luv it. (I actually luv it because it rides as good as it looks). Just wondering if the t50 is going to be around at Sebring? If I offer my bike for anyone to ride most say no as it looks too outside their comprehension but the...

I am amazed you spotted this too :D

It was down to my breathing on a cold visor, there was moisture in the air too.

I have been riding on the Okeechobee trail that's 20mins away from Sebring. At 8 am it was still misty and when cycling my glasses and visor started to fog up... What on earth do you do with that? Guess you have to ride without visor and glasses?

It seems to be coming together. I have my last big ride tomorrow before Sebring. We are heading for Lake Okeechobee ... One of the larger lakes. LOL I will be able to test out my hydration system and see what the new beast can achieve. This time I will try to keep my heart rate down. Just...

Build finished but can I actually ride it?:eek::rolleyes::cruzbike: Find out next week

Alas these beauties didn't work out... It's not apparent but the bridge of the aero base bar is too narrow to fit on the boom. If the V20s boom is smaller then I probably will keep it as I think it's a great idea having small stable handlebar. I decided to use the old aluminum handlebars with...

Heck... It changes all the time. The other day it said rain and early this morning I am sure the max was 25c. Let's just keep on eye on this as it seems very variable

It's going to be hot at Sebring. All... Start thinking about hydration You might be perfect on your trainer but if you get your hydration wrong things get tougher. I have a halo device that I haven't tried yet. The last thing I want is to stop to wash out the salt from my eyes.

Well my bike has just arrived at Orlando. I am here now but there isn't anyone in the office so I have to wait for a few moments. One of my upgrades is to switch out the Shimano Ultegra 11:25 cassette and put on the Shimano Dura Ace 11:28 cassette. It's quite a little bit lighter and supposedly...

Well when I am going fast the levers will be down. Perhaps I need flared levers!

The dedicated cycle paths are long and the weather hot... Due to lack of a cyclometer, I over cooked it a little today. I couldn't help but notice all the trike recumbent bikes also using the path. There seems to be a hub around Floral City for recumbent trikes. Indeed there is a dedicated shop...

I am so friggin irritated. I bought a lot of new gear to put on the bike for Sebring and it still isn't here. A couple of days ago they said they were going to try and send it by BA and now they say it will be arriving tomorrow night at 10pm so that basically means I won't be picking it up until...

It's nice to chill out from all those grandure ideas of winning by being at Blue Springs. I can quite easily forget where I am, what I am and indeed where I am going. :cool:
