I wouldn't be surprised if there are quite a few schlitter encores at Sebring. My brother has seen them practicing on some of the trails I plan to hit when I get over there. I got back in the saddle today and did an hour's TT. It was one of those rare days when the temperature went up to 18c...

Hey.... That was perfect! I just luv that band but never seen that video. Thanks for posting.

Looks interesting. Where do you get this? CVS???

Corrected the typo. Thanks

Emmmm must be lack of sun. Feel zapped. Still beating my best times though. New year resolution was to cut out the pastries and salted sunflower seeds until after the race. This unfortunately means no doughnuts. I said that I would reach my target racing weight which I worked out to be 72kg...

There is no fear... there can only be one winner... that makes 99% of us a failure. Don't worry, be happy. For me, Just being there is an accomplishment. Racing is an added bonus. I am finishing off reading that audio book called "The Rider" ... its very good. Like all cook books ... its all in...

Hey those video's were quite something. Most of the crashes were down to deteriorating road conditions and going too fast for sharp corners. Do pro's always go for slicks or do they go for an all weather tyre if the conditions aren't good? In the first video, this is not a bike lane, over here...

Might try and get some underwear and sleeves in this stuff http://gizmodo.com/carbon-fiber-reinforced-clothing-will-protect-cyclists-1628086776

I thought of you at the time. It all happened so quickly there wasn't really pain. Sure the road felt hard and unforgiving. It just says a lot about the design of the bike. Not a scratch on the bike well except for the fiberglass seat that I have but that's just a graze on the edge and on the...

ok ... Potentially I think I got off very lightly. Front inner tube blew out because it got pinched by the tire. Fortunately I didn't have time to even clip out. I just got dragged down the road with my feet in safety locked into the pedals. The seat took the brunt of the force and just got...

One ride with Jason and you blow a gasket... But at least you don't fall off the bike:rolleyes:

Everything felt wonderful, until the front flatted and then I decked it on the left and slid across the road. Amazingly I didn't brake anything on the bike. Just a graze on the forearm and left buttock. Gave myself aloe Vera on the wounds after cleaning. I will have a day off tomorrow. The...

Ok after Sunday's 3 hour 40 minutes I got to think about suffering. The legs oddly enough were the last to complain. First off I got pains in the lumbar region of the back. They went away intermittently by raising my back by pushing down on both pedals while cruzing. The other area was neck...

Now the roads have dried out and nobody on the roads because of xmas day it was perfect to have a first at a 3 hour 20 ride. I chose a route that I have an average of 35kph and just do two loops of that but what I didn't plan was how exhausted I would be. I didn't take any jells just a little...

After that 320 ride today, I have brain fuzz ... How do you fix that?

Nope, it was invented by a yank on LSD

Hey Ravcon. Sorry to hear the news. Hope you get on the mend. Don't worry, it's a great bike and I am sure you won't have any difficulty selling it. Have a great Christmas. You might want to add what sort of groupset it has or if it has a ventisit seat. Photo speaks a thousand words too.

Well the wedges arrived today and I put one on my right cleat and three on the left cleat. My cleats were right back today. Big difference. Top of my legs are spent but my knees and calf muscles have still got some go and the knees don't ache after an hour on some hills. So I am very pleased...

Well it's xmas folks... I just bought a car game for 5 bucks and it's called stock car extreme and it's even got the Sebring circuit so let's have fun in between the training bouts! Sure enough they have recumbent view (it's called a go cart:cool:) The big day might as well be today... What...

I already have twice. I am wondering when the official Sebring route will be posted. Every time I look at the route from the official Sebring race page, I get page not found. Anyways. As you said before ... Not too long now and it will be right upon us. I downloaded the audio book and look...
