You younger/stronger studs can spin out your wheels! I do not think I will ever have that raw power. Wait, I did spin my wheel once if I can remember. It was a couple years ago, climbing a 15% grade, oh yeah and it was raining. Does that count...

The real estate on the front of my Vendetta is pretty cramped. Light means no video. I just have to rely on my cat-like reflexes! :eek::D

Thanks - one nice benefit of being 5'6'sh and 150 pounds. Plus - I lather up with Crisco before every race to be extra "slippery"! :eek::D Just kidding - do not try! Yes, I think someone almost always goes down at that turnaround every year. I did back in 2015. I rode off the edge and tried to...

Something else also just occurred to me: Your BB could be either too far or too close causing you to inadvertently be positioning yourself on the seat at just the "wrong" place. If you can have someone take a short video of from the side pedaling and post it to us to have a look - that might...

I have not had this problem on my Vendetta on a trainer (up to 6 hours non-stop), so I suspect your issue has a little to do with the seat angle which does force more weight onto your rear end. Riding outdoor may help alleviate this as you tend to move around a little more when outside. Just for...

I actually tried the 650 myself, but it put me down so low that my visor and helmet were catching more air and the visibility was also a little worse. I appear to be in almost perfect location with everything stock. One of few times in my life that being short has a good benefit. I would look...

I think you will be more aero if you adjust your chainstay to keep your knees at their top no higher than your shoulders. Putting a 650 wheel on the back may also help you some. :)

Finally here is my complete 4-hour video of the entire race. Play it in front of your trainer and ride Sebring with us! Just finishing up my written report. Hope to be done today. Enjoy:

I am just riding the stock V20 seat. I have a lumbar piece in it but that should not affect my seat angle. I think Kyle is also riding stock seat, but because he is taller, his head is up higher due to headrest going higher. Although it does look like his chest is at a steeper angle than mine. I...

Great write up Kyle. You are "The Man" I'm still working on mine and also trying to edit 4 hours of video footage! Hopefully ready in a day or two! Hope to see Jesse's perspective also. :)

I thought about it while we were riding, but the moment passed quickly in the heat of event. He is on strava though I think. It would be an interesting comparison. We have to get Jason along with Kevin and Alvin here next year. I think we could take a serious shot at breaking 4 hours. It would...

I think Kyle beat me there too. :( I think his max HR was 186 - Mine was only 183. :rolleyes:

That is the coolest picture I have seen - OK - well maybe 2nd coolest - The sprint at the line was the coolest! JL Perez is also a very tall guy. Get someone 5'7 on a small frame TT bike with 650 wheels and they might be almost as low as a recumbent!

Yeah - bugs flying in at 30mph (or any speed come to think of it!) - not my cup of tea!

Oh yeah - and here is a brief 30 second clip of the scariest part of the race to me during the 3rd lap on the racetrack in the fog! I have a full video of the entire race I am processing now. Will post when done

Here is a 2 second video showing Kyle and I going at it for the photo finish. What fun!!! - and way to go Kyle for the win. If I have to lose, it better has to be to someone on a Cruzbike! haha

GREAT job Ken - You did it!!! Show us the hardware!!!!:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

At the award ceremony they commented that their photo finish showed Kyle won by a tire width. I messed up a little too, as I thought the line was about 20 feet back where the cones started and "timer" was place, so I raced to that line and turned off the gas at that point and Kyle was probably...

Results: Here is a link showing the final 2 seconds of the Century. Do not blink when you are watching it!

To me that means, not have to stop. I envision a mini-hydralic type of lifter kind of like in an office chair. A little lever you pull would allow the seat to raise; the amount based on how much pressure you exert with your back. To lower it all the way back down, left the lever and push with...
