Thanks Jon - It was a pretty nice windless day so I can't complain about that. A few things that could have helped me go faster: A warmer day, since it was in the upper 50's when we started - You ride faster when it is hotter. If I could have worn my Casco speedtime helmet, but it fogged up...

Missing some digits I think Ken: Fastest Century for UMCA is 3:46:16 (indoor velodrome) I rode it in 3:48:01 (actually I think it is getting revised to 3:48:10) That is 1 min 54 secs slower.

It still qualifies as unfaired because it is not a "true" tailbox. It is actually a complete seat with a "drink holder and storage compartment" built into the structure. It does not join the wind flow back together so it is not a tailbox any more than the Cruzbike's race-case is a tailbox. Bad...

Ken, it has been touch and go as I had several people drop out at the last minute. But I do now have 3 officials and 1 support crew which is the bare minimum. Thank-you to Tony Holloway who also volunteered to make the 4-5 hour drive up to help if needed! I am up in Northbrook now (a 12 hour...

I switch back and forth between a Vendetta and a RWD Cf bike by John Morciglio. I do not have any problems, but since I ride primarily with little to no hand input (I ride with a single 12" straight bar - my "stubby") on my Vendetta, that is probably why I do not notice much difference.

How long is the segment? Must not be long if you are putting out that many watts: under 5 minutes I assume! :rolleyes:

I would buy one if the could make it go "beep, beep" (Road Runner) sound instead!

Congrats! I'd join you if NJ was not so far away. I don't have any advice to give you about asking to add recumbents as a class within your state. I have tried to get them to add them to Senior Games in NC and all they tell me is that they follow UCI rules. No hope if the is the case.

Thanks Ken - Yes many velodromes do not even allow a non-fixed bikes. Northbrook is different as it is not a "real" velodrome in the sense of the super high bank corners, etc. It is banked but not nearly as much, which makes riding at sub-30 mph speeds much easier actually. I was considering...

That 3:43 was a group ride that Marc mentioned. UMCA records have to be solo attempts. That record stands at 3:46:16. - still eye watering. I did a 3:47:46 on my local track without any support about 2 years ago "just for fun". I was stronger then I think, so I hope I can break it. The...

Look forward to it Jeffrey!

haha - That is really funny! What was the date of that? I guess in a way I did that, but Century and Double were probably solo. Did my first 12-hour at Mid-Atlantic on my Silvio, then my first 24-hour next Feb at Sebring. (I was not mentally prepared for 24 at Sebring however - as it was pretty...

Hi All, Since it has been a "slow" year for me, I scheduled a Century and 6-hour track record attempt. I will be attempting to break the fastest UMCA time recorded (any bike, any age rider) for a century. The record currently stands at 3:46:16 by Micheal Secrest back in 2011. It was on a indoor...

The were ProOne tubeless. One was slashed a good 2-2 inches. looked like metal. Other's were punctures - probably glass

This event should be the next best thing to the Cruzbike Retreat later in the year!

Very dirty - We rode on many divide type highways with major traffic. We were told to ride on the apron. That is were I always got my flats.

Funny Hardy. :p:D:rolleyes: As far as major events go, I think I am up to 7 for this year (2017) actually! It has been a good year. Mostly attribute this to tubless and a little luck. 1.) Sebring 12-hour (264m)- no flats - no wrecks 2.) HPRA racing at Brian Picollo Veledrome - no flats - no...

Here is my report from my Big Jay's 6-hour ride this last weekend, July 15th. It was the UMCA's 6-hour National Championship. New 6-hour course record to boot. Enjoy. Video to follow. https://www.dropbox.com/s/sr6wjslgxi8mbox/Big Jays - 2017.pdf?dl=0

It is the closest event to my house at only 6 hours away - so I am going!

I have not idea. They claimed to only loose 1kph. Maybe they gave me V0!
