    The Road to Sebring, Around Sebring and Back again - Part 1

    Yes both bikes; when mounted on the Reynolds rims the 23c pro one widens out to 24mm just slightly narrower than the rim; so max aero. On the rear wheel it's a touch to wide but it doesn't matter as much as you are in the air wash and turbulence at that point. This mixed configuration is...

    Maybe a new Cruz convert

    Ask the doctor but it sounds like the non-weight bearing activity of riding is why you can't do more damage and it's safe to ride. Hence no on bike pain. But then you get off and the muscles around the problem area are fatigued so you don't have as much supporting muscle to share the load. So...

    The Road to Sebring, Around Sebring and Back again - Part 1

    The Road to Sebring, Around Sebring and back again. If you are looking for a race report you probably should look elsewhere. I am only ever interested in measuring myself against myself and my self-perceived limitations; and this trip was not even about that. But it was fun none the less. So…...

    Barefoot Biker’s 2017 Sebring 12 Hour Ultra Cycling Race

    I'm pretty sure it would take about ten minutes to whip up a bill of materials for a ladies build that could be executed today; frankly the bikes work so well for the ladies that the challenge isn't how to make them fit; the challenge is where to hide the ballast so the boys can keep up. Short...

    What I did to prepare for Sebring 2017 ---today

    We actually had live tracking, but I failed to communicate directly to Lucia and she didn't know that the links were for public consumption so they didn't get posted here . In the future we will be better. We did testing with the devices and there's a pretty good chance that they will make an...
