    Start your engines, time for the 65th WTRL TTT

    My bet is on Jason forming the Frappe team california burritos. It sounds like a Jason name. Do I get a prize if I’m right?

    Buying v20 in Europe

    The fun-o-meter on my car/minivan doesn’t go nearly as high as the one on [any of] my [five] bike. Contrary to popular opinion it is a more complex gauge than a speedometer or the decibel reading. :eek:

    Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020

    With both official and unofficial Cruzbike retreats cancelled this Cruzbike TT and Cruzbike involvement in the WTRL Team Time Trial are the closest we get to a retreat this year. If you haven’t signed up for them... the price is right and you will get to fellowship with Cruz and other bikers...

    MI Cruzbike retreat 2020 - August 6-9, 2020 Benton Harbor Michigan

    cue mournful bagpipe music. Fade to narrator stuck in a feedback loop between cancelled Cruzbike retreat events and the use of “unprecedented” an unprecedented redundantly repetitive number of times.

    Buying v20 in Europe

    As it should be. Now if I could convince my wife of that I might be able to get a used s30 or s40. Last vehicle purchase that wasn’t for parts was $4000 CAD

    Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020

    One dog powered V20 available to a new home as long as you take the leash and the dog - v20 negotiable.

    MI Cruzbike retreat 2020 - August 6-9, 2020 Benton Harbor Michigan

    You could just ride whichever of the awesome routes you described while filming so we can virtually retreat. We could each pull a trailer with a sign that says MI 2020 Cruzbike Retreat - Covid style. You could ship one of your bikes to the border nearest to each of us. We could pick it up...

    MI Cruzbike retreat 2020 - August 6-9, 2020 Benton Harbor Michigan

    You assumed correctly for me. I need an open border minimum. And I am assuming that next year will be the second annual Cruz MI even if this year turns out to be your weekend ride. In fact, some might even count my ride around Gun Lake which had in 2019 to be part of the ancestral...

    Spring Time - Learning To Ride Time

    There you go. Good observations. Before you know it you will be proselytizing and teaching others about the merits and how to’s of Cruzbiking.

    Wondering about the fastest, while wide-range, drivetrain

    @Tor Hovland were you referring to very steep grades as mentioned by @Osiris or long grades that you spin up at the same speed but spin at 80 vs. 60 and hurt knees? Going back to the first post you were looking to keep the same bottom end but increase the high speed gearing somewhat, isn’t that...

    Wyoming 'tasting menu' rides on the way to Yellowstone

    And what seat and cushion do you have? It looks very breathable.

    Well . . . it had to happen sometime

    As suggested by @super slim I created a dedicated, easily findable thread about fixing yourself after a non-hospital incident using @LarryOz ’ advice corroborated by @Norton ’s experience. https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/wipeout-wound-healing-lost-skin-road-rash.13460/

    Wipeout Wound: Healing Lost Skin, Road Rash

    I have never been in a multi-bike accident with my Vendetta, but because of how aggressively I usually ride I have still had plenty of road rash (with front flat going really fast or front wheel slipping out because of rain or sand) - Go to the doctor and ask for "Silvaderm" prescription, and...

    Riding no hands improved after unicycling!

    Or a Ferrari with automatic transmission. Now I’ve gotten off topic. Analogies made me do it - it’s all their fault.

    Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020

    @trplay Do you keep all those tools handy during the WTRL TTT? I could have used some tools last week. A tune up to the engine would have been good!
