I set my large ring (53) OCP#1 for the best on the flats, and set the small ring (38) to OCP#5 for the climbs. I think it is the best of both worlds.

Gotta have a reason Man!

I would say that it is more proof of where you are in the process. But having said that, I do think riding (and doing other aerobic laden activities) in combination with a low carb diet will train (even force) your body to use your fat as fuel. Much more on the thread...

Congrats on a great and memorable ride Bruce! Thanks for sharing with us all

Congrats Layne - pics of course must follow! :)

I'd opt for the cheap laptop or even desktop so you can pipe the display to a screen. That really helps with seeing the workout and running videos to ride by.

Thanks David, Water - going without that is harder - :) Track - It's is nice to be on a closed loop with no obstacles so you never have to hit your brakes. If I start at 7am then there is no one there for at least 2 hours, then lost of people crossing the track to get to the volleyball, basket...

The thing is, it just isn't that big of a cut. Maybe 1/4" end to end and no hunk of rubber missing. Thanks for the tip, I'll try what you described.

I did not think it was possible, as I have tried several times this year with no success. But I thought I would experiment with fuel-less riding again a little more since it was the end of the season. So this is my personal Best Fuel-less Century: 3:56:25, so I did it! I carried 64 ounces of...

You're kidding, right? :eek: haah I crash after every front flat I've ever had! Maybe because I'm always going fast and they have been quick flats too, not sure. Now I ride ProOne Tubeless - haven't had a flat since. Run then at 85 psi. I weight around 150.

Nice ! Definitely full covers on the back. The front is fine and will be hard to handle fully covered.

I think PB is probably working on here own -- it's another race!

From what I could tell, I think they also gave support to the chase group.

If anyone has time, here is the entire Emmitt Smith Century in regular time: 4:16. Nice to look at when your on a trainer and need something to watch. Enjoy.

I know that Kent Polk modified his shoe and put his clip-in cleat basically in the center of his foot. He climbs amazingly! On my list to do is to design and build a special "recumbent" shoe that rounded on the bottom for better aerodynamics "and" has the ability to put the clip-in cleat...

Hi all, Just got done with the ride report from my Emmitt Smith Gran Fondo Century race, and videos - Enjoy! Once again - Thanks everyone who sponsored and encouraged me - The Tribe is the greatest! Ride report docx format...

Thanks Steve - and everyone else. I'm putting the final touches on my ride report and uploading the video now (Full Century at 4x speed - so it will still take an hour to watch it - Sorry!) I'll work on a "best clips" shorter version later, but all that editing takes some much time - probably...

Copy that Ratz! Still awesome showing by you and PB! Now you got you first event under your belt - the rest is downhill!

WOW - Thanks so much for the encouragement Doug! I really needed that right now - as I was sitting here writing my ride report and getting a little disappointed and feeling sorry for myself. :( I was so close to making it in with the lead group, but the wrong turn and the cramp while chasing...

Thanks so much for your support Jim and Maria - You guys have started and support a great wave that I feel lucky to be a small part of!
