I actually worn shorts with thick pads on the side, but because I spun around, I spun off the seat and ended up scooting on my rear end behind the pads - Go figure - All healed up now. Thanks for your concern Suz! Thanks Elliot - It was a little scary spinning around in the road like that...

Well, I broke away at 70 miles - what happened? :) Here is the link to find out: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5gd7zm7am53x0hp/2016%20Savannah%20Labor%20Day%20Century.pdf?dl=0 Video to follow - processing now...

I'm not gonna make it - because we are visiting Gayle's family in Savannah - but I'd love a Cruzbike t-shirt too - truth is: I don't own one - boohoo. :( Good thing is that they have a Century "ride" here too - about 102 miles. I am told "it is not a race". Well based on the Strava KOM for the...

Here is a link to my UMCA 2016 Mid-Atl Century report: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x9r0chw4x8e205p/2016%20Mid-Atl%20Century%20ride%20report%20-%20Larry%20Oslund.pdf?dl=0 Here is the link to the complete 4-hr video of the race from my Garmin VIRB front camera. Something fun to watch while you...

Unless you Jim - He's rides no hands easily. I can in a pinch. I think Ben told me he can ride no hands well enough to text on his phone, although that does not sound safe at all! I have also done that fanny pack thing and just let it rest on my stomach. That is not too bad, but it does defeat...

Ask Jim and Maria if they have any 3000 miles to a cure Jersey's for sale. They had really nice front pockets with overlapping seams. The original Cruzbike Jerseys had side pockets with zippers and they were large enough for a 5" smartphone. Send Robert and email and see if they have any of...

Well, at least there is one thing that I might be able to do faster than you - get at my water bottle and put it back! :D

Here's a couple great shots of Maria riding with the fast group at the Mid-Atl Century. Cruzing down the road at a comfortable 28 mph! Proof yet again, she's fully capable of riding with anyone, and why she's wins her "gender" by hours... :) Way to go again Maria. Yours truly was behind her of...

I can't imagine that 85 grams per side is going to make much difference in your climbing speed. However, you will make significant increased speed on the downhills and flats. I say keep them on. Of course, the only true way is to test it on an identical climb, under same conditions. I would go...

Now I guess I'm going to have to get a "light saber" and strap it to my bike while I ride.. :eek::D:p

Congrats Kline - what a place to ride too - so jealous! The first of many I am sure! :)

If you are "over the hill", what does than make me? I've got a son your age! In the grave - I guess! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::rolleyes: (p.s. I 'm hoping to still run sub-4 Centuries for at least another decade, so don't bury me just yet - or at least dig me up and...

Yeah - a lot of training - with hopefully no more falling! :) But it will also be here in the blink of an eye!

I wanted to do this at the Mid-Atl for the 100 mile and 12 hour events, but Alvin said it was against the UMCA rules: So, I think It really depends if it is a UMCA sanctioned event. If so, I don't think they allow you to enter more than one event. I am on the UMCA board now and am chairing the...

There is Charlie Ollinger - who I am pretty sure has been racing recumbents since he was about 6. He is very strong and powerful. I think he is in the 30 year old age group as well, but not sure he is really racing right now. He used to race for Cruzbike 2 years ago when I started and has won...

I'm twice his age and have his size - or - Just an "old" "gnome" riding a fast Cruzbike. Yes, the reports of my "age", and "size" continue to grow into a tribal urban legend! haha (Thanks BentAreo!)

Thanks Jim- I think you hit the nail on the head - better to slide out than head-on into a car going the opposite direction. Yes - my poor "guardian angel(s)". The statement they never want to her from God is: "What is he doing here now?" - I keep them busy, but I also figure that the Lord "has...

There are so many variables that are out of your control when you are outside like that. Just a car passing you in either direction on one attempt could skew the data. I do a lot of testing on a closed track and have had very good results which I think has let me hone my Vendetta (and I) into a...

Wow - what a story Blair!

thanks - Here's the "short" version with everything speed up x8, accept for the crash. Go to 3 min 30 sec to just see the crash
