No shaving so far! When I was 18 and swimming in the state finals as a senior in High School, I shaved my entire body. Boy was that ever a chore! It felt absolutely cool when I was in the water. I felt super fast and "slippery" in the water, but I did not really notice a betterment of my time in...

Actually probably more likely termed "How not to try it ....", or "make a better plan before proceeding"! . First go ride ~110 miles to warm up. Check the KOM you want to do and proceed to starting point. This next part (actually 4-parts) is just hysterical (at least to me) - luckily I enjoy...

It's easy to say this, but very hard to do in real like. You just normally want to "break" our fall on the side of the body that is falling. This is how I dislocated my left shoulder at Sebring this past February! It happens so fast, all you do is re-act. I have found though, with my short...

.. or the clothing! That is also why I did it. I'm looking back when I "waxed" - I waxed right after Calvin's - then rode 2000 miles, then waxed before N24HC, then have ridden another 2000 miles - and last 1500 have been outside - and last 500+ have been at the beach. I brought my crock pot with...

I'll have to say, I originally bought 3 pounds of the Molten Speed wax a year and a half ago thinking I would use it up pretty fast. I am still not even through the 1st pound! I think part of the key is when "re-waxing" just make sure the chain is as clean from dirt and debris as possible, that...

There are always camera about.. haha Big Brother is watching - and of course don't forget about "The Google". Something will surface at the most in-opportune time. :eek::D;):)

I have a friend (Warren B) who rides and races in HPV races. He mounted a rotating pole to the top of his helmet with a GoPro attached to one end aimed at him. He would start it spinning slowly and then take off. It took some really great footage - plus no-one wanted to pass him on the track...

Yes, a drone would be awesome! I'm just waiting for a little longer flight time (like 4 hours! :D)

Time does fly Rick (almost as fast as a V!) - and most Cruzbikers out there could not have gotten going without the expert advice from both you and Ratz! Hats off 2 both of you, Cruzbike, and everyone else on the forum who gives there input and advice. It's a great tribe to be a part of!

I have been riding a lot lately (actually just passed 1200 miles in the last 11 days for the Fund Raiser that I'm doing), so it was really great to just drift down the road and chat with Skip. Per my Garmin: Skip and I did 23.4 miles in 3:24. I expended an average of 17 watts during that time...

Thank Skip! Had a great time riding with you and getting to know you - You're a great guy! Truth be told, Skip first approached me for "riding lessons" - haha. No lessons needed for him - Maybe for me!! We'll I'll have to admit - he can ride a straighter line on the road than I (I guess I...

About 2 years ago I had just got my first Cruzbike (Silvio 2.0) and we came to the same beach for vacation - on the same week (July 4th week). Anyway: I rode my first Century on that Silvio in 4:59:00 on June 29th on the open road. I did not have a power meter back then, but my pulse averaged...

Here is my daily mileage progress since starting on June 25th: Sat, June 25 - 90.8 miles [Total - 90.8 miles, 9.2 behind goal] Sun, June 26 - 30.4 miles (all I had time for was a little before church, so got behind my 100 per day goal pretty good at this point) - [Total - 121.2 miles, 78.8...

It has been my experience that the only thing that will prevent you from getting less than 500 miles on a newly waxed chains is riding in excessive dirty or wet conditions. I would just a have a duplicate chains always in the wings anyway for an event. Someone good could switch it out in under a...

Sorry I have not updated this thread with my testing. I am sorry busy every day - and now its already 10pm and time for bed. Very quick recap: Here is the my testing protocol that I will try and do on each bike 100 watts for 5 miles 200 watts for 3 miles 300 watts for 2 miles 75 watts for 5...

... This was a custom CF "Zockra clone" make by a guy that goes by "woodenfixie" over on BROL. He had trouble riding it and thought it was too dangerous and sold it to someone in Maryland. The guy in Maryland couldn't really ride it either and "loaned" it to me to test with. I did not really...

Fantastic photos Steve - Wow! This squirrel has been there every day I have ever gone to this Park! I guess he is the resident: chase vehicle! :) He will actually run along side the bike for a about 6070 feet - Pretty funny! No accidents yet! So far he has manged to survive not getting run...

Hello all, Here is my belated post for my Honduras Fund Raiser. Pretty much the same as last year - just longer (last year was 10 days - this year is 15) I had meant to post it on Saturday when I officially started, but with the re-org of the forum I need to check with "the "powers that be" to...

I'm still working on my ride report, but here is a quick video of the test lap I did on the 7.6 mile "night loop" with Kevin on Friday afternoon.

David, you don't have to pay for any of the training packages. You just have to "be a member" of TrainerRoad (either monthly or yearly), and you get access to a whole suite of programs. If you are going to start now, Ratz is probably going to put you on riding in your "aerobic" (180-age=HR) for...
