Not as cruel as the selfie he sent me of the wounds. :eek:

For everyone new; not just Gary123 It's probably important to point out some things here in this thread. Especially for our newer members that are still learning the personalities of the forum veterans. Larry "crash" Oslund, might just be a statistically outlier..... :rolleyes: Ok hang on this...

Most good HR Monitors are Dual Band BT/ANT+ get one of those and avoid the dongle. Primary reason is that the Kickr is easier to control with BT. If you use the ANT+ dongle on an iphone your TrainerRoad setup will see the Kickr as a 1 BT Device; and 2 Seperate ANT+ devices (Trainer, and...

Andrea (Keeper of the Daryl) Rides a V20 now, but I don't know if she's lurking here.

Could you imagine the complaints if you got 4-5 V20's racing and got off the front; only the lead group gets passage the traffic lights. If you got lucky and could get away; that would present a challenge to even the Semi-Pro guys... Until the next year when they made the rules fair and declared...

Ok Half Done....... Here's the training report which really had to be written to fame up the goals for race day http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/farther-faster-fitter-fun-4f-the-unofficial-cruzbike-training-team-and-support-group.11122/page-7#post-127753 Still working on the race report...

Hawkeye Downs 2016 Event Training Report. The Road to Race day. On Sept 17th-18th. PluckyBlond and I showed up at the HPRA race at Hawkeye Downs race track in Cedar Rapids Iowa. The event is a long running race hosted by Dennis Grelk. The race is part of the HPRA series; see...

The extended director's cut.

Might work to just velcro the bag to your belly instead of over your head; actually seems like are really good idea.

Get a couple of small Musetee bags. You squish and put in your jersey pocket; as you get near the pit you pull it out put your empty bottle in using your mouth to drop them in. Drop the bag as you enter the pit and your crew will retrieve; as you roll through they give you a new bag with water...

Mophie Juice Pack Battery cases and you'll not have to swap phones; maybe just the case; should take about 10 seconds to swap cases we use them on our 150 miles solos and I barely use ½ the total battery running BlueTooth Head phones.

It limits the wheel base and shape of the bike. It's measure from the end of the aero bars to the rear axle. It prevents you from designing bikes from the wheels out. "The UCI code states that the ratio between the length and the width of equipment cannot exceed 3:1. This means that extreme...

Common you know you want to....... Seriously though with that husky pipe cutter it's so very simple, I would rate it safer than drilling out the Braze-on's Cutting the fork steem is far far more terrifying the first time. You always remember your first time.

Busy training the new guy this week at work. Words are in the computer they are just completely incoherent even by my standards.

I wonder if they'd make a special class if someone shows up with one of these new non-3:1 bikes. Might give Jason a run for him donuts

I can see a front flat being a bit scary sub 500 miles if you are still not relaxed on the bike; tension on top of tension can be a bad thing. Broken record guy would point out that slow speed drills help... I was talking with Ken about his silvio in IA; and I made the point that do 10minutes in...

There are three advantage of cutting. 1) It removes weight and the boom is so overly long you aren't going to make it less rigid. 2) Once it's shorter you can use the laser etching to measure you boom length adjustment. You may have noticed the laser marks are too far down the boom if you don't...

That is the one I use.

Too low of pressure on the front can make the bike squirrelly because the front is both steering and pulling the bike. Completely flat is actually easier to control than say 60 psi. At 170lbs 85psi is about as low as I go; PluckyBlond I'll lower to 80psi. For aggressive riding I bring use...

Brent got the photos loaded from the weekend. Here's a smattering of the Cruzbike highlights.
