    Emmitt Smith Grand Fondo Century on 9/17/2016 - Results

    There are a few I made but that's a better position than in the corner were I usually put it, I like the idea of using them in a crowd and then analyzing what people are doing afterwards. Definitely something I'll borrow.

    Hawkeye Downs HPRA Weekend 2016

    Here is something to hold you over until I can find enough time to write an event report. This is the 20 Lap Horse Shoe Race from Sunday morning. The course was fun. It took some time to get the feel for the traction on the course and the lines everyone was picking; and figuring out if I could...

    Hawkeye Downs HPRA Weekend 2016

    Second in men's horse shoe lap race and I should have some nice video of all the rapid fire passing and dodging. PluckyBlond took the women first place. By the time of the 1 lap drag race we were goofing off and I bowed out to Daryl on his vendetta whose was riding with way more heart than me...

    Bottom Bracket Suggestions?

    Red is permanent. Needs 509f of heat to loosen Blue is single use But you can use the white marine caulk. Only comes in big tubes. It performs like blue and often survives 3-4 removals and reinstalls.

    Falling over

    Two weeks on a DF will drastically improve the strength of your trunk. This is why it is hard to ride no-handed at the start of the season each year on a DF. That trunk strength will transfer to better balance on a recumbent. Doing 8 sit ups three times a day will accomplish the same thing.

    White Mountain Double Century and Final Race for the CA Triple Crown Stage Race

    Logo how a bout a new tagline. V20 so fast up hill it was banned from competing with Diamond frame California's primer uphill bike race. I just can't wait to see what all these DF elithests do when the non 3:1 TT bikes start showing up at these events. They are going to turn the tables up side...

    @trplay has the carbon aluminum ones I believe. The all carbon are all new. The wheels historically get great reviews for everything but availabiliy; if we didn't already have piles of Reynolds wheels that's what I would be getting... If you want all around aero, utility, and climbing. 60...

    Bike MS New Bern, NC 9/10-9/11 - First English Century on V20

    Find one of the middle strength riders in the group; and explain to him / her that you can work as a team. If you rotate as a pair; you have to hold back but he/she can go harder' and together you produce a better effect than some of the stronger riders. But it does take practice.

    Little tweaks

    KMC 11sp are fine; because of chain waking; maintenance; transport; I'll remove a link 20-30 times in a 1000 miles; never had a problem yet. (This is the gold ones, they are made of harder metal and can be harder to source)...

    How Many Watts Are Needed To Break The Current 24HR World Record?

    The answers can mostly be computed; knowing CdA and CdR will help but if you use published numbers for the best TT bikes you'll be close. https://www.bestbikesplit.com
