That would be great - I have it pencil'd in already - even more-so the IHPVA race in Northbrook - love that track - so smooth I wouldn't mind getting "up" for this "ride", but I just don't know if I can stomach the way they do the timing with the "punch" cards and all. From the sounds of it, it...

you mean like this: (I guess I never got up to 30mph like you Joe, but it was still pretty fun!)

Rojo: For my Century attempt: Here is my Garmin data: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/925341870 Here is the Strava data: https://www.strava.com/activities/411212005 The Strava data is derived from the Garmin, but I like the Strava app better because it lets you select any "segment" of...

As promised, here is a link to my Century attempt video. It is from the perspective of the support vehicle as I did not want the camera on my bike this time. It is kind of weird to get used to, but the dashboard stats are always of me, even though you don't see me sometimes as the car jumps...

Greg Report Joe - looking forward to more of your adventures next year. I'm hoping (as I am sure most are too), that you get a VIRB or Go-Pro mounted to your bike so we can "ride with you" on some of those awesome group-A smashing rides you do

Very nice Rick - It is pretty nice to actually get done with your winter project before winter even starts! You are speedy.

My comment about loosing 3 minutes in 100 miles was mostly a joke; being that unless you are in "major" TT mode trying for the absolute best time, it probably doesn't matter. I rode with them way at the bottom all year and just took them off for my record attempt. I was still able to go quite...

I think its just way better to drink everything you need for the ride before you head out. Then you just don't need any water bottles! :) Maybe it's just me, but I have terrible difficulty in removing and put the bottles back when they are so high up on the back of the seat.

Just remember you give up some aero-advantage with the bottles under the seat! Probably at least 3 minutes per 100 miles! :)

That's one thing I love about this group - almost everyone makes super COOL stuff!

Great effort Sam - and impressive top HR! You'll get the KOM - just keep after it!

Thanks again everyone! I think 2016 will be an even greater year - with more "Cruz'ers" riding events, and racing. Can't wait too see what the new year brings - for now: rest, and testing, and planning, and testing, and dreaming some more! :)

Thanks Sam - I forgot this Sunday I am playing in a charity golf tournament. So, it looks like it is probably the 25th, or nothing. Nothing is looking more probable unfortunately for me as I was gone last weekend doing the 100 mile record, and this Sunday the golf tournament. One can only do so...

I also like scramble, ramble, rumble - but then if you mash it with - crescendo - you get: a scram-scendo, cram-scendo, ram-scendo, raam-scendo... or,, a cres-cramble - then there's cris-cringle - sorry - way too early for that.... I need to get back to work -- or maybe just go home now - and...

This thread has "officially" been hi-jacked... :) Sorry Sam - but what do you expect when a "gaggle, Lightening bolt, Flash mob, Pain train, Rocketfest, crop, crew, crowd, converts, cult, convoy, cozy, tribe, crush, craft, crock, craze, cream, crack, crib, crest, and crescendo" of passionate...

Hurry up Rick, I can hardly wait to see it! :)

I got stuck on the "CR" also - and thought of "CREW" - Kind of hard to totally think out of the box though - you know, to invent a totally new word that just somehow embodies everything you mean without meaning anything! haha - talking in circles now! I still seem to want to have something cr...

Thanks Sam, Per the owner of BulVelo: "We currently carry Yakima Front loaders and Sea Sucker bike racks.I believe we can put it on the sea sucker." - so that is good news - sounds like they are already trying to make changes to accommodate other bikes, if they did not use those when you rode...

I just checked with the company that is doing these tours: BulVelo He did say that it would be OK for me to ride Vendetta. At first he said no, but after a picture and other discussion he said it was OK. I am considering doing this on Oct 25th. It is about 6 1/2 hour drive to the start for me...

Great write up - and awesome picturtes! Sorry for you with the cramping - I can surely relate to that! So are they not allowing recumbents on the ride? Looks like a really nice ride - might look into it for some leave peeping!
