    Yeah, but you know how it it: the Vendetta is so fast, we have to do "creative and interesting things" to slow it down so we give all the other bicycles a chance!

    That is why I ride 140mm cranks. Took me a lot a experimentation to find what worked best for me.

    UMCA Century Road Record Attempt - Oct 11, 2015

    The day that has been planned for and trained for for months and months is almost upon me. What seemed so far in the future and a distant dream has snuck up like a thief! Tomorrow I will be attempting the UMCA Century Road record for age group 50-59 on a recumbent. Much like Lief's quest for...

    OK - Here's my Larry the "racing" Gnome in full race position (compliments of Rick) Enjoy! Notice the "aero hat". Same wind resistance no matter which way the wind is blowing! Try to get some shots tomorrow of what I see when I ride

    Way to go Slim, thanks for taking care of our Cruzbike boy - Jon! Jon , I really pray your wife is doing fine. I am hoping it is mostly just missing you!

    Try creating a route in Strava. You could create one for what he has already done, and then create one for what is left.

    Thanks for the update Slim. Did not realized there were so many dangerous elements to overcome! It is nice that someone has some "eyes" on him. So where does this more recent update put in relation to being "home" or done. A map of Australia showing where he has gone and what is left would be...

    10 Days for Honduras (or watch Larry ride 1000+ miles)

    Day # 9: Hello everyone, Pouring and pouring rain - all day - but we expected it - expecting over 12" in the next 3 days. So, I hopped on my trainer (again!) I rode really easy today - only setting my wattage at around 100. I rode for almost 6 hours, and watched some riding videos and other...

    10 Days for Honduras (or watch Larry ride 1000+ miles)

    Hello Everyone, Well I am home now and it was poring this morning (what's new!), so I hooked my bike to my indoor trainer and started riding around 8:00am or so. While riding I am looking out the window and starting to see blue sky with nice puffy white clouds floating by. I said to myself...
