Day #7 Hello everyone, Beautiful day, finally!!! Tried to put in a couple of hard 25 mile or so efforts, buy can definitely feel the fatigue accumulating in my body. I was the 3rd one into Southern pines of the 1000 riders. I did actually make a wrong turn right before the camping area and...

Day #6 Hello everyone, If you can believe it today it raining almost the entire 6+ hours I was out on the route. I also just typed a really long description of my day on the smart phone and when I went to add the pictures it somehow got deleted. argh!!! Phone is smart but not me! Today I ride...

Hello everyone, Here are Day 5 notes. This was the day I was to leave with the 1000 person group ride across the state. I woke up around 4:30am to do some final adjustments on my bike. Blew up one tube so I had to use my only spare. My plan was to go out about 6:30 to get my extra miles in (as...

I resemble that remark! Can't wait to see when it is done Rick!

Way to go Jon - I have been thinking and praying for you since you left. Especially as I was riding my measly little 100 miles a day! haha - nothing to compare to what you are doing for sure my friend! Not sure you are even able to get to this forum while you are riding - but the tribe is...

Day #4 Hello everyone, Today I rode the 4th segment of 10 for the "10 days for Honduras" fund raiser. Thank you again to those of you that have pledged support for this ministry. Today was another rainy day, so I was stuck on the indoor trainer AGAIN! I started at 5am so I could be done in...

Day #3 Hello everyone, Today I rode the 3rd segment of 10 for the "10 days for Honduras" fund raiser. Thank you again to those of you that have pledged support for this ministry. Today was another extremely rainy day, so I was relegated to the indoor trainer again. I started at 5am as I had...

Day #2 Hello everybody, Well today was a total wash out. Rained all day and very hard. So I rode on my computer controlled trainer in our sunroom. Here's a couple of pictures of me and my setup: The one to the left is me with the Vendetta on the trainer and the computer on a stand behind it...

Very different than the original one Jim road down in Florida earlier this year. But I can also see that it will be a whole lot more stable.

Today was the first of my 10 days. I decided to be safe and ride on a track in Asheville called Carrier Park, and also known as the Mellowdrome. (this is because it does not meet the "velodrome" qualifications) It is about 1/3 mile oval loop. Pavement is pretty rough with lots of cracks to catch...

Great ride report Joe. Nice to see you putting a hurting on the DF's. Curious about these "A" riders and what they are capable of. Have they or you done any 20K or 40K, or 1 hour TT recently. If so, what are times?

I wonder what kind of "control" it has over the KICKR. Would "really" be nice if you could download TrainRoad or of type of workout programs into it!

Yes - He just replied back to me - He rode he CA2 in that event. Either way, it looks like Maria appears to have the 24 hour Vendetta record at 469 currently!

I think it is zero (0) as well. Maria Parker has the UMCA 24 hour road record at 469. No men are listed at any age. I was hoping to break 500 at Sebring this year on my Vendetta, but fell horribly short at 439. That was after having my V for about 4 1/2 months. I rode the first 12 hours in 255...

If they gave you their phone number, I would call it. If they are legit, they will answer and you will have a real conversation with a real person. Usually a good first sign! If you are worried about your number appearing on their phone, just block the delivery of you number on the call. You...

Graet pics, great ride, great story, wonderful cause! Keep it up Abbott!

Wow and wow Bob - changes, changes, might have some of my own soon too - who knows??? I know Red is new - but now Gray/Black is even newer - I still don't think any of them compare to the "olde Yellow"! Long live "olde yeller"!!!!

Wow, Wow, Wow Jon - It will be epic no matter what! Hey, but last I heard, I thought you where going to do it next year: around March or April so I could come and do it with you! BUMMER!!! (I am sure I could hang on at least for the first 2 days at least!) I will be praying for you daily Jon...

Great pictures Abbottt. My uncle and grandmother live in Eugene. Beautiful place- great for bicycles too! Probably more bikes than cars in that city!
