In NC, you ride the Assault on Mount Mitchell first (100+ miles with 11K climbing), and then the 5200 feet of climbing feels flat! :) Jim can confirm this, but I suspect the climbing in the Tour De Moore probably does not have much really steep grades to have to navigate. See you all next year!

Sign me up!!!! No need to trick me - seems like an incredible event not to miss again - I already have the event on my calendar for 2016! We just need a bunch of bungie cords to hook us all together! :)

Congrats Duncan. Can't wait for you to get it up and running and for ride reports. Post some new pics to!

What Lucia said! Now that's an action shot if there ever was one! Way to go Gary!

Gary - Thanks buddy - yeah you're in sooooo deep .. and you know it!

As you may or may not know, we (Gayle and Larry) lived in Honduras as full time missionaries for 1 year. Since returning in 2010, we have continued to support “Harvesting Hearts for Christ Mission” by visiting as often as we are able and supporting them in many ways. There are 4 families that we...

Alive and kicking (or pedaling)

I think this qualifies for the "understatement of the year"!!! Of course, we all know you did not know what the "catastrophic mechanical failure" actually was at the time you posted that comment. Now that we know - WOW!

Three cheers for the Tribe Cruzbike! Hip-Hip-Horray! Hip-Hip-Horray! Hip-Hip-Horray! Thanks again Gary for the updates

What Jon just said! I am hoping to make the HooDoo one of my ride next year. I also like the idea of the stage race, so you get to enjoy the beautiful scenery as you ride by it during the day. Way to go Tribe!

Ok - After having those bright red Tannus solid tires staring at me for almost a month, I was finally able to do some good comparison testing with them this morning at my "super secret test facility" ! :) Basic Tannus info: I purchased mine from of all places: "Metro Gnome Music & Cycle To Go"...

I think you will pick it up fast, but don't be a little surprised if you are unable to give it 1-2 hours the first day. Just stop if you become overly frustrated. Me - I had no experience with bents at all, let alone FWD MBB. I got pretty frustrated on my first day after about 10-15 minutes and...

Thanks everyone. For your reading pleasure, here is the link to my ride report. Enjoy https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5EZ5fN1B9qdek1CREk5QmctVXM/view?usp=sharing

Nice list of components! The Engine: This is actually the most important feature - and no need to pre-order. The engine is already there. All you have to do it use it. The more you use it - the better it gets - you probably won't even need any new parts! :) Good Luck - waiting is by far the...

Thanks Rick - and just think, you had something to do with it - all the help you gave me when I first join the tribe - oh how green I was - not that I'm still not green, but maybe not quite as dark green now! :) One of these years, you are either going to come visit the East coast, or I'm going...

No probelmo Rick! I have found that chains last longer when properly cared for, and the easier they are "used". I rode a single chain on my first V2 for almost a year = 11-12K miles. It was only then that it failed via the chain test tool. By riding "easy" I mean very few wattages over 500...

I have no doubt you will fit the V20. If the headrest is too high, you can cut out a section of it and reduce the height. They had to do that for Maria. Not a big issue. I say go for it!

I think we are all built a little different and the comfort/fit/feel equation will always probably be a variable somewhat. For me, I find the best feel is to have my toes pointed almost straight up when fully extended, but even more-so (jumping on my crank-length soapbox now), it is crucial to...

Actually, I find it is better to just "fall" after the race is over now, which is what I "embarrasingly did at this event! I'm still waiting for a photo surface - but I don't think Gary was there to see (and record) this since he was out riding his 4th lap. .. Anyway - what happened; is that...

I'll try and find something to post! 5'1" haha - good try there BentAero! Sometimes I feel that short. but - image the weight savings!! :) Yes - I am still relatively short for a guy at 5'7" (that's in my flip-flop's) - but it's just less mass to carry around the road - so it works well for...
