Lief - One question: why so early of a departure? 4:30am? You are definitely strong enough to be able to complete the entire trip in daylight, so just curious why you are leaving in the dark? Just hedging your bets a little maybe? (I guess I would start in the dark than leave in the dark)

Way to go Lief - I can't wait to here your ride report! Awesome! I tried some "tracking" thing on Garmin while in Sebring - but it did not work. I would love to follow you and encourage you. Let us know if you find out some "tracking" system. What is your "estimated" goal time. I see the...

Congrats Alan - A fantastic bike and choice. Just being on it will make you want to build your fitness. You will just want to ride and ride and ride! Can't wait for the pictures of the new V, and also reports of you learning to ride it!

No I didn't, but that would be a great thing to do. I'll have to remember to try that for next time! Great idea!

This thread has some really cool quotes: 'old-fashioned' bike = handicapped. You can let them start half-way up the hill and still catch them. The V - the perfect rock-n-roll bike! I'll take you up on that Joe - where do you live - I'll be right over... :)

Yes - it is amazing how close those pros get. I think it is a little easier to get closer on DF, mostly because of the visibility. Way to go Aussies! Just think how much faster they would be if they got off those "old-fashioned" bikes and onto a recumbent! :)

Fred, why are you done with chains? I thought I was - mostly because I just hated all the grease - I briefly looked into belt-drive systems too, even had a totally belt-less internal gear system. Lost too much wattage. It was nice from the "clean" perspective, but they still wear and have to be...

Hi Joseph, I was looking around UMCA site and stumbled upon the 24 hr race in Middleville in June. I see you are registered for it. Congrats! How long have you been riding the V? What are your goals for the 24 hour? Have you ever done one before? Me only one, Sebring and I did not fair to well...

Great!!! - Yeah you will need a power meter to do true testing, but I too instantly felt that 150 where nicer for me than 170's. Best of all they will treat your knees great!

Ratz, send congratulations to Tanya for me, and pass this along: I heard that Maria will not be riding at the 24 hr National Championship in Middleville, Michigan on June 20, as she will be crewing for someone on RAAM. So , Cruzbike needs a female recumbent in the race! You should enter it! -...
