Cool Eric ! Thanks - I am a data junkie! There is never too much data! Want to ride Waterford Speedway with me - read on... I did manage to shoot some video from my handlebars on me V20 (Don't have a mount point way out front yet for the VIRB camera. On the list of things to do before...

Great Video Rats! What a beautiful shot Jeffrey! Maybe someday..... I can see it in person. :)

I rode the entire 24 hours at Sebring with front and back discs. It was pretty scary at times, and I think helped wear me out a little. Since I have been back, I have done areo testing and found very little difference between a full disc and my 88mm rims on the front. Since then, I have been...

Obviously it also depends on "who" was riding them! M1 ridden by Mike Mowett M5 ridden by Florian Kowalik V20 ridden by yours truly. (obviously in my un-areo position!) :) V2.2 ridden by Eric Winn Could not find a picgture of the V1 ridden by Daryl Hanger (Daryl, if you have one - post it)

Florian Kowalik (16 or 17 years old) on an M5, 2nd was Mike Mowett on his M1. I do not have the times yet, as those would also be interesting

OK, I am back from the 31st Michigan HPVA Rally. What a different experience when compared to a 12 or 24 hour event! A lot more "waiting around" than riding! :) I met fellow Cruzbikers: Eric Winn and Daryl Hanger - both riding Vendettas. All in all, I think we placed really well as the...

Can't believe you are "sp" close - a little jealous I have to drive 670 miles and you only, what 27.5! Looking forward to meeting you and riding with you Eric! It looks like it will be a lot of fun!

Slim - are you serious: 60 rpm? You didn't mean 160 and forgot the "1" by accident? 60 just seems so slow. To me pushing "any" gear, 100 rpm is much more optimal, especially for the pressure on my knee joints. :) But I know many fast cyclists, who really love to mash down in the 60 rpm ranges...

Wow - those guys where sure taking some falls down that snowy mountain slope! I don't think this Cruzbiker is "that" crazy - no - I am pretty sure. Just slightly crazy. :) Thanks fro sharing that Jeffrey. How's the V treating you? - and how are you treating it! :)

Your top speed will possibly only be limited to how much you want to be sweating when you get to work!;)

That is good to hear! We tall everybody the same thing. Stick with it and you will be pleased. It is amazing how many do not! Glad you did! Well Done!

Very well said. The fear never really leaves you (especially if you crash every so often) - you just have to keep pushing the envelope of what is possible. I rode in a local Century last weekend over here in the mountains of NC. There was a group of about 2 dozen DF's that were leading the...

Location: Waterford Hills sports car racing track, Clarkston, Mi Description: The 31st annual event conducted by the Michigan Human Powered Vehicle Assocation takes place on the 1.4 mile Waterford Hills track, which has nine turns and one hill. HPRA rules apply. Riders of all types of...

Ratz proved it: You don't need more gears, you just need more power! (and the right color too I guess)

So, or your TT effort: you just need to pretend your going up a 12% grade with the wrong gears. Then you'll smoke it. :)

Yes, to a point. I have a CF "China made Zipp knock-off" when the cross section of the handlebar looks like an airplane wing. I think the thing to remember is the design of whatever you have must be mostly to the function of what it is to do. I made my own "quiver" to go on the back on my...

Scott, For the short TT's (1, 5, 10K), I will ride on a local track. My procedure: I set my Garmin on "Metric" so I can see the actual metric distance as I ride. Start the Garmin I warm up good for at least least 15 minutes, either on the road or the track (warm-up good, especially for these...

Yes Joe, I have considered it, but I am trying to build the bike so it will be a legal "non-faired" recumbent for UMCA record attempts. I don't want to get stuck into the "faired" category if you know what I mean. Then I have to compete with everything else that is much faster. I will construct...

Here is how the points will be calculated. Reminder - please send me your email, then I can share this live spreadsheet with you. (larryoslund@gmail.com) missed the last one - sorry:

OK - Here is it - Anyone who wants to partcipate can start this next week - beginning with Saturday. =========================== The 1st annual: 2015 Cruzbike Fantasy TT Series It will be a 18-week long progression of different length TT's, designed to give everyone both a baseline for this...
