http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=125602 This is the exact Vendetta I rode in Calvin's Challenge on last year. I traded it to "Jim" for his M1 about 6 months ago. He said he just can't learn to ride it. He lives somewhere in Northern Florida for a reference I can...

http://www.recumbents.com/wisil/calendar.asp Well, I'm here now (with my bride - Gayle) - bum shoulder and all. As you can see - we are in a really tennie wennie place - Of course the bikes get the bed. - we'll not really since Gayle is with me! haha But they do have to live on the bed during...

I got some leg extensions and need 3" more now.... That pretty much sums it up. :) You can email me at larryoslund@gmail.com if you have one or know someone who does....

This is my front yard - It has been snowing now for about 2 days. Everything is pretty much closed down around here right now.. Of course I just had to be able to say that I "braved" the 20 degree elements in my biking shorts only - Yes I do have them on. My wife made sure of that - she...

Alvin Maxwell and I made the 12 hour drive from NC down to Tampa on Monday, and rode with Kurt Searvogal (and others) the following Tuesday. I had hoped of getting there before dark on Monday and hook up with Kurt to find out when and where he was starting in the morning as I had hoped to ride...

Merry Christmas everyone! Look what I found under my tree for Christmas!!! Just kidding of course - my Christmas tree isn't nearly big enough for this fleet. I had asked for a new "motor" for Christmas, and I looked and looked, but I just could not find one with less miles. :) So, I am keeping...

Rarely do we do "one thing" so stupid and life threatening, even rarer do we do 2 stupid and life threatening things in one day, or perhaps even in our lifetime. But - I was witness to someone so dense that they did 3, yes 3, "stupid and life threatening" things all in he course of a one hour...

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...

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...

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"...

Recovery day, so I took the opportunity to do some more testing: All testing done with 88mm wheel on front. 60mm on rear, power at 155 watts, 3 mile testing on 1/4 mile oval track. I put a set of 170mm cranks back on my V20, and calibrated them to 170 on the Garmin = lap 2 Then I re-calibrated...

This is from my latest ride at Carrier Park, the track I will hopefully do my outdoor track Century attempt this fall. It is so funny to watch me pedal from the front of the boom looking back. About a 2 minute segment. No power or cadence since my Vector NOT WORKING!! See me pull my water bottle...

Can't believe it! My intent was to ride a "recovery century". i.e. A century at my "recovery" power of about 155 watts. I had a dentist appointment at 8:30am, so I got up at 3:30am and went to the track I usually ride on. Took my "Sebring" light with me. Darkness, 100% humidity with fog, and...

This past Saturday and Sunday. July 25-26. Northbrook IL Daryl Hanger and I where there on our V's. Hope you have a good excuse Eric!! - Ratz - your excused - but barely.. :) Here is a link to all the results...

I have friend name Shlomo who purchased Maria Parker's V1.5 (The one she set many records on). He was hoping to ride it alot, but had a bad accident (not on the bike) and had his back fused. He can't the V at all. He has not even ridden it 100 miles since he purchased it 2 years ago! He even...

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...

Yes - I am kind of a testing nut. But I figure I ride recovery every Mon, Wed, Fri, so why not do different testing and capture data while "recovering". :0 Might learn something that makes me faster! Today I tested riding with a regular "drop" style handlebar with hands outside resting on the...

Hello everyone. I would like to gauge interest in and propose an: Annual Cruzbike Fantasy TT Series This is something to what Ratz and I have created and implemented on a training forum we belong to, and I thought it might be fun to do on this Cruzbike forum too. This is basically what I had in...

OK - I finally did it. I compared the XQL Q-ring to the regular Q-ring, to a regular round chain ring. It was not exactly a one-to-one comparison as my XQL Q-ring is 53, my regular Q-ring is 52, and my circular one is only 50, but I adjusted cog teeth and rpm to make speeds match. Variable...
