Way to go Jason! I really hope all of us can post a PR this final week! Thanks for putting a target out there for the rest of us to shoot at. For those of you who don't remember, Jason joined us in week #5 and averaged "only" 297 watts for that first TT - He has improved virtually every week in...

Doug Kline - if you see this - Anyway you can get David Cole to help out? I am not sure of the process of transferring a registration and how it works - or how you find out who is registered but cannot come, but there are so many people registered for this ride that I image there are always a...

Week #9 results: 9 of our 14 riders completed their TT for week #9. 5 set new PB's, with Maria Parker leading the way with a 98 second improvement. Way to go Maria! You are the week #9 victor! New PB's: Maria - 98 secs Cliff - 25 secs Rob L - 21 secs Jason - 20 secs Larry - 2 secs Interesting...

I would probably run a recessed "pin" through the old fork into the new sleeve. That should keep it where it needs to be. You surely don't want to loose any steering ability when you are going 30mph on this guy! Also: It just seems so wrong to have an "M5" seat cushion no an "M1" :rolleyes: You...

Way to go Kenneth - and great job! It sure would have been nice to see you in Castorville. I think you would have done just fine there. It was a tough ride and the rain and wind made it a little tougher, but based on what you did by yourself I think you would have been able to finish. It always...

Great - I am in - will see you guys there!

There is also the fact that you have to be more carefully and tentative when on wet roads. Not sure if power to go the same speed would be the same or not. Probably pretty negligible - like several seconds for a 20K or something crazy like that. Something us mere mortals do not really need to...

Week #8 Results - Sorry for the delay: 9 riders competed this week. Barry Williams takes top honors of the week with a 126sec improvement of his personal best! Congrats. 4 of us also recorded new personal bests: Jason 27 secs Larry 24 secs Cliff 21 secs Rob Lloyd 2 secs ..... Larry strengthened...

No need for a war. It is a fact that the position a rider is in (or can be in) on an upright bike gives them more of a mechanical advantage to make more power. Downside is pain and loss of aero. They can engage more muscle groups, and swing all their weight from side to side, plus I believe they...

It just stumbled on this YouTube Video this morning. Initial picture misleading also, as that bent not even in the list. Not sure I like that they are saying it is "expensive" - which it is not when compared to a high-end road bike that it can compete easily with. Did not give the Vendetta much...

I just love the way he says "recumbent" reck-um-bent! Amazing footage on all that snow and ice. Will have to put this on my place to visit when I ride around the globe on my Vendetta. I even invited him to my "secret test facility" :p:p:p:p

Fantastic video and report Giloun - great trail system. Makes me want to bring my Cruzbike there for a vacation! Good thing you did not scare those army guys too much when you passed them!

I was able to maintain 30mph at the Charlotte Motor Speedway on about 220 watts on my Arrowhead. 260watts I was able to average 31.7mph for 10Mile TT Stava: https://www.strava.com/activities/1137498904 Here is the video: Last May at CMS again - when they switched the course to the "Roval"...

There are a 1000 riders in the Assault on Mount Mitchell. They do not let anyone ride down for safety reasons - just too much traffic on the road. All you need is some wa-hoo coming up who is just a tourist and decides to pass "some cyclists" and takes up the other lane - and you are history...

From what I have seen, I fully tuned rider on a TT bike comes very close to an average recumbent bike's cD. I would say a good working paceline or better yet a huge "blob" of ridders would be able to be a single recumbent. Heck, look at the real time power numbers of some of those DF's ridders...

Thanks Robert - I saw it on your Strava feed! #9 down - only 1 more to go - rest up and kill it next week!

What is the date Doug? Is this durging the Blue Ridge Ride? If not, I will probably ride it again.

Nice! Leif - The way you have the V20 setup with the higher seat back (Thor seat I suspect) and the higher handlebars, it looks more like an S40!

Yeah Thanks - If you had come also, you would have you own category too! My setup for this ride. I am riding with my full drop handlebars and an 11x32 cassette with a 34x52 front Qrings. Wow that cassette looks huge! haha. I can climb 18% grade on that setup nicely. Odd the RWGPS says 21.2%...

I was looking at the route. I looks like there is one 51 mile accent that may have about 3000' of climbing in it. There are also 5 "major" climbs that all appear to have at least 18% grades to them. The final one is the steepest at 21.2% grade coming at around mile 173. We should be plenty...
