When I was actually riding the hill climb my road gradiant % was usually showing 5% (and I think the avg grade was close to 5%. (Doing the math - 738'(if you can believe strava) climbed for 3milea (=15849') = 4.66% grade . On my data for the video it seems lower than actual for some reason...

Here is my video of the 5Km Hill Climb race: As a comparison, check out the overall winner (Richard) in this velomobile - just incredible - be nice to have that kind of power!

Yes, I really missed not being able to try a few things that were different. Most MBB bikes were not that adjustable - but I should have been a little more pro-active in searching out that ones that might have fit me and asked to try them. Maybe next year!

Here is the first video I shot from my bike the day before the racing began. We were supposed to tour all the race sites. They were in different towns maybe 6-10 km apart. tour of area and sprint site and Nandax:

Yes - truly awesome experience!!! Soooo many great riders and great people. Got to meet the overall winner last year (Charlie) - who designed and rode the POB! It was amazing to just see that Zockra bike. I would have bought it if I was tall enough. I did get to meet Malric too - and surprised...

I finally got home yesterday after my long trip, which included HPVA race in Northbrook, IL on Sat - where I crashed due to huge wind gust on track. I am trying to write up a full report. but thought I would tell a little about my sorry output in the hill climb. Martin may be correct - maybe a...

Hi Martin, I got the ages from the racers list that was posted on the door where were were staying. It had everyone's birth-date and age this year in the rightmost column. I made a copy of it and sorted everyone into age groups. Send me an email at larryoslund@gmail.com so we can correspond that...

Hope you are doing better Daryl. Sounded like a horrible crash!

Hi all, Yes I am alive. The place where I was staying in France had pretty bad signal so not much chance to post anything. On the way back to Paris area today with my UK buddies. It may be Wed (when I land in Chicago) or so when I can get last weeks (#5) standing posted. I off coursed missed...

I see you point Dave - and it might make things more "fair", especially for someone that is already near the top of their game when the challenge starts. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out after 15 weeks. Obviously we can't change the way we do points part way through, but...

Points are just determined by your ranking each week which is based off of you time compared to your PB.

Week #3 Results: We only had 15 people submit rides this past week. Possibly because of July 4th Holiday. I know I had to sneak a ride in early Sunday morning because I had been at the beach all week. Great results from those that did ride. 12 PB's out of 15 riders! Robert Onishi had the...

Neal - It would be helpful if you would send your results directly to my email: larry0slund@gmail.com - Thanks

Send me your ride from last week and stick it into the challenge and ride it each week. We have 13 more weeks (including this week) left in the challenge.

Please email me the link to your ride: larryoslund@gmail.com

Here are the results after the 1st week. If I can count, there are 20 of us right now - What a diverse group of riders! Just a little disappointed there are no women in the mix yet! The group of 25+ from Washington, NC (and they have a good deal of women riders - maybe 10) who are joining us got...

For Hydration I use the race case in the back and mount a bottle holder under the boom in the front (see pic) This give me 3 water bottles of any size - I use 20 oz (or 2 bottle and a large bladder - 2 or 3 liters I think) - This is usually enough to get me through most century races unless I...
