Best ride video I have ever watched Tor - Would love to do that route sometime - put it on my bucket list! The timing with almost the longest days of the summer was also a great choice! Question - You appeared to be riding on gravel for a while - over the steepest and highest part of the ride I...

Great write up of your first impressions. I have a V20 and love it. My first Cruzbike was a Silvio S30 almost exactly 5 years ago. I had never ridden a recumbent before that and the learning curve was huge for me. I traded the Silvio for a Vendetta after about 4 months because I was addicted to...

Hi All, We are off to a great start of this years Cruzbike Summer TT Challenge. Right now I have had 18 people say they will participate and already have 10 results for the 1st week. I know we have at least one person from UK participating, maybe more. We also have 25+ members from the...

We'll all probably miss at least one week. I will be in France for almost 2 weeks at the Worlds there, and will at least miss one week.

I am a horrible standing starter. I relish the opportunity of not having to try and clip in from a standing start. I am horrible at it! :rolleyes:

You can do whatever start you want. Most people do a rolling start just because a standing start is a PITA without someone helping. I try and roll up to my line at around 6-8mph or so. Just try and be consistent. Ideally the same bike, but not in the rules so you can do what you what. Some...

Great you are able to participate. Please send me the Strava Segment you are going to ride (larryoslund@gmail.com). If is doesn't exist, it is best to ride or drive it first, then create the segment. This was you have totally control over the segment and can play with it until it is exactly what...

Sounds like Jason would still have trouble getting to the mountains. Unfortunately, the distance needs to the be constant, since the time will always change and also be different for each rider and their level of fitness, bike choice, etc. We also have trimmed it from 15 miles to 12 miles to...

I am sorry Jason - I did not know it would affect you so greatly. It was really complicated to handle both indoor and outdoor rides last time, especially when people had different Zwift and outdoor rides to deal with. I myself must drive 30 minutes each way to get to a decent TT route. I am...

Not sure what this means Jason - We decided not to do Zwift for this challenge, so it must be an outdoor segement. :rolleyes:

What is it? The Summer Cruzbike Time Trial (TT) Challenge Series is a 15-week cycling challenge that is created and administered by Larry Oslund. It is officially approved by Cruzbike, and yes, Jim and Maria Parker will participate! Week #1 will begin on Monday June 17 - and last through Sunday...

David - don't let this little thing stop you from going! :) It should not be too hard to just build a side guard that matches the Q-rings shape. I will be working on it myself soon. Even if you went totally round and it was a little large that it needed to be, seems like it should work. I guess...

Fantastic - I will be great to have you there too!

Come on over David - you certainly are closer. Then we can have 2 Vendettas!

Based on their profile below: This little route doesn't look too bad. I can eat up anything in 3% range with pretty high speed. The total elevation gain in 12.3Km is only 184M, so not too bad really First "climb" is 2.9Km with rise of only 86M (which is only 2.9% avg grade). The V20 will not...

No Problem Ben, (and others who are interested) Here is my "estimated" expenses - trying to be as cost effective as possible - by staying in a school dormitory - to save lodging $.

Hi all, I suddenly have the opportunity to compete in the World Human Power Vehicle Association's (WHPVA) - World Championship races on July 19-21 in Nandax, France. Due to the high cost of getting there and back with my bike, I could really use some help to cover my expenses. As of this...

Haha Jon - No , but it probably would have been! :eek:

That is a super nice looking MBB Marc! Thanks for you email - replying soon

That is pretty comical! I saw you listed on the credits: which one were you?
