We will have our own convention! Maybe even with a little bit of barefoot skiing lessons.

Thanks for the report. So glad you have mastered it so quickly! Can not wait to hear how you tackle the hills.

Compared to Sebring the NH24C course it a "killer" course, plus the weather can be brutally hot and humid and there is a lot of climbing (known as hills) especially in that first 100 miles. I wore myself out in the heat and almost dropped dead from heat-stroke after covering the first 300 miles...

Hi Marko, I really enjoy watching all you testing and what you are testing. I test all kinds of things as well. I do believe that you are missing the opportunity to have better and more consistent, reproducible, and comparable results by collecting and recording the actual power (as well as your...

That is sad. I am hopeful that we do not have anyone in our Tribe that takes this stuff that seriously! :rolleyes:

Doug, Here is what I could find on my Youtube channel for Sebring that I thought would be helpful to you: 2017 Century: (gives you a good idea of what the first 100 miles will be like) The 11 mile loop: (this is pretty good showing the pit area available - and what you will spend the most of...

It is harder in my opinion to make the power going up those steeps grades so laid back. This might have to do with your heart being way lower than your legss not sure. I do not think I ever "adapted" to those steep climbs. I did not train for them specifically, I just trained to be able to ride...

I am dedicated to coming as well and plan on riding the Century for the first time. You should come Doug - it is a nice course and setup and lots of Cruzbikers to rub elbows with. I have some videos I can send you links to that will show you what to you will see at the "pit area" for the...

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Heal quickly I have had quite a few front flats (with tubes) - lots of scraping of bike parts and lots of road rash - usually at speeds in excess of 25mph. I have had none with tubeless. My observation for what it is worth. I usually run between 90-100 psi in my...

You guys are killing me!! :eek::( Sorry to hear it though - get well soon. You could still just come and ride the Century at whatever pace you can ride - just to be there!

OK - Who's going to Sebring this year and what are you riding? I heard rumors that Jason would not make it, and Bob & Tanya not too - and possibly Hardy too. "you slackers" :confused::eek::rolleyes: Jason and Pankratz off the hook due to distance, but Hope that is not true Hardy - you guys are...

So funny - unfortunately my wife would agree. :eek: as I have more than my share of accidents and strange injuries both on and off the bike! :rolleyes: However I submit this little video of a ride a couple years ago in my defense showing my stability when riding with my stubby bars. See when I...

You must be referring to the "turn-around" at Sebring last year in the first Century. That was not because of my handlebars, but because I was in a gear too big and started from a dead stop and had to turn and go other way, and probably not paying good enough attention. Yes - it probably would...

It is not really as bad (or hard) as it looks. At last year's Cruzbike retreat Jim, Alvin and others rode my setup and liked it. Said they were surprised at how "balanced" it felt! I think one thing that helps the stability is that my arms and elbows are anchored to my torso. I am actually more...

That is a real bummer Bob. (where am I gonna find another lead-out man!) You guys might consider: "Calvin's Challenge" in May - In Ohio so much closer for you. They have everything from Century to 24 hour. "Mid-Atlantic" in August - This is NC about 6 hours East of me. They also have everything...

Jesse - This matches mine, so I would say you a probably setup pretty nicely. Your feet might be higher than mine, but with that Thor seat you have your body is probably a little higher took, so feet and shoulders probably match up nicely too.

Yes - when you do not want to take in water, then the writing is on the wall. The key is to keep fueling and replenishing water from the beginning, then that will not likely happen. You are too kind. In reality I am just an old guy on a fast bike that trains pretty hard and fanatical. So, all...

I watched Marko's video where he compared power and speed with wheel covers and no wheel covers. Speed was within 0.1kph. Virtually similar numbers attributed to increased wheel weight making up for slight areo advantage. The thing that really stood out was his power. He was pushing 300 watts...

Welcome to the tribe! Answers: #1: Yes the Vendetta can accommodate both rim and disk brakes and you are even free to mix and match. When we did RAAM last year we ran a front disk and back rim. #2: Tires: I have ridden up to 28mm on my stock Vendetta. I am pretty sure you can use the S40 fork...

I rode a 4 1/2 hour workout today and watched the entire Sebring video from last year which worked out pretty good since the video is about 4:18 or so. It was an "endurance" ride averaging only .67 IT so certainly was not mimicking what I might "put-out" for a hard Century. Here is the...
