I rode Lyell tonight. 3 1/2 hours of endurance - Ended up riding it at about the same NP as I did the Mid-Atlantic Century back in August: NP ~ 170. HR avg right at my MAF ~ 132 ... Rest day tomorrow before I embark on Ratz's 9 week Sebring training plan - O boy - can't wait I've been wearing...

In honor of Jason, I bought some donuts to eat during my 3 1/2 hour KICKR ride tomorrow morning, starting at 3am. :) Of course they are low-carb! :p

FYI: You can "edit" and of your posts. Just click the little "Edit" icon at the very bottom (of each post) to the right of your name and date. ... Sorry to bust your "get and extra 5mph bubble! :( But you are right - You will gain most of your speed by making your engine stronger. There are of...

Eric - That Bronze V2 IS beautiful. Congrats on the purchase. It was built by my good friend "bentaero" (lives close to me) - who for very unfortunate reasons can not ride any kind of bike any more. I was there when it was just the frame and watched him build it up. He was the reason I got my...

It is pretty dark dark right at the start but there are some lights around, plus lots of 24-hour guys have lights too. IMHO: If you are doing the Century or 12-hour - I will not take a light or batteries with me. Just more weight to haul around. You do 3 laps on the race course, but after the...

Nope - That is the bummer! I was told one year that you could, and I got there early to have some time.. but no go. The track is scheduled for race cars all day Friday (and Saturday during the day) - fun to watch - but no cycling. :( I'll find a post a link to my video around the track if that...

Next upgrade - Live feed of training antics! love it! :)

I never used them and I still have my head! Well, most of it anyway. :) My guess is the original designer thought that the headrest metal piece was going to need more support - but I think it does just fine, and I even hang a tailbox on it with 5 lbs of water bottles and some tools.

Nope and thanks how I crashed at 23 hours 30 minutes in my 24 hours in 2015 - and tore my rotator cuff. Good news is the mileage they give you credit for is if you are riding down the center of the racetrack. Of course if you hit he apex's right you pick up about .2 miles each 3.7 mile lap. I'm...

I could probably write a book on this. Sebring is totally self-supported. 2 years ago this Feb was my encore 24 and at Sebring. I took "everything" and I mean "everything" I thought I would need. (except proper fueling techniques and ability to ride through the night in sub-freezing temps). They...

You obviously must have got down OK - or you would have another, more exiting story to tell. :) Yes that is true. The 2 seaters are very light. And man, if you get a crosswind, they are pretty difficult to land in anything above 10 knots.. What you have to do is track down the runway with the...

Actually I do! Earned my private pilot's license in 3 months time back in 2011. But, my wife hates riding in small planes. They are kind of scary in the mountains - no place to land in emergency. :(

It's always great to welcome someone to the tribe, so Welcome! First ride stories are great too. All you need is some pictures now! :)

ONE of a kind Rick - You are a master as always with whatever you try! Kudos to you

Of course the seller could just edit the subject line with "sold" at the end. That was the reference could still be there for bike type., price, etc. .. or the seller could just remove the add after the bike or item sells. How hard would that be?

Yes - good plan - I'm in - I would love to get a team like Jason, Jim, Kevin, and me. We are not really limited by a team size either - maybe we can coaz Ratz down there too! With a team like that we should be able to do sub 3:45

No, I have not done any test with my little tailbox. It is pretty hard to take off and put on, so have not pursued it. I will see if I can get an extra headrest from Cruzbike and then I can do some decent testing. I will say upfront, as I don't expect much if any different comparable to putting...

Quite impressive Jim. This is so very close to my results and speeds with my testing at my local track earlier this year: I took the speed and wattage data from several different runs and ran them through Chung's model, after processing the .fit file into the CVS file needed for Chung method...

I can ride my V with little tiny handlebars, but only after learning to ride it with wider bars for a long time. I'll bet if he put some regular bars on it for awhile and learned to ride it that way, he might have a better experience. Then when he gets the hang of it, learn to ride with the...

Where have we seen Strasser's data - did I miss it? Would love the link to his Strava or Garmin file. I heard he average 250 watts on his last 24 hour ride - but have not seen this ride's data. For Marko: 216 watts average for 24 hours is amazing, but even more amazing is the NP of 258! This...
