Thanks again everyone. Pretty excited about the race tomorrow. We drove the whole route today. Lots and lots of turns and crossroads! I am told that there is a group that rode the "Hotter than hell 100" in 3:26, and most of them will be here in this race, so it will be blazing fast! Sitting her...

Thanks again everyone. I'm here now at Chris's place. Unpacked bike last night and reassembled. It is 95% done. Gonna finish it up this morning and then scout out the course this afternoon. May ride that last 25 miles or so if time and weather permit.

Good idea, have them check spelling too!:eek::D

It's all downhill from here!!!

scary:eek:

It depends on who is tracking the "record". UMCA recognizes, road, outdoor track, and indoor track as different records. Speeds will generally increase from road to outdoor track, and also from outdoor track to indoor track.

FYI Jason - Strasser is going to do a 12 & 24 hour record attempt on a track sometime soon. My bet is that he will eclipse his 566 mile record, so if you beat it, beat it by a lot - Might as well train to break 600! ;)

C.R.U.Z.B.I.K.E ... paceline - Since it's a "sprint" - we can just break away at the start and they'll never knew what hit them! :D:rolleyes:

Actually I do, but not a really big one! (but I can see "the big one" - tallest peak off to the right is Mt. Pisgah. It's about a 5o mile ride to get to it, via the Blue Ridge Parkway This is what it looks like in the fall.

Way to go - welcome to the Tribe!

How many watts do you want? Since my race will be over before yours - whatever I have left I will text you!:D

I'm not sure how far away you are from Borrego. But, if it were my, I would ride one of the loops at the speed you want to maintain and see what kind of power it took you to do it. 200 watts for 24 hours is a tall order. You see able to do NP of 200 for about 12 hours on a mountainous route, but...

OK - stop sending me money! (I've honestly never thought I would say that!) :D:p:eek::rolleyes:;) But it feels good to do so! Even with the price of the plane ticket going up $130, and finding out that I have to pay $150 (each way) for the bike, I still have enough. As I said before - 'The...

You are funny Ratz! I think we both lost some wattage with our weight loss, but we are better off for it. Can't wait for the winter - strength building regime! haha But - first things first: There's still serious racing to be done: so - hope you guys "kill it" this weekend. Can't wait to read...

... Don't forget Jason getting chased by wasps!

Way to go Mark - great ride report!

The Tribe is amazing - Thanks everyone, for your encouragement and your funding. Your response literally brings tears to my eyes! I'm hoping to set up some kind of live gps tracker so you want to watch me live on your pc or smart phone if you want. Stay tuned - hunting for tickets now.. :)

Of course SuperSlim! If you have pay-pal, just send it to my email larryoslund@gmail.com (and remember to send as friend, so they don't charge me any fees). I think pay-pal will do whatever monetary conversion is necessary. Thanks!

OK - see this post if you want to help sponsor me. http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/help-send-larryoz-to-the-emmitt-smith-grand-fondo-century-on-9-17-2016.11328/ Double or nothing offer like Joe suggested!

Hello Tribe, I have just been informed by the race director for this event that recumbents are welcome to ride. Event info: http://www.emmittsmithgranfondo.com/event-info.html That is great news from an event that is following basic UCI rules. Due to be recently unemployed, I am financially...
