    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    Great observation! and very interesting - I will have to pay more attention to if the mosquitos get around me or not when I go to the river for kayaking. I wonder if it works for Poison Ivy too - haha. I know it does not work for bees - they still like to sting me when I am doing yard work! :(

    V2 vs V.20

    Ratz - You forgot one - maybe the most important one: imho: THE V2.X WITH AWSOME LOOKING BOOM - IS THE YELLOWIAT/COOLEST/FASTEST/MEANEST LOOKING OF ALL THE VENDETTA'S, PAST AND PRESENT!!! ... just saying!!!

    For Sale: One-of-a-kind V2.

    This is indeed a sad day! Gary lives near me and he helped my build my first and second Vendetta - He is a master. We used to ride together a lot, and it is a shame he has not recovered from his foot surgery Gary - I pray for you all the time and I hope all your health issues get resolved before...

    Climbing and Sprinting technical talk

    I always thought that that would be a good idea. I ride with a little 12" stubby (suicide bar - some call it), for aero of course - which I am pretty sure puts most of my upper body out of the power equation, but I can still go more down the road at an OK speed. ;):eek: I thought that if you...

    N24HC 2016

    In an attempt to try and figure out how to ride through the night (for the N24HC event) and with what kind of effort (power), I took off to my "super secret test facility" last night "per a suggestion from Ratz", after my wife went to bed and rode for 6 hours. It was actually windy part of the...

    Mid-Atlantic 12/24 - August 20, 2016

    Not likely Ratz, with these skinny little things - (21" circ)! On the contrary, I have heard rumors that your thighs are like small tree trunks - someday when I "grow up", I want my thighs to be as strong as yours. That's one of my secret goals for a winter - build some more muscle mass down...

    I don't think they allow firearms of any kind at this event! :eek::D;)

    Mid-Atlantic 12/24 - August 20, 2016

    Jim rode a sub 4-hour in 2014. He and I placed 1,2 last year (2015). I am pretty sure Jim & Maria are going this year, and I am planning on it as well. Not much difference between the competitive and non competitive, except I think you don't leave together. You won't find a better or flatter...

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    That is one sweet looking Q-ring - and nice big 54 tooth. Looks like it almost came out of a sawmill, cutting trees down! Now is just cuts DF's down! :p Mine is only a 52, and QXL is a 53.

    For Sale Silvio 2.0 Package

    Nice bike - great price! I think I remember this bike! I took your old 1.5 up to New York with me, and traded it for a 2.0 4 months later I traded my 2.0 for a Vendetta 2.2. Nothing like the Vendetta

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    FWIW: I have both, and frankly I could not tell a huge difference between the 2. The QXL make shifting a little "less" nice from little to bit ring. I'm just riding the regular now - and have not even used the little ring but once since last October when I took my FD off

    Farther, Faster, Fitter, Fun - (4F - The unofficial Cruzbike training team and support group)

    Slim, I was in the same predicament. The other way you can "gauge" that you are in this "aerobic" range is if you can breathe easily through you nose and talk normally. I'm 56, and 180-56=124. That is really low, but the fitter you are the higher the number. (Same thing with the "magic" maximum...

    Fletcher Flyer event

    Yeah - I was sooooo glad he exited "stage left" - instead of "stage right" - which may have meant early Thanksgiving dinner that night!

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    I've not really kept really good track of my mileage, but looking back at Strava when I got my first Cruzbike in June of 2014: I logged 8200 in the rest of 2014, 13,000 for 2015, and 6,000 so far this year. That's ~27K miles, and I would say that well over 20K of those miles have been on my...

    Fletcher Flyer event

    As promised: here is the link to the 2 hour 50 minute YouTube upload of my last ride this weekend: It wasn't "officially" a race because then they would have to charge more and have a ton more support. Instead: about 1100-1200 people come out for a local "fundraiser" ride. Multiple distances of...

    Testing week in Asheville, NC June 25 - July 1

    That is in the plan - I just hope it doesn't take me too long to install it "in the field". I'll have to experiment some with it at home to hone the technique of taking it off and putting it on. Best idea would be to have it on I guess, and do the testing, then take it off for the next round.

    Fletcher Flyer event

    Thanks - I have the VIRB editor crunching the file right now - It has been running all night, and is 81% done now. It should have only taken about an hour or 2 to create. I knew I should not have upgraded to the latest software.. Aurgh. Then of course I get to upload it to YouTube - but it...
