Bob, I like this. Have you Bob, I like this. Have you ridden it loaded yet? The one thought that comes to mind is rain and wet and how well I've seen the Quest's seat pan acts as a fender/mudguard. Do the Radical's come offer liners or covers for wet? -Eric

My official result was My official result was 7:26:24 and they gave me a nice certificate with my name and time on it. My moving ride time was closer to 6:45 but I felt the need to take advantage of the two manned rest stops and two impromptu stops. I did spend a little bit of extra time at the...

Finished the Century, not Finished the Century, not sure of my time yet. Straight into 20+ mph winds on the closing leg which felt really, really long. Especially since my wheel configuration for my speed and distance sensor is wrong AND I forgot to start Cyclemeter until a good way into...
