Thanks Lief, Abbott, Bruce, Ratz, Rick, Yes the hand-off did not go well, but the fault was mine - I told Gary I would call him when I was close, but my phone was not working and I just showed up on the horizon doing 25. Sorry about that Gary! All the other hand-offs went off great, plus there...

Thanks everyone. Here is a rather funny video clip I made (from actual footage shot while racing during the Calvin's 12 hour event) of how to NOT ride in a peleton. It is probably what helped me win. It was obvious that I did not know what I was doing so no one paid any attention to me. Notice...

Thanks for the Kudos. That is awesome idea - "Save the Silvio". I have never done one of those things (fund me, or whatever), but I guess it would be worth a try. What is your timeframe for raising the money you need for this emergency and how much do you "need"? I know those are kind of...

That sounds like a good price to me - I think without the wheelset someone should be interested in the $2700 range. I agree with Bob though - kind of a bad time to have to sell it. Be patient if you can and explore all possibilities to borrow money for it, etc. Had any other calls on it? Does it...

Finally done. I think it took me longer to compile all these memories than it did to create them: Enjoy: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gogpjf30fbmd824/2015%20Calvin%20ride%20report%20Larry%20Oslund.pdf?dl=0

Thanks Jim - great write up and kudos to everyone on the "team" - I'll hopefully be submitting my ride report today, once I can get it through the editor! :)

Here's are the rwgps files for both Calvin's loops. If you studied these before the race, you would at least know somewhat what you where up against. At least for the turns, but not the road conditions. 50.5-mile loop: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/55010 7 mile loop...

I have no history with Cyclops trains on Cruzbikes - Hopefully some others will chime in Ratz for one probably knows - since he appears to have experience with everything made for every type of bicycle. :) I don't think he ever sleeps! I would think since the trainers are designed to set the...

Can you give us a run down on the components it has on it? That might make it a little easier.

SuperSlim - I think training at least 30 minutes at my threshold or beyond every other day really helped me with the matches part, but it did eventually zap me of energy. The last 2 hours of the race: it was hard to just keep it in the 21-22mph range, which is something I would do for recovery...
