I rode 9 laps of the pretty twisty curvy course in just under 2 hours 30 minutes. It was mid 50's F, totally overcast and some pretty good wind and gusts too. (Made riding full discs full of excitement at times) :eek: There were about 120 people riding so really tight in some places. (They...

They are great tires - just get some tubeless rims, then you will be almost flat proof - they are worth it in my book!

Dido: only put tubeless tires on tubeless rims - if you do, just do not exceed 8mph when riding.

I have tested various crank lengths from 90mm to 160 based on my 29" inseam and being about 5'7" The 4 key factors for me are: Less knee bend during the back-stoke: knee bend greater than 90 degrees causes me knee pain, plus when your knee is bent father than 90 degrees you are unable to make...

Yeah - get ready, that is what another 30 years does to you body! .. and it won't feel like 30 years either.:eek: so... when you wake up one day and all of a sudden you are 58 - you can remember this conversation - and then go and do your intervals. I'll be 88 and still doing mine - we can...

Great bike - a cobalt blue and white shirt would look great with it.:D:p:D

Thanks Ken, that was me averaging 207 watts for 2:10 - It was just Swift riding - chasing people helps keep the pressure a little higher. Wattage all over the place - good steady state riding - but nothing structured. Here was a fun workout at did Monday after I did 1-hr "Moosilaukee" TR @...

Kyle has the perfect setup. He lives in Florida, so basically flat. He can ride all year round chasing KOM's. Go for it Jon - Looks like a 2 man race at this point.

Everyone who wants to be tallied in my monthly Cruzbike KOM totals for the contest, please reply back to this thread so I can include you. So far I see Kyle = 11, Jon = 7, Larry = 0, Jason =1, Ratz = 0, Tanya = 0 , Maria = 1 , Jim = 0, Alvin = 0 Thanks,

I am sorry, I have not used the bags you have been talking with. Like many on this forum, I have gone from carrying a bunch of food on rides to carrying very little. Just letting my body eat itself while I ride. :eek:

OK - 5month rest period since RAAM ended is over. Most TSS since June!

So, are you going to join us in the Century at Sebring, or ride in the 12-hour?

Ask Jim Parker when Cruzbike's are ready for sale.

I just signed up for this event. Can't pass up a chance to ride the awesome looking Michelin test tracks! Who knows, maybe I can nab my first Cruzbike Challenge KOM there!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all as well! Thankful for Cruzbike, thankful for the forum, thankful for all the super friends I have made.

My stall speed is about 10mph :eek::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::D - I am a speed junky, and just hate to go any slower than that, so I avoid hills above 6% at all costs. :)

I was spinning at maybe 200-250watts right before the start. Probably should have been a lot more and maybe I could have hooked onto them. I will have to experiment.

haha - Not Jaso's fault. This out of shape "old man" just could not hang with big guys pushing 4-5 wt/kg over the first 1/2 lap. I held about 280 watts for the 1st 5 or 6 minutes, but knew I could not keep that pace for an hour. It was weird, I kind of got stuck in no-man's land. The group I was...

We'll see if I can keep up or not - maybe if I can learn to draft quickly I can. I rode the TT bike today, so my 15 min was a solo effort. I'll have discord on Jason - waiting for you. I'll probably have been logged in and riding maybe an hour or so, since I usually start around 5am. Look...

Maybe you can do it faster than 1 hour, but 1 lap today took me 15 minutes, and I doubt I can hold the same speed for 4 of them - perhaps if I learn to draft well, but I hear it is a learned skill! It was originally scheduled for 6:05, but then all of a sudden it changed to 6:20am. Another time...
