... and no wrecks - even on rain slick roads - that is the best part. .. They have a local Time Trial series called "Lung Buster" . This is the only one I have been able to do this year. It was pretty fun to beat up on all those "old fashioned bikes". I could have had a better time if it was not...

We had the same advise when shopping for kayaks! We choose 2 single and are still happily married. 37 years this Aug 30. I have to make sure I don't schedule a race for that day, or might to be to "happily" . ;):rolleyes:o_O

I think it would be great fun. I tried to talk my wife into it but her response was: "There is no way I am going to ride with you. You go way faster than I want to go and you would scare me to death!" I told her she would not even have to pedal, and she could be the driver. I thought it would be...

Thanks Ken - I will try and mount my VIRB camera to the front boom. It should be an interesting video. There should be lots of bike on the course to.

Thanks Jon, you are if anything - the greatest encourager I know! I will come down and visit you, Lord willing, before we are both too old to pedal and balance these bikes! :cruzbike: Keep it fun - yes that is the name of the game! With that in mind I have entered a couple of 20K TT 's in my...

Thanks Jon - It was a pretty nice windless day so I can't complain about that. A few things that could have helped me go faster: A warmer day, since it was in the upper 50's when we started - You ride faster when it is hotter. If I could have worn my Casco speedtime helmet, but it fogged up...

Missing some digits I think Ken: Fastest Century for UMCA is 3:46:16 (indoor velodrome) I rode it in 3:48:01 (actually I think it is getting revised to 3:48:10) That is 1 min 54 secs slower.

It still qualifies as unfaired because it is not a "true" tailbox. It is actually a complete seat with a "drink holder and storage compartment" built into the structure. It does not join the wind flow back together so it is not a tailbox any more than the Cruzbike's race-case is a tailbox. Bad...

Ken, it has been touch and go as I had several people drop out at the last minute. But I do now have 3 officials and 1 support crew which is the bare minimum. Thank-you to Tony Holloway who also volunteered to make the 4-5 hour drive up to help if needed! I am up in Northbrook now (a 12 hour...

I switch back and forth between a Vendetta and a RWD Cf bike by John Morciglio. I do not have any problems, but since I ride primarily with little to no hand input (I ride with a single 12" straight bar - my "stubby") on my Vendetta, that is probably why I do not notice much difference.

How long is the segment? Must not be long if you are putting out that many watts: under 5 minutes I assume! :rolleyes:

I would buy one if the could make it go "beep, beep" (Road Runner) sound instead!

Congrats! I'd join you if NJ was not so far away. I don't have any advice to give you about asking to add recumbents as a class within your state. I have tried to get them to add them to Senior Games in NC and all they tell me is that they follow UCI rules. No hope if the is the case.

Thanks Ken - Yes many velodromes do not even allow a non-fixed bikes. Northbrook is different as it is not a "real" velodrome in the sense of the super high bank corners, etc. It is banked but not nearly as much, which makes riding at sub-30 mph speeds much easier actually. I was considering...

That 3:43 was a group ride that Marc mentioned. UMCA records have to be solo attempts. That record stands at 3:46:16. - still eye watering. I did a 3:47:46 on my local track without any support about 2 years ago "just for fun". I was stronger then I think, so I hope I can break it. The...

Look forward to it Jeffrey!

haha - That is really funny! What was the date of that? I guess in a way I did that, but Century and Double were probably solo. Did my first 12-hour at Mid-Atlantic on my Silvio, then my first 24-hour next Feb at Sebring. (I was not mentally prepared for 24 at Sebring however - as it was pretty...

Hi All, Since it has been a "slow" year for me, I scheduled a Century and 6-hour track record attempt. I will be attempting to break the fastest UMCA time recorded (any bike, any age rider) for a century. The record currently stands at 3:46:16 by Micheal Secrest back in 2011. It was on a indoor...

The were ProOne tubeless. One was slashed a good 2-2 inches. looked like metal. Other's were punctures - probably glass

This event should be the next best thing to the Cruzbike Retreat later in the year!
