Good Luck ! May a movie of your ride, or at least take pictures your can share with everyone after - so we can live vicariously through your adventure!

Ok - Here's the view of the last 5 minutes from the rear camera.

The funny thing - Jim and I were actually the "marks" - Jim and I did not talk any strategy before the race either, but the 3 Bachetta team members came hunting for us. I was a wild ride, and those turns were truly wicked. (Jim - after watching the video - your suggestion about breaking away...

Thanks Jason - That's a new high HR (190bpm) in a race for me. Pulse averaged 181 for the last 1.6 miles, which was for 3min 16secs, last 32 minutes I averaged 170bpm, so probably some excitement induced beats during that period.

Team Cruzbike should issue a challenge to John and Jacquie - it would be cool if they put together a team too and we raced head-to-head!!!

I finally downloaded and processed my first video from today's race. It is only the last 5 minutes of the race and from the front camera view, but definitely the most exciting part! The rear facing video view is even better, as it shows everyone trying to chase me as I passed them - I hope to...

I have the Di2 upgrade: the aero version that has the aero-brakes with the little button on the side for shifting and it has been working very nice for me for almost 2 years. I also just got a the aero version of SRAM eTap, (which Ratz also has on his V20's), but have not installed or tested...

Getbent: I have had both a Silvio and a Vendetta, and currently ride a Vendetta V20. It is so fast it is scary and truthfully it is so fast that I don't even have to ride hard to keep up with the A group rides where I live. I can embarrass them anytime I want, but usually don't until the very...

Jason: For these to be verified & certified, we are going to need some video I think! haha Be safe out there (Due to all the slides I've taken, I just don't seem to have the "heart" or desire to see how fast I can go anymore - Maybe I'm just getting old - or don't feel invincible anymore like I...

Great job on the build - Looks so much like a Vendetta that it could pass for an early prototype!

You can fix just about anything temporarily with zip-ties and duct tape!

Most of us can relate - changing the front tire is no picnic. My worse experience was kind of "opposite" of yours at least from the "heat index" aspect. It happened to me a on an extremely "cold and rainy" day. I actually got to flats that day - I was about ready to scream - and throw the bike...

Blessed indeed Jason!

Nice - You are not too far from me. I live in Hendersonville, NC Let me know if you come up this way to ride..

Bummer Joe - Hope you and your bat-mobile are ok now! I won't try that since you did - I mostly like sliding down the road on my butt! :)

I decided to take a step on the "wild side" and go join the regular Tuesday night group ride that is about a 20 minute drive away from my house. I was told they leave promptly at 6pm, and ride a 26 mile loop, and that the "fast group" does it in about an hour. I was also told about 60 cyclists...

It just points out to the guys on the DF's that you are so fast that you can even pull a couple flags and still whiz by them!

I guess he learned it was better to watch from the basket than dangle from the leash! Smart dog.

Oh yeah - and my favorite one: Are you disabled, since you have to ride this thing? ... and then they ride with you and see you are clearly NOT disabled - but instead, they are!

Yep - There's time to slow down and smell the roses, and there's time to put the hammer down! Variety is the spice of life - and of course it's always good to know you can "put the hammer down!" Keep healing. :) .. Sure wish some of us where not so far away from the others - It would be really...
