He was not serving me - he was just a guy I passed on the sidewalk as I was leaving the tag office! hah Yes - Billy got the same mileage as I did. Thanks so much Kline!

Funny - real life thing just happened to me today: I was walking out of the local tag office where I renewed the tag for my truck. I passed a guy, who "in my estimation", was my "elder" - i.e. older than me. Hi said "Hi, you came on the right day - no lines", and he said "Yes - Sir!" Moral of...

Thanks Skip for the Ego boost (I feel all warm and fuzzy now! ;)) - although I suspect that most any of you who could get out there and ride about 2 hours a day could probably do pretty much the same thing! :) I'm just an "old man on a fast bike".

Thansk - but I wish I had his youth - and I think he's been riding/racing for longer than me - I think he's more into tir's though! :0 Yes - he was on the same lap as me - He caught me because I was really loffing off those last 2 hours - He ended up with 250 miles - same as me! I saw on his...

Excellent strategy - even for a race - I'll order mine today! Note on that video of the guy popping that tire off the rim. He sure made it look easy. I have some tire/rim combinations that take a "pneumatic crowbar" + " a few choice words" just to get the tire either off or on! :mad: Why can't...

Hi All, Here is a link to the first video I have published of the 2016 Calvin's race. It is the last 30 minutes, which was really the most exciting part .. I do have about an hour of footage from support and all 12 hours of the race. I will be putting together a "highlight reel" with a little of...

SuperSlim - It is true my pulse average was 7bpm lower this year from last year, but my power output was also about 5-6watts higher on average, plus my weighted power average was more than "twice" above the average wattage. That was probably due to more time spent above the 300 watts range when...

I would be interested if they come in "latex" haha! I wonder if you can "feel" a "little" bump as the tire rolls around to the "2 ends" that are fixed. Are they filled with "air", or rubber, or what?

In my experience no - I believe the chain-stay is basically the same design. You know it's too tight when the BB bearings bind and your cranks won't spin freely. My first Silvio it was more obvious and I felt like you just described.

What Gary said times a "million"! - You are amazing dude! You can do this "and" ride a V up and down Californian mountains! Incredulous!

Here is a link to my ride report for 2016 Calvin's Challenge. Thanks again for the awesome support of the Tribe before, during, and after the race. And a special thanks again to the amzing on-site support of Andrew, Gary, Leslie, and Gretchen. We could not have done it without you guys! "It...

Fantastic - take some pictures for the Tribe - I'll bet it is beautiful!

Ditto on that - Ask her if she'll take me shopping next time too!

Thanks Peder. I video'd the entire race this year. I'll try and post the last few minutes where I passed the young "whippersnapper" in a few days! Putting the finishing touches on my ride report at well - hopefully will post it tomorrow.

Great ride - great write-up! Memories forever!

No not this year and not at Calvins. Average HR for the 12 hours was 138 (Last year it was 145 - hmm?) But truthfully I have not been pushing the upper HR limits like I was last year when it was happening. I only hit 167 for 1 second riding in this year's Calvin's event, and that was going after...

Exceptional ride Jason! Looking forward to your ride report!

Thanks everyone! Riding home now, Gary driving. A quick replay before I write my full ride report. It was so rainy and windy that visibility was horrible with slightly foggy and rain smeared visor. Worst sustained conditions I have ever ridden in! I literally prayed my way through the last 15...

Thanks everyone! It's almost 11pm here at my house. Just about got everything packed up. Up at 5am - Andrew T - one of our Calvin's support coming over at 6am. Pack his stuff and the rest of mine, then drive over to Gary C (BentAero - more support) to pick him up - then off to Springfield to...

Way to go - welcome to "The Tribe"! Pictures no doubt to follow - with you on the bike of course. :)
