Excellent Hamish! A 40K is a hard effort. Much of it is learning how to pace yourself. If you can find a local track (like behind a school), that is also an option. It does take little getting used to speeding around the corners at 40+kph, but there is no traffic and no stopping (unless you run...

Say it ain't so! Nooooooooooooooooooooooo. The Silvio is crying right now I think!

I ordered the shorts and some of those D30 elbow pads. Should be arriving next week But today, I just "taped" myself up with Duck Tape, just in case I fell again. It's not quite Kelvar, but better than nothing in a pinch I figured. and... I did not crash today.. so call it a GOOD day!

Congrats! Waiting for some BIG riding stories from you now!

Thanks for the quote! I don't need metal legs - just metal skin! :) Ordered a pair those shorts that ratz has - should get them next week. Also thinking about just making a small little "skid pad" off to the left near the bottom of the seat. Envision something like a little "ski-runner" or...

Adult Beverage? - Like Perpetuem, Infinit, chocolate mike (oops - that one's not adult - but I drink it anyway), other, ??? ??? - over my head - perhaps you posted to the wrong thread?? - or I am just "lost"??

Thanks all! I can't wait until I can do a century on a track during the day! Joe - I am sorry, I do not know what that means. Something to do with "terminator" movie? I did not see it, so it might be lost on me! :)

That would be Daryl Hanger!

Yeah Lief - It seems like I should be really good at it by now - both sliding, and healing. I just need to learn to levitate myself up off the V when going down. I am really praying for "no more". I think I should have hit my "quota" by now.

Can't believe it! My intent was to ride a "recovery century". i.e. A century at my "recovery" power of about 155 watts. I had a dentist appointment at 8:30am, so I got up at 3:30am and went to the track I usually ride on. Took my "Sebring" light with me. Darkness, 100% humidity with fog, and...

Well, if you remember, I did all this testing on my V with all the different Q-rings and round rings, and I came to the conclusion that since I am spinning in excess of 100rpm all the time, that the Q-rings are not really benefiting me. In addition, the Garmin Vector Pedals do not seem to be...

He Jon, Yes - I used round rings Fairing guys are way faster. Sean Costin on his No-Com with streamliner shell rode 35.195 miles in an hour .. Yes, the power meter thing is frustrating - it will work itself out I am sure. Glad to hear that both of yours match.

Hi Bob, I might be interested in your #1 set. I am thinking of just having a nice "training" set that I can try out the Tannus solid tires on. What is the "inside" width of these rims? Larry

OK - More videos from Northbrook: You can tell I am not really a sprinter, but I gave it my best shot! The 1 Kilometer Time Trial: Here is my video of the 1 hour TT at Northbrook. This was pretty funny (ood). About 2 minutes before the end: They never gave us the "white" flag: telling us...

Slim- Yes - I have been complaining about these pedals reading low for some time. Back when I got them, then seemed to match the KICKR really well. I have read other posts of people claiming the same thing. at least 20-30 watts lower than stages, etc. I know there is a rather "cumbersome"...

Thanks everyone! Here is the next video: 200M sprint - flying start - not my best moment - but I will be the first to admit I am not a sprinter!

Thanks Alan - Something is either wrong with my heart, or my HR monitor. When it was showing 221, it did not feel that high. If I look the data (https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/844515146) you can see where it "suddenly" goes way up, then back down again. Several times actually. So -...

This past Saturday and Sunday. July 25-26. Northbrook IL Daryl Hanger and I where there on our V's. Hope you have a good excuse Eric!! - Ratz - your excused - but barely.. :) Here is a link to all the results...

Great video Joe - so you do let them win sometimes. That's good, because if you win everything all the time, they eventually won't play with you anymore! :) Keep up the "V" work!

Congrats Paul! We all hope the 2 of you (You and the V) will be very happy together. I guess you'll have to change your name to VendettaRiderGuy, or VenRiderGuy!
