I was going to say 1.7 stones - I sounds lighter and faster that weigh. (Sorry - couldn't resist)

that's what they make condom cathedars for Ratz! Only problem: Hard to put on - even harder to get off!

I'd almost believe you accept I know that the UCI doesn't even consider a bent a "real" bike!! There's a whole set of Fondo's here in the South East that won't allow recumbents to compete because of the "unfair advantage". Most of the rides are 10K feet climbing. What a pile of do-do. If they...

This was really cool Ratz - I download it for Cyclops and showed it to my wife last night. Now I'm gonna have to mount a rear-facing camera I guess to keep up with the Ratz's. o_O Next up - Google cam on the top of the helmet for 360 degree views - not aero at all though.

Ratz, I didn't know you had than many dimples on your face/head! Give them time, I'll be helmet makers start making dimpled helmets - heck they might do that already for all I know!

You young whipper snapper's. I'll be 56 this year - old and almost all grey - Guess in 4 years, I just have to get the "Fast after 60" edition. Assuming Joe F writes the next decade one - If not, then hopefully I can live to write it! :)

Yes - 2 full discs are do-able, I road 2 full discs down in Sebring this year for 24 hours. You just have to be alert "all the time", especially on the open road. It is quite tiring. Certain trucks generate a massive amount of wind against you. Also coming into an area that is open and allows...

I ride 150's and love them. To me it's all about how your legs are built too. The length of each section, etc. On the out-stroke you don't want you leg to be over-extended, so for most a very slight bend in the knee is the best setup. Once you have that dialed in, then take a look at what you're...

Thanks everyone - you guys inspire me too - It is such a great group to belong to - so much knowledge, advice, fortitude, sharing, etc. I do have to update the data that Gary posted on me though: My distance was really only 60.2 miles, so I did miss a true 100K by nearly 3K, so a more realistic...

Fantastic pictures Rick - and of course a fantastic ride too! I agree with everyone - I just would not have recognized you without the V under you. It's funny for me all dressed and ready to ride - I feel and look just anyone. Take me off the bike and helmet off, then I just look like an grey...

He already does that on his super-cool one-of-a-kind Bronze Vendetta - He's definitely going to have to get some matching decals for that wheels set though - probably already in the works!

Does it come with a bike? :)

Looking great Gary!! I guess I know what you'll be working on this week! Plus Q-rings - plus shorter cranks - wow - that's all my secrets now... :)

Wow - That sounds like a great deal Drew. You must post some pictures.

Thanks for the shot Gary. Had fun riding with you and impresses with your ride too with you foot pain. Keep up the good work! My first outdoor multi hour ride since shoulder surgery. Left arm and shoulder a little on the week side from 4 weeks of non-use. Did not feel stable enough to be on the...

Crank lengths: My personal view is that if your knees are bending past 90 degrees on your back stroke and correctly extended (just short of straight) on the push, then you need shorter cranks. Good knees or bad, young or old - your knees will thank you in the end, and I think your power will...

You are faster than me Rick! - plus with pictures - you are the MAN!

Sam, you just click on the person's image to left, a new window will open up, and you click "start a conversation"

Yeah - that was too easy - especially since off topic - thanks for not taking the bait. So to stay on topic and avoid further ridicule: here's my companies bike parking.. and check out that rear light too!

Hi Lucia - Thanks again. Too bad we will not see you at Calvins - have fun in DC. Hey - can you look into a way to input Excel spreadsheets into a thread, or at least a way to "insert" a row/column type of data. Thanks, Larry
