Thank you braddah. So close to 40kph for 100km, so I have a bit of work still to do.
My Very First Recumbent is a V20

Thank you braddah. I hope to be able to get the full 100 at 40kph, and then see what speeds I can get for another 50km.

I changed my 58t chainring back to the 54t for yesterday's ride, and I found that for the tailwind section where I gave it the beans on the tailwind section my cadence was much higher than what I've grown accustomed to with the 58t. It was surely in combination with the +30C heat but that higher cadence felt like it was really taxing me. I never use a HRM but I certainly felt my HR in the red zone. I had a feeling all of that was going to happen by dropping to the 54t but now I know for sure.

Doh! Broke my clamp on my V20 when changing chainstays. I will try to 2-part epoxy it back together, but I don't really think it will hold. At the DIY store I found a similar width almuninum bar and other metal bars that I might try to DIY but that is a long shot. Also, I will take this broken one to a nearby metal fabricator to see if he can make one out of steel.
