Yes, but did you remember to pack the pinwheels?Oh I'll be riding disc on the rear.
Make my own wind turbine.
But it's not compatible with my rack (thru spoke mount) so that rear wheeL on the Vendetta is just a spacer.

Hmm - 4:30am Pacific time ....I was testing my crank lengths again on a local track - of course it was 7:30am my time, so not quite as early.
Goooo Lief. Hey - Bob - did he or your create a public group for the Glimpse updates? If so, what is the group name, I've got the app, just need to know how to connect to see Lief myself. Thanks
If this app works good, I'll try and use it on the Assault on Mount Mitchell race. It is this coming Monday (5-18), starts at 6:30am EDST.

102.7 miles, over 10K climbing - just a Sunday afternoon ride compared to what Lief is doing today!
Maria, Ben and I will be in a field of about 1000 riders.
According to Jim, there are the current "bent" records:
Here is an unofficial listing of AOMM recumbent records:
Fastest man: Doyce Johnson, 2000, with a time of 6:39 on a front-faired Easy Racers Gold Rush.
Fastest male rookie, 2014, Charlie Ollinger, with a time of 6:53:48.
Fastest woman: Maria Parker, 2014, time of 7:25:53 on a Cruzbike Vendetta, (also rookie-year record)

Unfortunately I was dealing with an episode of hypoglycemia. But it gave me an excuse to cheer Lief.

I believe his chase car is posting periodic non group links to his private facebook page.
The first one had a short expiration on it; I think they figured it out now. The current one is good for 4 more hours.

Still holding strong at 23 mph. Favorable winds for now; 10-15mph From the NW.

He's been hauling. When we talked before the ride he was hoping to sustain 18 mph. He's blowing that average up. He's already almost to Moses Lake and it isn't even noon. Go Lief Go.

Yep the only 17 going on is the hwy number right now. Pretty much out of the hills and on the flat now.

Thanks Bob for the updates. At 80 miles left, how many has Lief ridden so far?

Near as I can figure he's now 60 or so miles from the finish. The route was ~254 miles. So he's about 195 into it. Saw a 40 mph reading not too long ago.

One other thing to note is that I'm pretty sure the Glympse phone is in the SAG vehicle. Average speed is fairly accurate but individual speed numbers may be deceiving.
