Haven't been around for awhile....life.....go figure.

My husband and I commute at least 4 days a week. 5.5 miles one way. The route in has one good hill climb with a nice down grade before you hit...

I can well sympathize with all of your post century aches, pains and fatigue. Trust me, you are completely normal. I road my third century today and plan to work a full eight hours tomorrow. My...

Completely feasible idea. We thought about that possibility but we were concerned about power loss and didn't have the time to develope the idea into a workable model. Our concern was Robs ability to...

Cooling the bikes and staying within the realm of human powered only became the big challenge and bain of all the riders. The rules clearly state that EVERYTHING must be human powered with absolutely...

Well, I did my second century ride on Saturday.I rode a Catrike Speed and my fiance a Catrike 700. The first 55miles were very hilly with 9% grades every ten minutes. It was painful....very painful....

I'm attempting my second century ride tomorrow, Sept 2. I'm curious to see if it's any easier than my first. I hope it is. I've been doing a lot of racing, one TT and pounding local hills in the big...

Our bike is the Varna Two, piloted by Rob English...the guy who looks half dead in the one full page picture. I'm the one holding his head in my lap after his first attempt at the hour title. The...

Hi gang, well, I didn't do the 40k at the Iowa State Time Trial today but opted to cut my teeth on the 20k and I'm glad I did. The course is for the most part flat for both the 40 and 20k, although...

Boy I'll say it was a crash course in reality for everyone! Thank you for the input and reality check. I'm facing my first 40k TT this weekend. I'll say this, I'm not fast, but I'm determined. You...

I'm in Western Illinois. We had a delightfully nice day with the highs in the low 80s. I celebrated the beautiful day and my birth month by riding my first Century. I didn't break any records but...

As a nurse I can say that it can take the human body up to a year to fully recover from the effects of surgery. As a soon to be 53 year old deep in the throes of menopause I can fully sympathize with...

I'm the crew, or as I like to put it, the bondo and bandaide lady. We've spent the last three days fitting Varna to the teams rider, Rob English, doing last minute fine tuning and the fun...
