...and surprisingly, I was 45 seconds slower tonight riding the Velocity 26 on the GDB time trail (7.5 miles) than two months ago (20:20 tonight vs 19:35 in July). It may be the difference between the SXP having a fairing and the V26 not, despite the more "aero" positioning of the V26... or maybe I just had a bad night... lips sealed

But I still think the V26 is a better climbing machine...

Like my ride Tuesday in Cleburne vs the 1st time I rode the course with Peggy,Bud & you(Paul). I was a lillte slower Tuesday. Me thinks a lot of variables are involved. Sorry Paul, I wasn't congratulating you a slower ride. You posted just before me.

Won't see me challenging that in any way. I'm trying for 140 miles in 7:35, and will be thrilled if I can make it. Take Care, Nelson.

Excellent job my friend. My GPS showed approximately 1,000 feet of climbing, and bikely showed the same elevation.

I thought Schlitter's 2nd lap last year was under 50 minutes? I was at the start/finish line when he came flying through in excess of 30mph and saw the clock. Oh well, guess I was wrong. I do remember Dan saying that Schlitter recorded the 2nd fastest lap ever. Considering it was his 2nd lap of a 500 mile race, makes the time even more impressive.

I came down with a NASTY sinus blockage Sunday after my fishing trip with Bud, and today it's moved into my lungs. Just what I needed. But if the mucinex-d helps clear it out y Friday, then I will make Schlitter my b!tch!

Still somewhat blocked, but I can breathe a little. Oh and I was debating about putting some reflectors on the rear wheel cover. Any reason why I shouldn't?
