The split results are supposedly available on the tt24tt.com website homepage, but when I attempt to download the excel file, my computer tells me it is blocking a worm intrusion... Anyone else having this problem?????

Get rid of your virus protection software, and you'll get it fine.

John Schlitter and "The Reclining Flyers" Shatter Records in Texas

Bryan | 04 October, 2007 21:58
I'm a bit late on this one but I wanted to pass along some very impressive performances that took place at the Texas Time Trials. John Schlitter of Team Bacchetta set a course record in the 500 mile category of 29:02. He now holds records in both the 24 hour and 500 mile Texas Time Trial categories. "Team Reclining Flyers" (made up of Paul Brown, Bud Baker, Greg Gross and Steve Petty) also set a new recumbent record in the 500 mile four man category of 25:30. Congrats to all! There is some more coverage on the Recumbent Blog.

Paul,

Thanks for being in the race and doing an impressive job. I talked with John Wednesday night and he said you were pretty strong, something about you dropping him? Cool stuff, if you do anymore races let me know, maybe I can loan you a factory bike in ti.

WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!! Grin

That's sweet, indeed, Paul. It may be some very good timing. Right now, Randy just happens to be thinking about a RAAM run and putting together a racing team, and here's John telling him how fast you are on an XP. Maybe rather than a one race loaner, you should ask about getting a team price on a ti bike or frame.
