Well, the course record of 18:14 still stands, in part due to a 10-15 mph south wind...

My time: 18:16.........

Brad's time: 18:15........ Tongue

But, I'm happy with it -- 17 seconds faster than last month, and was one second (!) behind a guy 15 years younger and 35 pounds lighter on a carbon VK2 with a Zipp fully covered rear wheel worth about $2000... Not that I'm COMPLAINING, mind you!!! Grin

Guess I DO need that coroplast wheel cover... Wink

WTG, Brad!!!!

From the time keeper:

Temp-hot Wind-Yeah, there was a SE wind Dist.-7.5 miles
Name age time speed (mph)
Bents
Brad Bedell 36 18:15 24.6575
Paul Brown 50 18:16 24.635
Regular bikes
David Kelly 32 21:06 21.327
Brent Aston 22 22:33 19.9556

I came to a complete stop during my run. There was a car stopped in the lane turning Left. I didn't unclip, so the stop wasn't long, but it was a stop none the less. Probably cost me 12-15 seconds, if not more as I was upper 20mph when I had to stop. No course record for me Sad

Maybe next month or next year.

I can't say that I'm a convert, more so than just like riding something different from time to time. I still split my weekly mileage between the two bikes. But to answer our question, about 2 months now. I still have a long way to go to get my legs conditioned to the new position.

Thanks you answered my question. What NEW mussle groups do you feel are getting worked out now with the Low Racer?

20:04 or 20:05. I forget, I've got a mid to low 19 in me on the DF. My conditioning is considerably better than it was when I did the fastest one. With the Disc and time trial bars, I'm sure I'd be fast. I'll probably go out and do one solo on the DF at some point. Even without official timing, I'm sure I can get close on the actual #.

Nice work, fellas! That record is GONE next time around!

Waaaalllllll...... Looks like you were right, Greg! This afternoon was the next running of that same GDB club time trial.... And the 18:14 record is, indeed, GONE... Cool

I posted a 17:51...... Tongue

....a 25.2 mph average.

Yeah, baby....

Brad wasn't feeling quite up to snuff, but still posted a very similarly fast time to last time, around 18:19...

Another excellent showing by the "cheater bikes"... Wink
