Good Deal Greg! Glad you can race!

As far as lights I will be running the same Fenix flashlights that have served me well everyday on the commute to work, and for every night brevet for the last couple of years. These things have proven very reliable. Seems every 6 months or so I have to clean the contacts if they act a little reluctant, but after that they truck along again. I really like not having any wiring to mess with, and a couple hose clamps make for a very secure mounting system. I will be running one on the OAB, and one on the skewer mount. The only thing that tempts me away sometimes is the very nice new generation of LED generator lights. My generator hubs are all gathering dust, but I have yet to work up to selling them off.

Take Care,
Nelson.

Actually, I think it would be a fantastic experiment, have him alternate every lap. When he gets finished we could then compare his average lap time between the upright and the 'bent.

I like that, might be sufficient handicap that I could keep him in sight for lap!

I did it for one lap in 2007, and although my time was comparable my back hurt from one lap of being down on the aero bars that I didn't do another.

Take Care,
Nelson.

Good memory Greg. I alternated laps on the 4 person 500 mile race between my Ti Aero and the custom Ti Seven w/aero bars. If I remember correctly, my avg. speed was at least 1mph faster on the bent, and my max speed was definately higher, while avg. heart rate was lower. UMCA published us that year.

This year I'm thinking of switching between, or including in the mix, my new 29'r Fisher MTB, especially if it keeps raining Smiley

Haha, that was Driscoll being funny. I mentioned to him that I'd bring along my DF in case the 'bent caught fire some time during the ride. He said "Great, we'll give you your own category!" I thought he was kidding...

I still like my DF, but things would have to go pretty wrong for me to get it out at the TT. Although, since I'm the only one currently in that group, maybe just finishing would get me RQ. Smiley
