Only three come to mind worth mentioning, all back in the 2008 "glory days" of the XStream prototype testing:

1) Clocking a team-best 51 minute-and-change lap time on the 20-mile Texas Time Trial loop (~23.5 mph avg) with the Reclining Flyers II (with Greg, Mark L, and Brad B all on lowracers), then pulling a 54-minute anchor lap (#7) at 5AM to help us break 24 hours for the 500 miles;

2) Breaking (and still holding!) the GDB 12K Time Trial record of 18:14, with a 17:51 (25 mph avg);

3) Doing the Italy 300K rando route in just under 12 hours total.

But my REAL Glory Days were apparently in 6th grade, where I set the standing long jump record of 7' 6" at South Elementary School, which apparently still holds to this day... Grin

I remember four years ago after heart and kidney cancer surgery the doctors telling me to get more cardio. I had not ridden a bike in 40 years. The first time I couldn't make it 1/2 mile at 8 mph. Yesterday on two split rides, 40 miles at 18.2 mph average. I was passed by a 20 something on a rode bike going the opposite direction. I counted to 30, then turned around, and the pursuit was on. It took me 3 miles to catch him. He told me he was trying real hard not to be caught, then when he saw how old I was, he was a little taken aback!

Phantom Rider Joe, it looks like Benttrekker Matt has thrown you a challenge!!! Smiley

Are you up to it? Smiley

Jerry, I didn't realize I was throwing a challenge... it was more in jest than anything Smiley

More of a personal goal, really. I'll tell you right now it's going to be a while before I can catch up to the speed demon that Phantom Rider is! I may be young, but I'm not stupid enough to think I can easily beat someone who consistently rides 19+ MPH Wink

new tires, new shorts

rode a normal 35 mile route this evening with 6 Strava PR's, a #2 best time and a 3rd best time. Averaged 19.9 according to my garmin for the entire ride, I'm still chasing that elusive 20mph avg ride. Mind you this route only had 900' of climbing on it but it sure was fun.

Watch your mirrors bentrekker Smiley

Looked at strava from this weekend's race. Even though I wasn't riding for speed - I was working solely on normalized power - I ended up with the 7th best 100 miles ever in this race. Even ahead of Raam machine Chris Hoppo Hopkinson. 5 hours 7 minutes for the century. I was off the bike for exactly 2 minutes the first 126 miles.

That's not an.all time best. I've broken the 5 hour mark before once, but I'm going to call it a PR anyway.

That puts my 200k at exactly 6hr28min, which is certainly a PR.

Way to go Greg!! And I thought I was doing good with 10 miles in 32 minutes for an 18.75 average with 452 feet of climbing, a personal best! It is real good for me. I took 4 days off before yesterday and my legs felt almost young again! Grin

The end of June will be 4 years since I started back riding. I only started training in December of 2014. Even with this old body and health issues, I have gained over 4.5 mph average since December. I need to lose 20 more pounds and another year of training for holding my average for longer distances. I am going to add a body sock to the Phantom and see if that helps. I am trying to spin faster, I stay in the middle chain ring and try to spin 90-100 rpm's, sometimes faster. No more knee pain. And what a cardio workout!

That IS good. No, great. And if you're doing it on a phantom, that's smoking! I feel you on the health stuff, believe me. Spin is king. I could have gone a bit faster if I'd been willing to let my cadence drop below 80, but I want. My knees never hurt, not even the next day, thanks to high cadence.
