[...] I did the first annual one by myself, back before I knew it would be annual at all. The second one a bunch of us — from all around the world — did together, and people sent in their stories, many of which I published here. [...]

Denville representing! Nice!

I should have tried this, but I can’t do a century right now. Too fat.

I did, however, ride in spirit on Saturday for 33 miles.

This is what I get for being too busy to read my blogroll for a couple months. I missed the coolest event ever!!

MattC Answers to your questions. Yes the front wheels have freewheels. We used to do this as kids on non-freewheel bigwheels, talk about an ab workout, you had to hold your feet up while the pedals whipped wildly. Average speeds of about 30-35 with spikes up to 40. I can get about 15 five mile runs out of a set of wheels. The aero tuck is the key it is all about the drafting. We have a better video coming out soon.

What a creative group your readers are Fatty! Rollers out on the road (how about in the back of a pickup going SOMEWHERE, while the rider goes NOWHERE?)

Nice vid of the Squaw Peak downhill on trikes…dumb questions: does the front wheel have some sort of a freewheel? And what kind of speeds are we talking about here…25, 35, 45mph (+)??? I liked the ‘aero tuck’ by pulling elbows in…and the360 by the cameraman is a nice touch too! How often do the rear wheels need replacing? All that drifting must take a serious toll on them…(but alas, I want one too!)

Oh, and finally, never said it the other day but BuckytheDonkey and your London Crew…WELL DONE! Your 100M.O.N. vid was awesome too! These last few days have been GREAT reading!!!

I’m also concerned about Jon not wearing a helmet, but it is mitigated by the fact that his bike setup may need some tweeks. I’m convinced his seat needs to be raised 3/8″. This should yeild an improved power transmission in the 85-110rpm range and also take some of the pressure off his “thinking” region, thus allowing his memory to kick in on the helmet issue.

I found the rollers outside HILARIOUS. I don’t know if that’s what you were going for, but thanks just the same.
