Aero-bars, .3 mile, so that’s how you go fast! Next year Disc wheel! And a skin suit. Then the neighbors will really have something to talk about.

Great job!

Well done! I had thought my just under 1/2 mile was challenging, but yours was even more so! I know what you mean about the lure of the house, passing it so many times. You have to then set a strict schedule to keep from falling for the lure.

I bow to your superior mental discipline! That’s a lot of laps!

@Retro Italia – go for it! I wouldn’t say it was fun, but it was worth it.

@Heidi – Yup Everett WA and the neighbors are avoiding me just a little more right now, probably questioning my sanity.

@Jeff Bike – I considered switching directions but it seemed like a bigger challenge to do it all one way. Maybe next year I will “unwind”.

OMG 325+ laps that’s about 1300 corners, well I guess you can turn one way now “wax on, wax off”.

Good job – now the neighbors will have that much more to talk about! Everett as in Everett WA? (asks the former Seattleite…)

Brilliant report!!! You have inspired me to give this ago. Now I just have to find a loop to do it on!

Discipline extraordinaire! Insane. Considering all those corners, never really being able to get up to speed, you turned in a remarkable time!

Honestly? I think riding such a short course is even more challenging than riding the rollers/trainer. Not that I’ve done either one.

I love that the kids from the neighborhood got involved. Thanks for another uplifting, inspiring story!
