Last Wednesday, Nicole and I did another TT at Charlotte Motor Speedway. We did manage to break 30 minutes, unofficial time was 29:48. This was a good effort considering that Nicole twisted something in her back during the day and it caused quite a bit of discomfort the entire time. We still managed to finish last but that is OK. Maybe next month we can move up a bit. We are not last in the point standings but we need everyone in front of us to miss the last two events in order to move up in the standings.

What would Jens do?

I found this on the WWW today and laughed out loud. Thought you would enjoy it also.

What Would Jens Do?

Cyfac, a french bicycle manufacturer has two tandem frames in their 2010 lineup. Both available in custom geometries and handmade in their french workshop.

The following post is not cycling related by any stretch of the imagination.

While waiting for my neck to recover and for parts to arrive for the only cycling purchase (other than maintenance items) of the 2010 season we have been doing other things to cut down on our living expenses. Gone is the extra phone line, gone are the additional set top boxes, gone are magazine subscriptions, as well as cutting back on most recreational/discretionary spending.

In an effort to not do so terribly bad at the Time Trial series we have added a few things that might bring us just a bit more speed. Even if it doesn’t actually make us faster at least we will look and feel faster.

Here is an image:

We also have some aero bars for the tandem, but we need a lot more practice before we feel comfortable riding with them.

We are signed up

For the Time Trail Series at Carolina Motor Speedway. Look for us putting the tandem through it’s paces at the track. We will also try to get video of our attempts to embarrass ourselves. It should be a fun time. The following links back to the Endurance Magazine Time Trial Series page and explains the event and how to register.
