Well, I'm here now (with my bride - Gayle) - bum shoulder and all.
As you can see - we are in a really tennie wennie place - Of course the bikes get the bed.
- we'll not really since Gayle is with me! haha But they do have to live on the bed during the day so we can move around the rest of our 12'x15' deluxe accommodations! I swear it looked bigger in the picture, but in all honesty I really forgot to account for where to put the bikes! :0
We left them alone all afternoon, so I'm hoping they mated - and I'll end up with the best of both worlds!
I rode about an hour today on the Arrowhead, but it was quiet hard, mostly because of my shoulder. But it was doable. I did manage to get about 10 "illegal" laps in on the veleodrome too and did manage a 29.4mph lap with a max speed of 35.4. This race is a 50 lap race on Sunday. Velodrome record is 27.21 by Mike Mowett on his M1 - 3 years ago. Not sure I can manage that with my bum shoulder, but we''ll see.
The road course is a really tiny 1/2 mile course with verytight corners. It was hard to do on the Arrowhead. I will gladly ride the Vendetta on it. I think this race is 25 laps on Saturday. Course record for it is 26.11 mph for a 20 minute race, so drafting allowed, but man that is screaming for an average on those tight corners. I did manage a 26mph lap today on the Arrowhead (and that was almost coasting through the tight right corner) so I guess it is possible, but it took accelerating up past 30 on the short straightaway to do it.
I'm gonna take the Vendetta there tomorrow and see what I can do for about 30 minutes or so.
More later.
