jure robic, on the way to his record breaking 4th win- that’s our conference bike in the background, 8 of his slovenian army crew went to ride in with him on it.
jure almost falling off the bike as he comes in to the time station:
his team car blasting what i can only imagine was the Slovenian national anthem-
I went by the finish line today and hung out for about a half hour or so before I had to leave to meet someone for a ride, but no one finished while I was there. A few competitors had finished already by the time I got there, I’ll probably swing by again some time tomorrow since competitors are expected to be finishing until sometime friday. I must remember to bring my camera next time too.
^^^i didn’t even notice that one big runs on gears w/no chain! also those pics of the inside of the shop are amazing! i imagine your boss could make a killing on ebay. does that one nos frame have a price tag of $200?
according to math, you’d have to average 16mph, and that’s if you were riding for 24 hours straight. i dont understand how it’s possible. if you rest for say, 6 hours, you would have to average 22mph. guess thats doable if youre really in shape.
“Riders consume 6,000-8,000 calories a day of food and take in 400-520 ounces of fluid (3.1 - 4 gallons).”
better start training now, team tarck.
im going to ride some centuries pretty soon. my most recent sorta-long ride was 75 miles and i did it in a little over 4 hours (fixed, 42:13). WEAK.
Your shop is awesome. Goldie-shoes legs make me feel emasculated. And it does remind me of Cycle Smithy, Rusty. Even down to the Trimble hanging from the ceiling.
