Bent Up Cycles: A couple of good questions from a customer
http://bentupcycles.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-couple-of-good-questions-from-customer.html
Sunday, February 10, 2013. A couple of good questions from a customer. As the race season picks up, I get more and more questions like this coming through my inbox. Read on, but please be advised that it gets a bit graphic about external catheters. If you are going to Sebring, have a GREAT race! I have a Bent Up Cycles Aero bag. I can put two bottles of water in, but for a century ride, I need more water. Do you have any ideas how I can carry more? I’m thinking about riding the century at Sebring. Finall...

Bent Up Cycles: Smoothies and integrity
http://bentupcycles.blogspot.com/2014/10/smoothies-and-integrity.html
Friday, October 10, 2014. It's been awhile since I posted anything here, and I thought I would take things in a different direction as I return to writing. I had an interesting experience yesterday. I was finishing up a ride in the 95 degree heat and thought I would stop at a relatively new smoothie shop on my route for a refreshing, cold snack. While tasty, the shop was very expensive.I posted my thoughts on Yelp and got a response from the owner:. Is there anything other than all-natural produce? Sever...

Bent Up Cycles: April 2013
http://bentupcycles.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 29, 2013. Wine and Waves 400k. I was really looking forward to this adventure! I rode this course back in 2011. And thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, reading over my blog post from that ride, it felt like I had almost the same ride this year, but without the knee pain. After the first 80 miles of climbing, the course is incredibly recumbent-friendly with great winds and rolling terrain. It warmed up a bit as I hit Highway 46, but with only about 8 miles to ride to the coast, it was bearable&#...

Bent Up Cycles: September 2012
http://bentupcycles.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 23, 2012. 2012 Las Vegas Grand Fondo - Vegas style, Baby! To say that I wasn't very excited about cycling around Las Vegas was an understatement. No offense to the residents of Vegas, but I really just don't like it there (apparently this is rather common among people who only spend time on the Strip). I had finally decided that I was NOT attending Interbike this year and was rather excited about that. Then Scott steps in. Hoover Dam was awesome! I had no idea how big it was, and took a...

Bent Up Cycles: July 2012
http://bentupcycles.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 07, 2012. Stories from RAAM - Food. I thought I would share some stories from our RAAM adventure that we finished a couple weeks ago. Rather than giving a blow-by-blow account of the race, I thought I would share snippets that I hope that you will find interesting. Let's start with everyone's favorite topic.food. I received a humorous email from one of our crew after the race in the form of a diary entry. It read:. Monday, June 18th, 2012. Q: What can I get for you after your ride? Food is...

Bent Up Cycles: February 2013
http://bentupcycles.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. The Gila River Valley 200k. Every year, I try to get out to a brevet in a different area. I feel that the exploratory notion of randonneuring can’t be met if you just keep doing the same rides, year in and year out. The Gila River Valley 200k came up rather quickly, but seemed like a good idea to get out to for a fast 200K in new area. This ride is relatively flat. It doesn’t climb more than 200-300 feet at a time over 5-10 miles. The challenge with this ride is the wind. I kne...

Bent Up Cycles: October 2012
http://bentupcycles.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2012. How to drill a carbon fiber seat for installation on a Bacchetta frame with a seat plate. Drilling a new carbon fiber seat for a Bacchetta frame with a seat plate ( CA1, CA2, or Aero) is critical to having the seat, and therefore you, aligned with the wheels. I takes time and patience, so you only want to do it once. And if you do it wrong, you are cockeyed on the bike. First read the article on how to attach your drilled seat to the bike.

Bent Up Cycles: San Luis Obispo 400k Ride Report
http://bentupcycles.blogspot.com/2011/03/san-luis-obispo-400k-ride-report.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. San Luis Obispo 400k Ride Report. The original plan was to do this 400k solo. My riding partner, Bruce, decided to do a different 400k, so I was on my own for this one. However, two weeks before the ride, Bruce decided to do the same ride, and we began making arrangements to get up to San Luis Obispo (SLO) together. This scenic climb takes you slowly up into the hills. On either side are horse ranches with horses, goats, llamas, and green rolling hills as far as you can see! As I ...
