Re: Recumbent wins BAF
Ted,
I think JTN could be right. Without taking anything away from him, it had to benefit John that the main group got peeled off with a bad turn before the finish. John was doing a solo effort, and a pod drafting in a group and using strategy would have the advantage, all other factors being equal. |

Re: Recumbent wins BAF
There's pretty slim pickings available if the plan is to go out and beat
upright racers with a bent at an organized event. Them's the rule's, no debate needed.. So we are looking a racing only at the citizen level. Sounds like they were all taking it seriously and trying to prevail. The average speeds seems to be in the typical road race range.

The course will wind through the outskirts of Orlando and finish in downtown Crystal River. The event, dubbed BAF 2004, will commence with an official-send off from Mr. Beeles, the mayor of Cocoa Beach, marching bands military colour guard, high school cheerleaders and a motorcycle escort. Last year's male winner Bill Blancher and female winner Lisa Blixt will be defending their yellow jersey. It will be the first time that the BAF will end in downtown Crystal River where the mayor, supported by the homecoming queen, will be presenting the winner's trophy. |

Re: Recumbent wins BAF
coming from Florida I can attest that the "rides" down there are faster than
all races except the state champs. other than that the rides far outpace the races in the past.
