I will be attempting the 24hr and 1000k road World Records July 31 at =
7am.
The event will be based out of the Queen of the Valley Inn, La Conner, =
Wa
LINK . All are welcome, I would love the support.=20
More info can be found at ragsdaleridesagain.com
Also a Live blog will be posted to my site so people can see what's =
going on real time and add comments. There will be pictures and =
hopefully video as well.
The goals for the ride are 542 miles in 24 hrs to break the existing =
record set by Italian Orlando Borini, on my birthday June 23 in 2007. =
The goal for 1000k is under 29 hours. Currently the fastest 1000k ever =
(standard bike) was set by Australian Rod Evans on an indoor velodrome, =
29:12.
I will be on a 10.839 mile loop almost perfectly flat with about 9 of =
the miles on beautifully smooth road and 2 miles of it is maybe a 6 out =
of 10. Not horrible but ok. No stop signs, all right hand turns with =
one of the intersections being a stop light that stays green the =
majority of the time in the direction I am coming into and turning =
right. I need to hit 50 laps exactly in 24 hours to break the world =
record.
There will be 4 officials, and a minimum of 6 crew, rotating out of two =
vehicles to provide seamless support. They will hand off all bottles =
from the vehicle and will be relaying both my time splits and their =
comparison to previous records.
Yes I will stop to pee, but hopefully not often and will correlate that =
with other tasks like bottles, possible wheel changes, stretching etc. =
My goal is to have less than 5 minutes not rolling. I feel that is very =
realistic.
The road is open to cars, but again I never cross a lane of traffic so =
hopefully even a little mid day saturday traffic won't slow me down.
I don't plan to be a steady eddy. Use it when you got, and recover =
quickly and efficiently and get back on it! The plan is to ride at =
25-28 and hopefully recover at 20-21. Spend more time above it than =
below it and when all is said and done I need to average 22.52.
I really am viewing this entire thing as a process. It's going to =
happen, I just am not sure if it's going to be the first or 8th try. =
But I have thought about this a while now and really believe it is time =
to start the process. I feel better than ever on the bike and am =
excited to have a ton of support
I will be riding a Litespeed C3 with syntace clip on areo bars with bar =
end shifters. Many wheels available but will likely run a Tubular Disc =
and the front will vary from 404 up to 1080 tubular as well. Saddle =
Fizik Aliante.
Food- Any thing they will give me, current favorites, Chocolate pudding, =
and Otter pops, and the old standards. Heed, Ensure, Coke, Jelly beans, =
Bars.
