RCVman Sentcha



Dateline: Forest Grove, Oregon.

Heya Howdy VBA, we made it to Forest Grove about an hour ago, five long and hot hours from RCV HQ. 230 miles to the South. This for tomorrow's Hagg Lake Olympic distance triathlon. Not too many events can claim 30 years of history as this one can. It was one of the infamous races on the 1983 Bud Light Series which also included stops on Washington Islands Mercer and Bainbridge. What were YOU doing in 1983 (when I was building houses on the aforementioned island of Bainbridge)???

So we have some history here. I have raced this venue enough to know its nuance. I have filmed it several times as well, and respect the shadow to light ratio as well as power to weight. It is a tough shoot and a tough race. Hills in the forest will do that to you. I am doing both tomorrow. We'll test the new bike cam configuration (a spring loaded stabilizer to diffuse road vibrations the latest upgrade), and re-test the intensity vs quantity theories you know so well.

All this means, simply, that I need to steady the camera more and run faster. Piece of cake.

That is tomorrow.

Today's news is that the much anticipated CompuTrainer summer sale is officially on. And it includes RCVs as well. BIG NEWS!!!!

Not only can you get $100 off a new CT but the complimentary RCVs are deeply discounted as well. It's kinda like having your cake and eating it too. More accurately, it's like shooting perfect racing video and winning your age group to boot.

More on cakes, video, training, racing and RCVs later. I promise.

Photos from the drive down. The RCV Exploder in Oregon looking back at Washington. And the worlds best indoor power meter now on sale. Just tell 'em RCVman sentcha!!
