One of the regular attendees came from Maryland. If you're interested and can make the time, I recommend it. Watch the forum on Recumbents.com for announcements and see what can be arranged.
The videos are fascinating, but they only give you glimpse of the scale of the event and the venue.

Amazing world record in the Aerovelo machine! Gives me the claustrophobic willies to think about being inside it, much less hauling a** in a straight line at high speed.
Kudos to all.

Thanks for posting, I was having trouble finding the final results.
Kinda shows real men dont need no stinking motor. I keep telling my middle son that who rides a Harley. He just grumps.

My friends that dont bike have a hard time believing that a man power device could do nearly 90 mph. Actually they kind of find it hard to believe that a man of my age rides approx 30 miles every other day. They golf with a cart, and get almost no exercise at all. The result is I am in good health, and they are not.
