Welcome

The main goal is to use an optimum man-machine combination to break world records. The Cygnus team consists of technical specialists from various disciplines. Between them they have many years of experience with fully faired recumbents both in racing and in designing. All Cygnus team members are racers at the highest level. Every year they compete in national and international competitions such as Battle Mountain, the European Championship, the World Championship, and the Michigan Human Powered Speed Challenge, but they also attempt to break records on the tracks of RDW, DEKRA and Opel.

Friday morning

This morning was a nice and easy one with sleeping in, having breakfast, and for some, spending some time on the warm-up bike. Then to the Civic Center for the ridersmeeting and the allocation of the slots for the heats during this evening runs and for the next morning. After lunch we went to a street near the High School where the drag races were held. Sjaak, Thomas and Erika took a turn in competing. Sjaak was one of the faster riders, but not the fastest. Erika turned out to be the fastest of the ladies on a Cannondale road race, borrowed from Robert Barnett.

Back at the hotel we split up in two groups. One half went swimming, the other group stayed at the hotel room for some needed rest.

    "sleeping in"

    We BRITONS have a word for people who engage in this kind of behaviour, and it is this:

    GITS!

    You'd better have something to show for it tomorrow or I'll get the P*nct*r* Fairy on your case again :-)
