Cyclevision 2010 Six Hour race - view from the back of a Sinner Mango velomobile

http://hembrow.blogspot.com/2010/06/cyclevision-2010.html
On the weekend of the 5th and 6th June was the Cyclevision event in the Netherlands. I took part in the six hour race on the Sunday, riding the same Sinner Mango that I ride to work, with Harry's camera mounted on the back of my Mango. These are a few bits of video from the first hour and a half before the battery in the camera gave up.

Are the two brother really named Bentlage?

[DavidHembrow]

@MewFushisDad Indeed they are. Their names are Ulrich Bentlage and Heinz Bentlage.

hi I am the wobbly bloke on the M5 high racer who drafted you for a while. Interesting insig t it never feels like I'm wobbing that much when I'm riding.

[DavidHembrow]

@mbeyst Hi Martin, good to hear from you. You featured quite a lot in the raw video. I guess in the first part of the race (the battery only lasted for an hour and a half) I was just the right speed for you.

Just read that one of the competitors did 31.11mph (50.05kph) average for the 187.96 miles (302.5km), amazing !

[DavidHembrow]

@HLaB75 Indeed, but that wasn't enough for first place. The winner did 322.5 km - an average of 53.6 km/h ( 33.3 mph ) for the six hours. You can see him go past me at 9:46 in the video.

Great video and sound track David!! I've never done a recumbent race before but after seeing this I'm inspired to take part in Cycle Vision 2011! Thanks for posting.

Awesome video David. A speedy Mango point of view on miracle Cure music (one of my favourites). Thanks for drawing attention to your video channel this afternoon!

[MewFushisDad]

@DavidHembrow Very Cool. I guess it was destined that they would be riding a "bent" with a name like that.

I've just watched your video twice. Awesome footage and awesome music. I'm going to have to listen to more of the Cure.

Thank you for this David. A really excellent video, and a good sound-track.
