2016 - The world human powered speed challenge

Speed Week - The World Human Powered Speed Challenge 2016 Comes to a Close

More world records and another top speed for Todd Reichert in ETA.  As always the best overviews of the event in Battle Mountain with full results and great photos comes via Biking in a Big City.  But since I was able to head up to the event with a group of students from my school AACT, with some faculty as we prepare to build our own trike for next year's event I thought it would be good to share a big batch of photos of these pretty incredible machines during the races and at the Tuesday show and shine.

Here's a nice story on the event fro Al Jazeera.  Much more press, spectators, and new editions to the event to be seen this year.

Had to get a t-shirt and poster

Packed house!
