Just got a GPS so now I can claim the fame of my personal bests.:tumble:

Not much but the beach runs North to South and the wind was dead South.

Alright Willard, way to go. That would be moving on pretty good. One day I hope to be showing the same.

Aren't GPS units a lot more fun than knowing what the wind speed was !
Good Job !

That Monster Buggy will be a bit of buggy history in the future. I'll never forget the 1st time I saw it. :eekdrull:

Awesome! Good to see your setting/meeting your goals.

Great job, WIllard! That's squeezing the power out! I was out at Southwick beach today, and with 10-13 mph wind from the west, I hit 21.9 mph in my PL Comp Std buggy with the 2.4M NPW! No GPS, just a Bell wireless bike speedo, but it gives me something to shoot for. In an hour and a half I travelled 17.15 miles averaging 11.1 mph.

Nice

How did you mount the spoke sensor?

I used an 'L' shaped screw in type 'key hooS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K- to attach the magnet to, a la acampbell's tutorial "better buggy basic's" and to keep it from moving around, I caulked the heck out of it! gak I just had a look at my pic, I look shell shocked!lol
