The competition is right around the corner, and we have 1 goal: WIN! The finishing touches are being put on the bike include a fresh coat of bright yellow paint, the permanent seat, and an aerodynamic fin. The riders have been able to give the bike a test drive and things are rolling smoothly. The safety team is putting together the safety video for submission, and finishing up rollover testing to ensure our riders would be safe in case the bike flipped over. The team is excited to hit the road and show everyone how to build the fastest bike.

With everyone back and well rested from a great Spring Break, it's time for the team to kick it into high gear. The competition is only 2 weeks out, and a safety video still needs to be produced. The team has decided to ditch the adjustable seat and mount a fixed position seat. This will make a more robust design, but limit the flexibility for rider comfort. With the riders chosen, we'll tell them they just have to tough it out. The drive train team has put in a lot of work to get the wheels spinning on the bike, and it will be hitting the ground soon ready to race.
It's the week before Spring Break and only 4 weeks until competition, but we have 99% of the frame done! There will be some minor additions along the way as the drive-train begins their setup. The adjustable seat rail still needs to be welded into place, but the main frame is complete. A ton of work has been put in by a lot of people, so a huge shout out to them!
