The other guy in the video (Kyle?) looks totally unenthused and almost embarrassed to be with Darren.

Okay.......This is not suspicious at all! Not at all! Just on the first day we get a GPS tracker and now he is back in Dallas doing nothing.

That was a planned stop in Dallas for media relations.

How would you know that?

Has he been sussed out? wrote:

Have the sleuths, trolls and seekers of truth and all that is good in the world done all the usual checks on this fella, you know, criminal, company, jobs, wives, girlfriends, social media, conflicts of interest, etc, etc.

You could of course read this thread........

I've got a life, but as you don't seem to have perhaps you can enlighten me.

It would be simpler to just get Asher Delmott to come out.

As others have mentioned earlier, Letsrun doesn't do "boots on the ground".

Not everyone in here even lives in America, i dont, or i would certainly try and find this fraud if he was passing near me.

Dont be too cocky this wont happen

Because this Dustin is a mate of Darrens.

He's the same DustinR that replies to Kavinoky's tweets and is a friend of his.

"Media relations" I think you mean media SCAMMING.

Perhaps I will be proven wrong, but save for Asher Delmott, Letsrun does not do boots on the ground.

What's my win? Not wearing white leotards and a baseball cap underneath a bicycle helmet.

KavinCrocky keeps outing himself as a scammer with his ridiculously inappropriate equipment and attire choices. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Earlier in this thread I pointed out the absurdity of using suspended mountain bikes for ultra-distance road riding, due to their weight, rolling resistance, and poor aerodynamics.

In this latest video, where our hero describes his "crash," I see that he and Kyle aren't even wearing cycling shoes or using clipless pedals (Probably because KavinCrocky would crash for real if he tried using that interface), which is absurdly inefficient for cycling.

Kyle is wearing squishy running shoes -although his bike at least appears to have toe clips- and KavinCrocky's bike only has flat pedals, a type of setup appropriate for a novice rider doing beach cruising. Please

Kyle has definitely just been riding with platform pedals and running shoes all this time and added toe clips somewhere along the way, probably when he switched from his first hard tail mountain bike to the current full suspension one. He has always been wearing baggy shorts on the bike!

Kavinoky started off with just platform pedals and baggy shorts with his first bike that had weird bar ends mounted near the centre of the handlebars but appears to have switched over to clipless pedals when he got his second mountain bike (the Specialized hard tail). I think he switched over to spandex biking shorts from baggy shorts a few weeks back (not sure when).

You can tell Kavinoky is wearing a version of the Specialized Body Geometry mountain bike shoes for clipless pedals in black with a boa dial if you zoom in on the picture they took with the Texas Highway police. Probably explains why he has been crashing so much, he is not used to clipless pedals.

I believe Kavinoky is using blue anodized Crank Bros Mallet E pedals on his bike if you zoom in on the pedals. From afar they look like platform pedals because they do have a platform around the eggbeater clipless part. But not 100% certain about it because there are no clear shots.

Darren sees every problem as an opportunity, so when I close line this fella off his bike he can maybe let me have a spin of the what's my win wheel of fortune.

Is a whole day of laundry also planned for today instead of biking/running? Kinda funny they decide to take a whole day to do laundry just 2 days after riding with a GPS tracker for 1 day and then 1 day of total rest.

I'm not sure why he, or anyone else, thinks this trip is worthy of any coverage whatsoever. And his personality is grating at best, so I really don't get it.

What a strange day and age we live in.

Do either of these guys look like they biked (since I guess running is no longer claimed) from CA to TX? Come on man...

Looks like our hero cracked even faster than Rob Young. ONE DAY under observation and he already hit the wall. I had high hopes this would approach the glory days of June '16 but we're a long way from that pinnacle in LRC history.

They look fat, especially Kyle. And some more cycling analysis, the mountain bike Kyle is now riding costs about $3000-$4000 and Kavinoky's current one about $2000-$3000. With the costs of their previous bikes (which were not as expensive), plus those helmets, biking shoes, and other cycling accessories they bought, they spent about $8000-$10,000 for this stuff. Those sponsors must be paying a lot of money to them if this is just what they spent on bikes.

And it looks like they just got a new sponsor in the past couple of weeks, Liquid Grids. They are totally in it for the money. Saying otherwise is an insult.
