There are world records to be had riding recumbents. For instance the 12-hour record for women now stands around 241 miles, which many people believe is beatable with a more aerodynamic bike. The 1-hour record in a streamlined HPV is 84 kph, set this summer by Barbara Buatois. You could go after the solo RAAM records. If you want to stay with upright bikes, pay the money and get a good fitting at the best road bike shop near you.
