Although a bit late with this article, it is still interesting and in a way very important as we haven’t been used to virtual records. So read it all here.

Caleb Cline set 10 new virtual recumbent trike records on December 20, 2025. The 10 records were recently verified by the World Ultra Cycling Association. He rode his custom ICE VTX trike on a Garmin Tac X Neo 2T trainer connected to the app Zwift. Zwift continues to help raise awareness and equality for para athletes by adding the recumbent handcycle avatar in their indoor cycling app since September of 2022. In 2026 they have added the recumbent trike avatar to the platform as well.

From Injury To Supporting Others

Caleb is a US Army Veteran who was medically discharged after being involved in a training accident in 2019. This is not Caleb’s first try at a world ultra cycling record. He has previously set 10 recumbent trike road records in 2022, and still holds the 24 hour, 300 mile, and 500 Km outdoor trike road records.

After Caleb was injured in 2019, he battled with his mental health on top of recovering from his physical injuries. The doctors told him that he would not be able to do many of the things that gave him purpose in the past. He received his first trike in 2020 through the VA Recreational Therapy Program (Wounded Warrior Project). While his success in Ultra riding was not instant, Caleb quickly found his groove, setting solo outdoor road trike records in 2022, competing as part of a team in the Race across the West in 2023 and in the first all-mixed disabled team in the Race Across America in 2025.

Caleb founded the “Rusty Dogs of War” nonprofit organization in 2020, bringing together other disabled individuals to help them achieve their dreams and break through their perceived limits. Demonstrating that even if your body, mind, and soul are a bit “Rusty”, you still have a “Dog in the fight”. Find the Instagram page here.
