"Recumbent Day" ride, Sat. July 8th
Jun 16^th, 2017, 9:33am

Borrowing an idea from a FB post... celebrating the anniversary of Francis Faure's hour record on a recumbent, which occurred on July 7th.

SATURDAY, JULY 8th -- Let's repeat the Full City Rooster coffee ride, with an 7:45AM rollout from the south end of WRL, out the Santa Fe trail to downtown, through downtown to the Trinity River trails, then stop at Full City Rooster for coffee and snacks, then back to WRL on the Santa Fe... Or we might do FCR before we hit the trinity trails... Bathroom breaks, as needed, casual pace, NO DROP.

Tempting -- I was planning on doing the peach pedal but could be talked out of it ..

Gee, sounds like fun. I'm in, at least in pencil, in case lightning strikes. Smiley

Gotta have that peach ice cream. Everyone have fun.

But the good thing is, y'all will get to eat some homemade peach ice cream. I've never done Peach Pedal, because I've always heard that the ice cream is gone by the time the riders arrive back in Weatherford.

Good to know. That's a bummer about no ice cream for the riders. Peach ice cream would be a perfect ride-ender on a hot summer day!
