Title: Early notification - 'Bent Event, April 19th
Post by mlibrik on Jan 30^th, 2009, 3:04pm

The 2nd annual Easy Street Recumbents 'Bent Event will take place Sunday, April 19th from 11AM to 6PM at Easy Street, 5555 N. Lamar Blvd #C-127 (SE corner of Koenig & Lamar, behind Goodwill, behind the herb shop).

Planned festivities will include a group ride or two in the central city, various mad scientists and their wheeled creation, all kinds of recumbents and enthusiasts, Velomobiles from Velomobile USA (probably a Qwest and an Alleweder), Texas made recumbents, Florian Schlumpf's 2-speed unicycle (only a few can shift it "on the fly"), a two-speed fixed-gear bike, music, food, and anything else we can think of.

For questions or comments, or to get on Easy Street's mailing list, contact us at service@easystreetrecumbents.com.

I'm keen to get some of the out-of-town Bent-heads to come visit, but I recognize the hassles of getting you and you wheels down to Austin. Let me know if coordinating carpooling would help. I can chip in on the gas, especially if you can bring some interesting and exotic machines. By all means let me know how I can support a RBENT presence at this event.

Sounds like fun, I needed an excuse for a road trip. Hmm maybe not since I am driving a couple of thousand miles for the catrike rally.

Sounds like a reasonable road trip!!! Aso, I forwarded your notification to Randy Schlitter, at RANS.

I'd sure come if we were planning on making a few laps around Mellow Johnny's. ;D DJ

Ride made the front page of the metro section, Monday Morning.
There is a large color photo showing two DFs and a Bike E.
The article was about Oswald not cycling.

This ride isn't until April. Did you mean to respond in the thread on the Oswald ride?

And this thread, of course, should be in the Upcoming Rides forum. Maybe I should move it.

EDIT: Ok, I have moved this thread to the Upcoming Rides forum, where it should have been all along.

Are any of you riding to the Bent Event in Austin Apr 19th? My daughter will be riding up with us early Sun morning but will be continuing on from there on to Waco. She was wondering if there would be anyone she could ride that far with. Maybe leaving early Mon morning.
Thanks
