Title: Mesquite Memorial Day ride and pics
Post by FlyingLaZBoy on May 28^th, 2012, 1:35pm

Had a nice ride, and there weren't two of the same bike in the bunch, I don't think...with Steve S (Tour Easy), Kenny (V3), Jim A. (Giro?), Bob Millay (Musashi), Tony (SXP), Dave Rothgeb (SXPTi), and myself (Xstream) on 'bents, and three other GDBers along as "token" DFs... Went down to I-20, regrouping here and there as we went, where we encountered one Bob Wand on his Catrike, so we had a nice conversational break with him at the Exxon before heading back. Some of us took the way back along Barnes Bridge, and others did the regular Tripp Rd. return. I wound up with 41.5 miles, and we finished right at noon.

Got some good pics, I'll post 'em later...

PB

...and a bit of goofiness seen back at the parking lot -- the kid could barely steer this thing!

These pictures seem so strange...It wasnt that long ago when Paul was the only recumbent.

I dunno about THAT, but I HAVE been asked "Did you design that?"

Is that a kid? Looks like a full grown man on a bike that's far too small for him, or he's just lowered the seat to make it feel like he's riding a chopper motorcycle. LOL. What a weirdo...
