[quote author=aikigreg link=1438537627/0#2 date=1438562378]I like my new ride. Found out it belonged to Clown #1 until last year. It is an Actionbent high racer. With a little adjustment and tweaks, it will be a lot faster. When I get home the two tubes come off the chain and replaced by an idler. Those tubes are quiet, but rob speed!

Jerry, that particular bike was my second recumbent. It's a fast bike with the chain tubes. A speed record was set on an Actionbent highracer equipped with stock chain tubes: http://www.recumbents.com/wrra/records.asp?MoreInfo=Yes&ID=43.

Dunno. 9? Construction and rush hour would keep me from getting there earlier.

I'm heading to TMS tomorrow for a 40k TT if you want to join me JROB or anyone else.
I plan on being there ready to roll NLT 7 am.

Oh no that's not good. Hope you get to feeling better and get well soon. I think I will also pass then, I have honey-dos around here to catch up on and the wifey wants to go on Saturday with me and ride her trike around too. TT will have wait until Saturday [smiley=pepper.gif]

I would love to, but unfortunately I can't. I went out for a quick 10 mile ride this morning in Argyle before having to babysit my grandson's. Instead, I have been taking care of. I was riding up Harpole Rd. past Argyle High School, when I was stung in the right upper chest by a big red wasp or whatever it was.. They told me I was allergic to the sting, and I have a big red, puffy chest. I am still short of breathe and a little nauseated. I just hope I can drive home Saturday morning.

Good luck on your TT. Maybe we can get together this fall and do some riding. [/quote]

Hope your sting is better. A wasp got me on the leg on yesterday's 90 mile ride, and it looks worse than most bites I've had.
