Title: "Recumbent Day" ride, Sat. July 8th
Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Jun 16th, 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 ..

I really want to come but my sister and her family will be in town from CA that weekend and I'm not sure what the plans are yet. I put it on my calendar to remind myself. Also....I'M BACK ON THE FORUMS! :-D It's been a minute.

Gee, sounds like fun.  I'm in, at least in pencil, in case lightning strikes.   [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

I would love to do another ride with the group, but I've already committed to the Peach Pedal with other recumbent friends.  Gotta have that peach ice cream.  Everyone have fun.

Maybe. If I don't have guard duty, uh, I mean baby sitting.

Can't do it after all, my family wants to go to the Peach Festival from 8-10am so I don't get to do this ride OR the Peach Pedal... /pout

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!

I hope everyone had a great ride. I didn't wake up until 7:30 this morning after 13 hours of guard duty yesterday. The two grandsons kept wanting to race me and the corovelo. [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]

Thanks to Paul for putting together a pleasant ride.  The best part of all for me?  Oh, that delicious iced coffee, brewed from beans roasted right there at Full City Rooster.  That's must be what made the difference.  Brought some home to see if I could recreate the experience.  YUM.   [smiley=cheers.gif]

Sorry we missed your ride but we had already committed to the Peach Pedal. Hope y'all had great fun. We ended up missing our ride because I woke up feeling ill. Slept in, then we rode over to the Peach Festival (we are at the KOA).  They we're STILL serving Peach Ice Cream when we left the festival at 2:30pm.

They must have learned from previous experience, running out of the coveted ice cream.  They must have become notorious for it.   :-/ :'(
