Title: Recumbent Cyclo-Con
Post by jrob_bent on Dec 29^th, 2017, 8:52am

Recumbent Cycle-Con will be in Nashville, TN at the Fairgrounds October 12-13-14. On the 13th & 14th, there will be HPV racing at the Fairground Speedway. This is the closest HPV race to the Dallas-FW area. Only 666 miles from downtown Dallas to the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway.

I am hoping to ride from Leesville, LA to the Natchez Trace Parkway to Nashville and do a little racing. Anyone who has wanted to race and meet some very nice, friendly people, this is your chance. The added bonus is the Cycle-Con itself. See you there!

We ride on the dark side of the cycling world and we have to travel 666 miles. Fitting. [smiley=stirthepot.gif]

Colleyville 696 miles, Plano 668, Ft. Worth 698, Plano 659, all from the city courthouse to the Speedway. Just numbers, nothing else!

Daniel (Square Corners) and I are seriously considering riding to it.

Its closer to 750 miles when you use a "cycle" safe route. I've been planning one .. Here's the current incantation

All right! I am planning on riding from my mother's house on the TX-LA border, about 15 miles from Leesville, LA. It is around 160 miles from Natchez. Maybe we could coordinate our rides to meet up on the Natchez Trace. It should be a fun time in Nashville. How about some of the other strong riders on this site going. Maybe if enough show up, it could become an annual event. Maybe some one with better organizational skills than I could get an HPV race started at the Texas Motor Speedway! I would help all I could.

It is a done deal and here is a link: http://www.recumbents.com/wisil/calendar.asp .

I still plan on riding there from either my mother's house in LA or from east side of Dallas. I hope to start from my mother's house and ride the Natchez Trace Parkway to just outside Nashville.
