I got this email about a "come try a ride" ride at WRL that the TI Outdoor club is doing, on Sunday afternoon Mar 30th.  It suddenly occurred to me that this might be an interesting casual ride for the RBENT group to "invade," to demonstrate the wonderfulness of recumbents to riders "just trying it"...  There are 10, 20, and 30 mile rides available, so all levels of speed/fitness can join in!!!
 
Anyone besides me intrigued by this?    I know the organizer, who said, "Sure, come on out!"...
 
Here's where they're meeting:

A little bit about us…
The Texins Outdoor Club Road Cyclist club was started by a group of TI and non-TI cyclists who formed the 2006 Texas Instruments MS150 cycling team. We joined the Texins Outdoor Club in 2007. See our Infolink articles.

If the weather permits, I'm going to do the 30 miler with this group on Sunday.  Anyone else besides Foo wanna come down and let the rookie DFers see the recumbent grins in action??

Hum strikes me that some of the bents out at white rock today might have been from this thread.  Was anybody out there.  I was the annoying trike riding "the wrong direction"

I missed the ride due to Terrie's being ill, so none of them were me...

Wrong Terrie. Terrie is Paul's wife. I don't think Terry (MrOverdressed) mentioned anything about riding this event.
