I came across Johnathan and some of his buddies in River Legacy today and they plan to make the ride as well as me. Not sure what miles are available but it's all great scenery so guess it doesn't matter too much. If Eddie joins us, we will most likely come over in his truck, if not, I'll just ride over from the house.

Won't be much of a conversation at the speed we'll usually pass them at

Can we get a final count on who is riding this event? To my knowledge:

Confirmed:
Ray T.
Mark L.
Terry P.
Robert J.
Foo and Cheryl

Unknown:
D.J. - maybe
Paul - ?
Greg - ?
Nelson - ?
Who else?

I'll probably ride the 100k, starting off riding a tempo, TTTT like 20 mile as fast as possible. Then slow down and meet and greet the special guests. Let's all be good ambassadors for recumbent riders. Please note the following from the web site:
Events such as the Patriot Pedal, that are designed to encourage and support participation by our wounded soldiers, can be as appreciated and beneficial to their lives as the equipment the Fund provides. This is why several local and flown-in special guests will be riding along side us with their modified equipment. Be sure and meet these amazing people. And again, ALL proceeds from the rally go directly towards helping make the lives of our severely injured soldiers just a little more like what they were used to.

Maybe will run in to some of you guys out on the road as I'll be on my bike somewhere in the area by 10:00 or so. Have a great ride for a great cause!

On the map page they have a link to google maps with the whole thing drawn out with stops now.
Depending on the rain situation I may head down. I forgot what day today was and left my flag at home. Maybe I'll be able to run it Saturday since I'll be going slow anyhow.
If I go I'll probably ride down and try and make a century out of it.

Many recumbents are perfect for riding through flooded roads. Last year I rode my Giro 26 through some really deep water and all important components were well out of the water. On my old road bike I have paddled through water that wasn't half as deep Wink

Now if some of those lowracers show they might be swimming Grin

Well my feet are important.. On my DF I'd always be kicking through water and getting mud all over them. I'd think a low racer would be a problem though.
