Not many bents at this year's Paluxy Pedal - Mark, Brent (friend from Houston), Roy (friend from Wichita Falls) and me. Charlie came but rode his upright. If Ray was there I never saw him. Also thought Brian was coming but didn't see him either. Main reason I do this ride is to see if I can get any closer to scaling The Wall. 1st year was pretty bad, maybe 1/4 of the way. Last year was close, maybe 80%. This year wasn't even as good as the first! Oh well, back to lifting weights. I did get my all time fastest max speed on a bent - 45.4 mph. Steve, my upright racing friend from work, had a great time hanging on my wheel on the downhills. He kept saying "man that thing is fast!" We passed a lot of other uprights and heard a lot of "geez" or some other exclamation as we blew past. Overall had a great time, mostly just nice easy riding with Steve and his wife Becky. And NO CRAMPS! 43.66 miles, 15.02 avg.
