Had hoped to be riding a Big Cat product, as you Texas Catrikers will be riding, but unfortunately there seem to be some production problems with regards to the Musashi. RBM has had one on order for over a month and Easy Street Recumbents for almost 3 weeks. The last time I checked, they didn't know when their orders would be filled. I own a Catrike "Speed", but I'm not going to ride a 16"-wheeled trike on chipseal. Will be riding my trusty Carbent 50 miles with 2 other RBENT high racer riders - John S and Corsa Ken. Looking forward to that Outback Steakhouse lunch, after the Ride. Smiley

I was going to do this ride but instead will do a couple of bigger rides down in Houston, most of the route is my normal nightly ride and you don't have to worry about chipseal. It does have a couple of short steep hills on Hilltop rd but that's about it

Thanks for the heads up. Sorry we won't be seeing you there.

The 50 was a stretch goal for me, I'm tired but I'm glad I did it! Also there was very minimal chipseal on this route. I thoroughly enjoyed the roadway, although the course marking left something to be desired. I only got lost once. :-P
