Forty-one miles, today, at WRL. Rode with Grady B. and Tony W. Lots of DF riders at 9:00 AM. As it got hotter, most of them disappeared. Took my new mail order high racer on its maiden voyage. Cheapest high-performance recumbent with decent-quality components I've ever purchased. It was discounted 20%, shipping was free, and there was no sales tax.
Didn't get to see what it can really do, because I wasn't feeling up to par today. But, the impression I get is that its not going to be as fast as my Musashi, even though the seat angle is 12 degrees lower than the Musashi's and the seat to BB height difference is the same. Glad I was riding a bike with disk brakes. At the Southeast corner of the Lake a runner wearing headphones stepped onto, and crossed the Path right in front of me (I was sounding my bell as I approached). Missed him. Thirty seconds later a roadie in the opposite lane lost control of his bike, almost went down in my lane, recovered, and went into the grass to my right. Had enough braking power to keep from hitting him.
