I usually roll out bout that same time, I'll be starting out in Oakmount Pak hopefully by 6:30 but no way can I avg those speeds, way to go.

Good to see you out there. I'll let you guess which one of the uprights that said hi was me. I might have to coordinate a ride with you at some point, you ride within 1/8 mile of my house every time you do the FM/Argyle route.

In fact, there were lots of 'bents on the airport loop. Even saw PB.

It can't get any better than that John. I can only hope to have a grandson some day that I can enjoy a ride with. I'm an uncle many times over b ut all those live far away. Hope you get to enjoy many more rides like that.

22 miles this weekend between 3 trips to church, all of which had at least one leg with temperature over 100F I had a 20 mile trip that rubbed the skin off my backside from riding in sweat-soaked underwear with the temperature over 100 on the way back from a car dealer... That was Wednesday. Still feeling the effects of that ride Smiley

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.

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. Smiley

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.
