I am "palmvictory" at YouTube.  Just about all my posts there will have the tag, "One Bad Tadpole".  The vids of us are up there.

Weston Loop  http://ridewithgps.com/routes/750206
Wilmeth rd  http://ridewithgps.com/routes/946369
long one: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1005874

Those are the three I ride most commonly, with the long one being newer to me, but Dave knows it well.

Thanks for the routes.  I'll try 'em!  Sure does get boring doing the same one or two all the time, and just picking a route that others have done without any commentary on what to expect can bring some disappointment.
Hey, Monkeywrangler22, we should ride together!  

 
Key I'd love to have some company, if you don't mind going slow again...I avg 13+/- on these routes. Dave is 2-3mph faster on avg, and tends to ride on Saturday, so you could certainly get in a longer ride with him.  The Weston Cafe is open Sat 9-6pm I think, and Sundays 11-3pm.

Hey, Monkeywrangler22, we should ride together!  


As I told JimFPU before we rode, the point is just being out there together. Hate to sound all sappy, but being a recumbent pilot can be quite a lonely thing. Normally, my companions are the motorons who pace me as I am trying to work out. The faster I go, the less willing they are to go about their own business. No, I so welcome the companionship that velocity is not a consideration. Best for me is when school lets out, and when I get my car back. Those are two things hindering me at the moment. Until then, Saturdays will mainly be about errands, then the occasional meet up.

Er...which Dave? What's his handle?

Dave =dd5339 , my husband.  And I would be happy to have some company on rides, Key. Smiley Anytime it works out for both schedules. I'm sure Dave would also enjoy company.

I'll hang with you as long as you'd like to go.  Dave will be testing my SXP anyway.
