Hey Andy, can Dave & I pick y'alls brains about your Seavo?  We are thinking about getting back into a tandem, and it is on our list of possibles.

Sure, ask away!  But I gotta tell you Paul Brown is the expert, he helped us set up our pedals out of phase and it made a HUGE difference in splitting the work load.

Any bent dealers there????maybe a chance to see some bikes I've been wondering about.


Not likely, although they did have someone selling some recumbent-specific jerseys last year.

 
2 years ago Kucharik was there and they sell a few bent jerseys

I can answer one of your questions...the "Cage" is at the beginning of the ride, where (at least last year) they corralled all the bents at the front of the line.  6 foot chain-link fence to give the bents separation from the DF's.  It was cool to see so many bents all in one place...including a very cool custom built velomobile.  I heard that guy finished the 100 miles in like 4 hours...

Park wherever you can find - seriously.  And get there early - I usually get there at least an hour before the start making my arrival before 6am.  It gives you plenty of time to find your spot at the starting line.  The "cage" seems to fill up fast.
 
I'm headed to WF here in a couple of hours - hope to see a lot of RBENTers there!

I'm heading out around noon for WF.  I'll be staying at First Christian Church on Taft.  Long ways from the start so I will be driving in, Sat. morning to hunt up a parking spot in the big lot.  Probably around 05:30.... blech!

Warren had his best week on the bike since his Collin County Classic broken collar bone so he left at noon.
 
There is always plenty of parking at the edges of the HOJO parking lot. It's a couple of blocks from the start with very little traffic.

you folks have fun, I'm going to ride a 200k with the LSR group in the morning.
 
may the wind be at your back and your bent grin so wide that folks wonder what you've been up to.
