OK, just had a fun idea... related to the "shhh, it's a secret" Rambler trike birthday present for Terrie....
Her birthday isn't until the next Saturday, May 10th, but... we could spring it on her after eating, at our house next week -- and with everyone's obvious approval of the present, she might not be QUITE as pissed at me for obtaining another bike...
Here's how it could go... if there's a woman (or man) with a ~41" x-seam that is joining us on the brunch ride, I could bring the trike to you Thursday or Friday evening, and you would ride it from WRL to our place in Rowlett -- while Terrie and I are both riding along on the tandem. We're actually going to drive in to WRL with the tandem, and leave the car there for the return. So, we would pretend the trike is yours, and perhaps talk about how much you like it, along the way -- whatever...
We get to the house, everybody eats, and then eventually, we all wander back out to the driveway/garage, and suddenly break into "Happy Birthday To You" while I wheel the trike up to her... again, to everyone's obvious approval!!!
And then give her a chance to take it up and down the block for a bit.
I doubt she will be up for riding it the 15 miles back to WRL -- so whomever rides the trike out to Rowlett, can either jump on the back of the tandem with me, or perhaps ride the Rocket back to WRL while I ride the Xstream. Or if she wants to ride the tandem back to WRL, you could either ride the trike back, or the Rocket.
Devious, no???
Is there a potential trike-riding candidate (with her approximate x-seam of 41") that can help out with this plan?? Everybody else up for a birthday surprise??
