I just rode the 32 mile route for the Abilene Steam-N-Wheels ride today. It may be the perfect course for a recumbent biker to dominate a group of DF riders. The last 11 or so miles is downhill and most times has a pretty nice tailwind. Today my last 11 miles were 22mph or greater, with one of them averaging 31.5mph. That is grrrreat for me. Some of you guys on high racers would have easily been over 26mph for the last 11 miles. The 48 mile course has some hills that the 32 mile course doesn't, but the 48 mile course is the only one that is chip timed, so I will probably end up doing it.
I'd love to see some of you guys out here. Check out March 21st on your calendars.
 
Here is a link to my ride today. Check out the downhill slope for the last 11 miles. You can scroll down the miles and see how the speed picks up like a horse headed for the barn.......

I think I'll do the 48 mile course today so I can show y'all the profile of that course. It shares the last downhill section with the 32 mile course.

To the best of my knowledge ALL rides allow trikes.
 
Except USCF races of course

I did it for the first time last year. I have already signed up to do the 48'r again this year.
I rode my newly acquired Barron I had just picked up at the HOT in Austin.
