Tuesday 4/23/24 WRL Clown Ride: Participants: Daniel S, Larry K, E Bob, Bob M, Lynn M, and me. E Bob rode solo. Lynn was running a little late this morning, so Bob M decided to tag along with Daniel and Larry as they rolled out of Sunset Bay and headed for the north end of the SoPac Trail. After Lynn arrived and was ready to ride, she and I rolled out and headed for the north end of the SoPac at a high pace. We ran across Daniel, Larry, and Bob M as they were heading south, about a mile from the SoPac's north end. We continued on to the trail's north end, did a 180, and headed back to the lake and on to Sunset Bay, maintaining a high pace. We caught up with Daniel as we neared Sunset Bay. Lynn and my average for those 20 miles was 18.5 mph. After a break, Bob M led Lynn and me on a second lake lap and SoPac up-and-back. We ran across recumbent-riding acquaintances, John and Heidi G, at the north end of the SoPac. My legs and knees started feeling uncomfortable on the north end of the lake property on East Lawther, probably from lack of riding regularly for the past month. I fell further and further behind Bob and Lynn the rest of the way back to Sunset Bay. Back at Sunset, Daniel, Larry, Bob M, and Lynn packed it in and departed the scene. I rode solo to the Green Spot for lunch. Following lunch, I completed a counterclockwise lake lap. Got in 51.2 miles at a 16.8 mph average. Max speed of 32.5 mph was achieved headed north in the SoPac bottoms with the wind at my back. Rode my Greenspeed Aero trike today. Annoying southerly headwinds were blowing all day today. Not many pedestrians and riders on the trails.
