Recumbent Circus Ride – BionicOldGuy

Today I rode with my recumbent group on the Coyote Creek trail. I met them in South San Jose and rode back with them. I was a little late getting out the door so I took the Monterey Freeway to the start. It’s not as scenic but more direct and I had a tailwind so I was flying there at 21 mph. We returned along the trail more calmly, with beautiful scenery and weather. We had lunch at Morgan Hill near the southern end of the trail. They continued back to the start in South San Jose where they parked but I was just walking home from lunch. I call it the recumbent circus because all the tricycles have colored flags to make them easier to see and as we drive around it looks like a circus has come to town. It’s a nice group, all elderly people like me and with various illnesses (one was rehabbed after a recent knee replacement), but that didn’t stop any of them as they all ride tricycles and electric assist.
