Riding With The Recumbent Circus – BionicOldGuy

Today I rode with my recumbent group on the Coyote Creek trail. I met them up in South San Jose and rode back with them. I was a bit late getting out the door so I rode up Monterey highway to the start. This is not as scenic but more direct, and I had a tailwind, so I flew up there at 21 mph. We came back more leisurely on the trail, with beautiful scenery and weather. We ate lunch in Morgan Hill near the southern end of the trail. They proceeded back to the start in South San Jose where they’d parked, but I just went home from the lunch place. I refer to it as the recumbent circus because all the trikes have colorful flags to make them more visible, and when we ride by it looks like the circus has come to town. This is a nice group, all older folks like me, and with various ailments (one was rehabbing a recent knee replacement) but that didn’t stop any of them as they all trikes and electric assist.
