Recumbent Circus Riding – BionicOldGui

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