Old trike, new trike
Sunday, June 28th, 2009| On our ride Saturday Jeanne and I met Jackie and June at Jackson Station and again at Clyde Depot; they beating us there. We had a nice conversation and then they continued on as Jeanne and I turned. The two seem like strong riders. I’ve ridden with June before and know she is very much at home on a bike at speed. June reminded me about posting some photos from a previous ride as I had said I would do but had not. So, here are the most interesting 3. | |
| Dudley introduced June to me when we all rode together on 30 May. It was Dudley’s first significant ride on his new Greenspeed GT-3 trike and he invited us along for the event. I had a chance to ride his 80+ gear machine (has overdrive) at the Bassfield turnaround (left photo). That ride was the impetus for me to order one of the same model for myself, minus the overdrive. His was a special order because of the extra gears and other features, taking a month or two to be delivered. My order was for just the typical 27 gears but was ready within a week. I would have liked the extras but we were too far into the riding session for me to wait. | |
And just so you know, here is a picture of my new trike. I was not riding it on the above ride, even though you can tell I was on a trike at the time, i.e. you can see my feet in one of the photos. That was the Catrike Speed I recently sold to a young girl I met during that ride. Oh, well, that is yet another story that needs telling.
