Riding With The Recumbent Circus – BionicOldGuy

Today I rode with my recumbent group on the Coyote Creek Trail. I met them in South San Jose and came back with them. I was a little late getting out, so I took the Monterey Highway to the start. It’s not as scenic but more direct, and I had a tailwind, so I flew up there at 21 mph. We returned to the trail more slowly, with magnificent landscapes and weather. We had lunch at Morgan Hill, near the south end of the trail. They originally returned to South San Jose where they had parked, but I just got home from lunch. I call it the lying circus because all the tricycles have colorful flags to make them more visible, and when we pass by it looks like the circus has come to town. It’s a nice group, all old people like me and suffering from various illnesses (one was rehabbing a recent knee replacement), but that didn’t stop any of them because they all used tricycles and electric assistance.
