First Ride of the Season

Last Friday was sunny and in the 60's, great riding weather. It was my first ride of the 2010 season. Right after work I got the recumbent (Bacchetta Strada) out and suited out for the ride.

Once again I never know who I would meet out on the trail. My recumbent is a great ice breaker. People normally stop to say "wow, that's what I need, that's awesome", etc.

On my halfway point on the trail I met Tim Guthrie and his son, who just turned 13. They were on their road bikes. Tim told me that he was looking into getting a Bacchetta and had a Rans recumbent in the past. It's such a treat talking shop with someone that has the same interest. We talked about websites relating to recumbents, local bike shops, cycling lights, etc.

I love riding on the Little Miami Bike Trail. The new season has started out great.
