Dave and Neal cut out from the ride early so that Dave could ride the velodrome track. This is a banked track, and all manner of human powered contraptions were there to be part of Recumbent Day. There were velomobiles, two wheeled recumbents, and recumbent trikes. We have watched this event in previous years, and it never gets old. The velodrome hosts Wednesday evening racing events. Check out their event calendar. Since a racing license is required, the `venue has many racers with lots of velodrome experience. Great fun!!
While the route has much scenery, I love the poppies, so concentrated my photographs here. See what you think. This year the rains may have caused less poppies because the grasses grew taller. Pretty nonetheless.
There is a model airfield on the route. The car access to the field has been closed for a couple years. Look at the ingenious ways the members get their planes from the cars to the field — a distance of two miles.
Hi Leslie and Paula. Nice pictures! Need some advice. Going to the Olympic Peninsula after Tater TOT. Any suggestions besides the Lake Crescent area? Thanks.

PS: Midwest Recumbent Rally in Stevens Point is no longer.
Hi Rolf & Diane,
ReplyDeleteWe’ll look forward to seeing you at TaterTOT!
When you get to Sequim, by all means do the Lake Crescent Spruce Railroad Trail ride. You can also ride from Gardiner to Port Angeles. Check out both the Olympicdiscoverytrail.org and Ben’s Bikes in Sequim. Sam Chandler at Ben’s Bikes will be a great resource. Tell him we sent you in...
When we’re all at TOT, let’s plan a Washington ride for all of us. See you soon!!
