It is probably flatter down here so it would be easier to stay at your high range. Maybe some day I'll go visit my sister up in PA and we can go for a little spin. My ever present limitation is my HR. If I don't keep it low where it is supposed to be aortic regurgitation will do it for me with a not so nice reminder.
If I have a rich uncle pass and leave me the funds, sure, I'd be happy to spend time in TX on a brevet with you. Perhaps I could borrow one of your recumbents - I've never ridden one before. I've been told they are good for folks with scoliosis, but wouldn't your back be bothered by reclining for long periods of time? On an upright you can shift positions.
