The carbon bikes get most of the mileage, but between them it's roughly 50/50. I ride the highracer more with the uprights in my club, and the lowracer when I'm riding with other recumbents. I took the NoCom on BRAT this past year, but only because the highracer didn't have a triple chainring on it and I expected (and got) some pretty steep terrain there. The Baron gets use in the early spring when roads are still rough from winter, and later in the fall, once all the big tours are done.
