I've had a lot of memorable days on a bent but one of my favorites was on an organized ride in Wisconsin. I started the ride, 45 miles if I recall, with really sore legs. I was riding a Volae high racer and nothing was going right. About 5-6 miles in, I seriously considered cashing it in and returning to the parking lot. I stopped for a moment and thought about things as riders passed asking if I was OK. After 5-10 minutes, I thought to myself, the weather is nice and the scenery is beautiful so just keep pedaling and get to the end, no matter how long it takes.

I got back on the bike and my legs felt a little looser and I passed a few people. Next thing I know, my spin was smooth as butter and I was flying along, enjoying the ride and having a great time. When I finished the ride, I spent a lot of time talking to fellow recumbent owners and looking over some beautiful machines. Later in the day, I went out for another 15-20 miles because I didn't want the day to end. Great day.

BTW, I saw a modded V-Rex on the ride which I later decided might be Blazing Pedal's. Would have been 2004 (?) or so at the Midwest Recumbent Rally in Stevens Point, WI.
