the ride--I passed a cattrike and a volae fairly early on, and i saw some
people on a tandem cattrike like device (I didn't catch the label due to the
rain and mud). I also saw a young woman riding a Linnear, a prototype SWB with
underseat steering. She said it was being developed out of the Bicycle Man
shop in Alfred Station. I was on a V-Rex with a yellow tailback.<BR><BR>The
rain started really pelting down around 11, and the folks I was with at that
time just started hammering to get to the bridge (I was on the BQE somewhere
around Bay Ridge at the time). It was my first group ride on the V-Rex and I
was really pleased--extremely stable at speed, and manuverable as all get out.
Acceleration from a standing stop is pretty solid, too--I was passing the
carbon roadbikes as?their riders?struggled to click in on the pedals and never
looked back.<BR><BR>I'd like better weather next
