52 miles 10 trikes - 3 bents and a road bike

We pulled together a big group of riders for this one! The most trikes together ever I think. 10 Trikes, 3 recumbent bikes, and one road bike. We had two video trikes shooting the action! This is one of our old favorites - San Gabriel River to Rio Hondo Creek to Los Angeles River, Long Beach waterfront and beach trail - 52 miles in total. A few new people in this ride and some of the regulars.

Damn, you guys go everywhere! I can't until I get my Terratrike Cruise! It will be the best investment I will make in my life. I'm gonna try to travel throughout socal, but the only problem is that I don't have any friends that would be down to do it :(

@scrillah81 - I have had my trike for a little over 2 years and love it. Once you start building up miles it is a lot of fun to take it to new places. And I am seeing more and more trikes out there on the trails. Keep meeting new trike riders all over the area.

Nice ride - I enjoy seeing other riders doing a bit loner rides. Mine tend to be 65 - 75 miles - but only 40 or so for the first one of the year - typically early March here in WI with snow on the ground. :-)

@Utuber33 - Yeah, several of us in the group like to do longer rides, and we have a group of 15 trike riders (some are in this video) who are training to do a century ride benefiting the Diabetes Association in May. I have done a 100 miles once before, and many 70, and 80 mile rides.

Another excellent video, dregerclock. They seem to be getting better all the time. :)

@rjedge1954 - Thanks! ;-)

Looks like you had a blast riding as a group. It was nice to see grass instead of the 4 feet of snow here. Keep riding and the videos coming.

Excellent vid as usual. Keep them coming, we really enjoy "riding" along with you guys ;-)

when i first read this i thought its said 10 trikes, 3 gays and a road bike

[scrillah81]

Sorry for the repeated question about the speed. I didn't realize that you replied back 2x. I thought it was another person.

@dregerclock Man, this is VERY encouraging!!!! I honestly do not know which one to get though. The one that I truly want is the fastest one (zoomer sl), but that is too expensive. I want one that is affordable with at least 24 gears because I plan on riding it a lot for travel and exercise. The thing is that it will be very intimidating for me to venture out on my own with my trike so I'm gonna try to go with people the first 2 times. How fast can you go on your trike?
