Every man and his two dogs on a recumbent ... Bacchetta's Rich Pinto was already giving test rides before the day started. Portsmouth bridge - a groovy little town that reminds of Portland Oregon with more salt. BBQ, beer and a raffle, life's simple pleasures... Is recumbent riding a guy thing? When someone makes a petite recumbent in pink, this may change!

A couple of round-the-worlders from Canada saw the light on and dropped by with their impressively loaded HP Velotechnik steeds. In front is Aaron Cleaver's Cattrike. To digress - the concrete counterweights on the drawbridge at Mystic, CT seaport. Geroge Reynolds, famous for designing speedy lawnchairs (to put it mildly) has raced and welded with HPV champ and Bike Friday tikit co-designer, Rob English, Hoyt's Lodges front lawn - just begging for a sea of biker's tents. John and Ann Hoyt are the hosts of this annual event.

It's fun, when you know how. My first time on a recumbent, generously provided by Bob's Bicycles. A Ti Bacchetta Aero champs at the cleat behind me. Bacchetta founder Rich Pinto again generously provided his famous rib BBQ for the ravenous recumbos.
