Reverse Gear sponsors first 2011 HPRA event
Reverse Gear is sponsoring the 2011 HPRA Florida Challenge at Brian Piccolo Park - 9501 Sheridan Street, Pembroke Pines, Florida on February 26 and 27, 2011. The race weekend is one week after the Sebring 12/24 hour race and one week before the Catrike Rally.
This the first HPRA race of the 2011 season. There will be two full days of racing.
For anyone not racing on Saturday, Atlantic Bicycle has organized a group ride. The ride will be approximately 20 miles at a moderate pace.
This event will offer prizes (including a REVERSE GEAR cycling jersey and a pair of recumbent cycling shorts), displays and the opportunity to meet other recumbent enthusiasts and see an excellent variety of human powered machines and their engines.
“on the road” in Texas and Arizona
This winter REVERSE GEAR has been on the trails and highways in the south for our second year.
Our first visits were in Kansas to RANS and several bike shops.
The next destination was Texas for November and December. Unfortunately we suffered some health issues this winter, so we have not spent as much time on the recumbents as we had planned. However, our favorite cycling experiences in that state were in Dallas and in San Antonio (with the River City Bent Riders). We did make it as far south as Brownsville and as far west as El Paso.
As the weather got cooler, we headed west and spent January and February in Arizona.
We visited the following bike shops during winter 2010-2011:
City Cyclist, Fort Worth TX
Daniel Boone Cycles, Houston TX
Easy Street Recumbents, Austin TX
Hill Country Bicycle Works, Fredericksburg & Kerrville TX
Planetary Cycles, Houston TX
Plano Cycling, Plano TX
Richardson Bike Mart, Richardson TX
Ajo Bikes, Tucson AZ
Southwest Bikes, Peoria AZ
Sun Cyclery, Phoenix AZ
We are staying in AZ to avoid the snow for a few more weeks, and then heading back to Canada in March, with an expected arrival of early April.
We hope to see you on the road, Judi & Len
