Trail Riders
On the second Sunday of September, 99, I had
the opportunity to ride with a group of recumbent bike riders out of Xenia Station
in southern Ohio. What a fun bunch of bike enthusiasts! I filled out a
membership application (free) and became the 100th registered member
of the group.
Just before noon, the first riders began
assembling in the parking lot.

By about 12:30, a critical mass had
assembled:
And we took off for a nice spot about 10

After which we returned to Xenia and had a
nice picnic lunch. In October, the group plans on a 30 mile jaunt to Corwin and
a picnic at the half-way point. Join us.
