Welcome
to the Website for Rochester NY's informally organized group of recumbent
enthusiasts.
Our unwritten charter is to promote and advocate recumbent cycling by
gathering together for informal group rides,
and offering interested cyclists an opportunity
to meet and talk with us about "bents",
see these machines on rides, and possibly try them out on short test rides.
On Sundays, every week from April to November, starting at 6:30 AM, will be the 22 mile Early Sunday
"Hell-Bent for Breakfast Ride."
It starts in the parking area off Clinton Ave. So.,
where Clinton crosses the Canal.
Contact Cliff Weatherell, (585) 737-7815 or
Mike Brisson (585) 461-5084

We carry on the breakfast riding through most of the winter, trading our recumbents for mountain bikes and studded tires. Get in touch with one of the organizers if you'd like to be kept up-to-date on weekly destinations.
The highlight of our season is the RARE2K rally!!
The date for 2012 is tentatively set for
Saturday, June 23.

This is a link to all of John's photo albums on Shutterfly. You'll want to Search on "R2K" to find the albums related to the rally. There are albums of photos going back to 2002. It's well worth the little bit of bother. John's got an excellent eye.
For more information, contact Dave Larson or Mike Brisson.

IF YOU WISH TO CAMP YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER WITH US!
To register for camping, please provide us with your name and the license plate number of the vehicle you will enter the park with. The park permits us to have only six vehicles at the Group Camping Area. Additional vehicles may park in the main parking area.
The annual Great Finger Lakes Bicycle Tour GFLBT, hosted by the Southern Tier Bicycle Club STBC,
has drawn many of us back again and again over the last 15 years.
The RBR rally in State College, PA has been popular. The 2012 edition is scheduled for June 8-10.
The 5-Boro Bike Tour May 6, 2012 in NYC is bent-friendly. They have shifted to a lottery system for entry this year, with lottery entries due by Feb. 7.

It is not a requirement that one be an RBC member to participate in the club rides
(although it is certainly encouraged and appreciated).
