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

Saturday, June 27.
If you're planning to camp with us, drop a line. We may need to collect license plate data in advance for registration.

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.

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 2009 edition is scheduled for June 12-14.
The 5-Boro Bike Tour May 3, 2009 in NYC is bent-friendly (You can get a pass that allows you to start up front).
