Wasco 75 Recumbent and Tandem Race

[oxysback]

What? No recumbent tandems?

Thanks for the race report. So how did your DH do? That trike of his is low enough that the wind was probably less (this is relative, remember) of a problem for him than the high racers.

In the 3 years we've been going we haven't seen any recumbent tandems.

DH came in first in the trike class!! Then again...he was the only trike in his class.

But this year he didn't get laped like in previous years. So even though he was the last one on the course, he feels like this is an improvement over last years race. His total time was 5:01 for 75 miles (keeping in mind the 30mph headwinds over half the course). Not bad at all!

Thanks for the great pics. Looks like you and dh did very well in spite of the wind. I'll have to show my dh, who wants his next bike to be a recumbent.

Ellen, your photos are awesome. I am sorry I didn't see them until today. Looks like everyone had a lot of fun despite the Gorge wind.
