I had hoped to participate in this year's R2K rally. Turned out I couldn't find anyone on a recumbent bike (except me).
From Spencerport to the Hamlin Beach State Park I expected to cross paths with some R2K riders. I left my house at 3PM and headed North. I missed the remote start at Charlote. Thought I would intercept some "take time to smell the Flowers" rider types heading back to camp. No such rider type out there at 3:40PM, around the time I reached North Hamlin Road.
I made good time(15mph) heading North. The intersection of Parma-Hamlin Town line Road and North Hamlin Road is 10 miles from my house. Heading West at that point, a Westerly breeze slowed my pace a bit. I saw nobody else biking until I crossed path with a teenager who shouted out "COOL BIKE". That was out by Nuts Corners, corner of North Hamlin and East Fork Lake Roads. At that point I turned North to Moscow Road. Then West to the Southern entrance of the Park (another 3 miles or so). I stopped for about 10 minutes near the Parkway overpass making some dérailleur adjustments before turning for home.
Anyway, there wasn't anyone around riding a bike. No cars with bike racks entering the park or anywhere to be seen.
Probably by 4:30, all the Recumbent biker/campers were already back at camp. With another 18 miles to get home, there was no point investigating further. So I headed back.
(addendum 07.25.10) ....so the Rare Rally web link listed the Rally ride date as Saturday June 27th; O.K. except that Saturday was the 26th;
