What part of London are you in ? My mate and I both have ICE trikes, I've a Sprint RX and he has two Sprints and a Vortex (he's keen !) and often ride up to and around London, or out West into the Thames Valley. We aim for a CTC sort of pace so 12.5-15mph, but have been know to go much faster (downhill !)Would be nice to ride with fellow recumbentists...
Funnily enough if you had been walking through the centre of Walton on Thames on Sunday morning you might have seen two trikes as me and my mate cycled through after a tasty english breakfast in Esher ! Cycled out from Ealing to Esher for breakfast then back via Walton and Hampton Court. We're often in that sort of area, sometime on Trikes and sometime on my mates Greenspeed Recumbent Tandem which really is a sight to behold ! Be good to get a recumbent ride together in/near London. We're happy enough to ride in town or country - down Oxford Street on a Saturday afternoon or past Buck House is often fun ! Most of our rides seem to be based around involve food and tea stops, hence the screename ! Definitely up for arranging a meet with other London recumbists (if that's the word) ?, so we can do a bit of recumbent formation flying !
i wouldnt mind joining a bent ride round/out of london for fun; I have been allowed to take my bent out with the Dulwich paragon and De Ver for training runs on a Saturday morning from south london out to Biggin Hill/ North downs way but although i can outrun them on the downhills the groups i have been with [ i only went to see if i could keep up] have kindly waited for me at the top of the hills.
there is a different dynamic to a bent ride that causes these and other problems cycling with df types. so i generally end up cycling on my own! The newly published "lost lanes' has some nice [ challenging] runs about 30 miles or so which of which i have done 2 and enjoyed
