[Whirl] So I've rejoined the list to see who is still around!

[olarryr at aol.com]

I’m still around. I have a Barcroft Dakota but I have not been riding much during past couple of years. I retired a year ago and interesting thing is that I lost 25 lbs pretty much not doing anything special except I attribute it to cutting way down on eating snacks,etc.  I use to do a lot of stress eating when I had difficult issues to solve at work. But now that I retired, I still eat some snacks but obviously a lot less.  Now need to get back on my bike and ride a bit on my local streets before venturing out on longer rides.

I joined this group after everyone stopped riding together.  This is the first I've seen any action.  I have a Catrike Expedition.  If anyone wants to ride once we can get out of quarantine, let me know.  I live in Montgomery county and I am kind of a newby with recumbent riding.

I hadn’t realized Rotator was out of business till the tone of these conversations got me wondering why not just buy a new.  Is see they went out of business in 

They used to fabricate the frames for Barcroft before Bill retired from that activity and sold it to Dana out west.  Is Barcroft also out of business or did Dana find alternatives? 

 As long as the Pursuit was, was wondering did that bent need above average space to turn around?

Is anyone building a very long wheelbase bent these days?

I remember riding the Halloween parade with Bikes at Vienna-Whirl back in 04.  Is that bent appearance still going on each fall?

 

Mark- I remember you selling that bent-I came on board here about 02, so I think it was a little less than 20, maybe 02 or 03.

I rode with you guys a few times in the late 90s, although not as often as I would have liked as I live 4 or 5 hours away. It's good to see the list pop up again.

 

I still ride a P38 I bought from Larry Black in 1994 -- the bike now has well over 40k miles on it, although the frame has been out to Tim Brummer a couple times for repairs. It's been to Europe as well as across the US. Most of its miles were as my daily commuter for many years.

 

Mark, are you the one that gave a tour of your sailboat during one of the big rides?

 HI Kathy. I thought I'd be the only one to still have the shirts! I have
that one and the one from 1999. I thought I had three but if so it got mixed
in with other stuff.

Hi all as well!

That was such a great event, Mark!

More later but I just got my Big Ride T-shirt out in honor of the (at least
for now) resuscitation of the list and thought I would post a pic:
