Date: February 23-24, 2013
Event: Heart of Texas Recumbent Rally 2013
Route Distances: The HOT is a 2 day rolling party for recumbent riders and their families to come together to ride, learn more about recumbent cycles, and hang out with those who share their passion for laid back riding.
About the Ride: Mark your calendars now for the 2013 Heart of Texas Recumbent Rally! The Second Annual HOT will be February 23-24 in Austin, Texas at Easy Street Recumbents. This two day recumbent culture festival is open to all those who love the recumbent life. The Rally will consist of rides, a good talking-to by Mike Librik (the Big Kahuna and owner of Easy Street), socializing, story swapping, and a super fun Recumbent Rodeo.
We got a lot of feedback from last year’s HOT, and one of the areas that we wanted to focus on this year is the rides. This year we have three rides on tap: Warrior Ride is a ridiculously long, fast journey of 40 or more miles, Semi-Tough is an intermediate roll of 20-25 miles, and Scenic Route which is just a plain old fun ride of about 15 miles for those who don’t like being targets on the street. There will be something for everyone. The HOT is NOT strictly a “ride.” In fact, we don’t offer all the whistles and bells of the usual “organized ride.” We put our attention to the entire two days — not just the morning rides. So bring plenty of water and snacks if you want it — no rest stops. Make sure your cycle is in good shape. If you break down, we’ll have some one come and get you. But no fancy SAG or cycle repair along the way. At our rides, the riders look out for each other. If we can find volunteers to do all the stuff, great. But don’t hold your breath. Come prepared.
Location: Easy Street Recumbents, 5555 N. Lamar Suite C 105, Austin, Texas 78751
