- In this video we do a group ride with the Brisbane Recumbents. We had a good turn out with 19 people in attendance. It was great to see so many people out together. In Australia recumbents are not so common as other parts of the world. We started our journey from the Boondall railway station car park and rode on the bicentennial bikeway and Deagon deviation until we reached the top end of Brighton, near the two bridges. The weather had looked dark and cloudy and we all hoped to stay dry. As they had predicted high wind gusts we took the front section of our canopies off. I persuaded my friend Rick to do the same. When we came on to the Brighton foreshore we were met with wind gusts over 30 km. Our flagpoles were bending to the point I thought they might snap, so I added an extra cable tie to secure to the canopy support. I hopped off my trike to film the other riders and the wind blew my trike back on to the path! We then headed out of the wind to the local bakery for some tasty morsels and took a group photo. We missed out on a couple of riders who left early to catch a train home. After the bakery we headed back down to the waterfront, staying on the road instead of the bikeway next to the water. At the top end the wind had been blowing sand in our faces. Near the end we went back on the pathway beside the water. I ended our filming there as I was low on batteries. We then returned back to Boondall safe and sound. The is the second ride we have done where the weather at Sandgate has been a bit knarly. Hopefully the sun will shine very brightly the next time. However it was so good to see new faces and old and get together doing something we all love - riding our trikes.
You've assembled a CONVOY! Very likable.
Yes we got us a CONVOY! Glad you liked.
Happy new year to you guys I like you guys
Happy New year to you too! Glad that you like watching our little,group.
Enjoyed seeing all the different bikes. We missed seeing Molly though :)
It is a bit hard to take her on a group run, because we need to make stops for her and sometimes when she is excited she barks....whilst it doesn’t bother us it might others.
Great video as usual Pam. Sorry we missed it. Cheers Tom and Lauren
Thanks. Hope you guys can make the next one.
Great riding with a group. Love the different bikes on show. Thanks
Do you have any recumbent groups in Tassie.
@@downunderrecumbenttrikeven6967 Hi Pam. So far just a couple of friends. I have just programmed a Bicycle Network recumbent ride for us in the north. We will see if anyone turns up!!
@@antcullimore3550 hope you get a good turn out. Have you used your canopy yet?
@@downunderrecumbenttrikeven6967 Yes. It works fine but there's really a bit too much wind in the south right now. I start off with it deployed and then, as the wind comes in, it has to be folded into the back. Check out the latest video on my channel to see what happens during strong gusts (right at the end of the trip).
@@antcullimore3550 I didn’t know you had a channel. Just subscribed. Just watched a guy called The Loam Ranger talk about tweaking settings on the go pro 9 and tried them out today .. brighter colours! Brighter video. Hopefully my videos will get better. I am learning all the time. Keep on triking!
Comme d'habitude c'est une superbe vidéo et un super endroit. Merci Pamela.
Thankyou.
Hi, love your videos. I would like to get in touch with Scott to ask him about his trike.
I don’t know him personally, but I will try and get some contact details.
I especially enjoy recumbent trike videos that included water. I'm sure you could have done without the winds. Thank you for sharing. Keep on Triking!
Thanks. We are planning a ride shortly which we may ride around 3 different lake/ waterway areas.
