I tried my first GOBA in 2006, when the ride was hilly, and there were some storms. My recumbent bike was new to me, so I struggled, and then quit. I would...
It is mostly the ability of the rider, not the bike. If you can ride your bike on a 25 mile route by mid-Spring, you'll be fine. (That said, a "bike store"...

Also the first day is 60 miles, so you may want to practice a few longer routes. Some of COP's spring routes have "metric century" options, or 62 miles....
Well now I am worried. My wife and I are going to ride GOBA this year. We will be riding our trikes. My wife's trike is a WhizWheel Cruiser and mine is a...
There are always recumbents of all flavors on the ride. Friends of ours usually ride on a Greenspeed tandem. You will not be the only ones on 'bents and if...
Hello Again, After a three year absence, I am planning on doing GOBA again this year, and once again I come here to seek your advice. Again, it is impossible...
If I make the ride I will be riding a recumbent. I ride slow and steady. Distance is not a problem but wind and hills are very challenging. I usually do...
If your bike fits you well and is properly maintained, it should not be much of a problem. I did my first three GOBAs, including the infamous ride of 2001 (If ...
My family and I will be doing our second GOBA this year. We ride a triplet (three person tandem). We are located in the Kansas City area. We would be happy...

I met a couple last year, but with 3000 riders, there must be other gay lesbian bisexual transgender straight allied riders. Iwould be interested in...
I don't know what size you need but i have my late partner's bike that you could borrow at no cost. It is a simple Sunbird Free Spirit 10- speed. He was...
