I ride the mostly in the hills of Avondale, Georgia. My recumbent
buddy (Dave) put me on to a used Tailwind through Craigslist a few
months ago. They were selling a RANS Rocket and a Tailwind for $700
for the pair. Dave got the Rocket and I have the Tailwind.

Usually we do a 15 mile ride in the late afternoons around Avondale
and on the weekends we ride out to Stone Mountain, curcle the
mountain, and head home. That's closer to 30 miles and 2.5 to 3 hours,
depending on traffic and trains.

I'm 52 and steadily losing this gut it took me years to acquire. I'm
excited to have found a way to get some exercise that doesn't feel
boring, although I have taken to wearing funny clothes. <g>

I think my biggest complaint about my long wheel base RANS is the
difficulty in transporting it. I drive a 1993 Saturn wagon which
barely accomodates the bike inside the car. I'm not very mechanically
minded and a cheapskate, besides. Any recommendations for a rack for
the long wheel base bent would be appreciated.
