At the same time upbeat and laid back, Paul is a lot of fun to ride with. Quick with a smile, tireless on the road, and with an unerring sense of direction.

Very impressive numbers for 2006,Paul. Looks like you have a great time on the Stratus.

Have you thought of joining the 'Bentrideronline club so that you can add your miles to the clubs?

Thanks so much for your well wishes. I am getting stronger every day, but expect it will be several months before I am ready to go back on the road ;-( Ride safe!

History:

Road cycling since purchasing a 'bent in April '05, and loving it... Switched to three wheels, November 2016. I ride with the Greater Dallas Bicyclists group and RBENTers. Admittedly fair weather commuter, but mostly do 20-50 mile jaunts and like to spread the "bent gospel"...
