Long time quiet

I have been busy for sone time and probably a bit lazy.
Still enjoying my bent riding around Gippsland. I tend to ride the Attack on road more and more. The trike is used for work commuting and the road bike hangs around for a ride about once a month or sundays with the riding group.
I broke the trike before the last GVBR with the hinge failing. I returned it to Greenspeed and they did a good job repairing it ready for the GVBR. I should get it re powder coated but cna't bear to lose it for long enough to get the job done.
I removed the rear rack off the Attack to lighten it and layed the seat back a little more. It goes like a rocket and I have had it up to 80 km/hr. That was on the Fruit loop ride coming down off the strathboggies. A good ride and another good show case for bents. Rode with a loose group of BV forum riders and had a good ride. 200km in a total of 9 hours. My longest single ride to date.
