“What are the best shorts to wear while riding my recumbent?” This topic arises surprisingly often within our little community. I’ve ridden for several years in board shorts, and I’ve come to believe they are the best shorts for recumbent cycling in warm weather. I’ll try to tell you what the alternatives are, and why I’ve ultimately decided the board short is the perfect recumbent cycling short.
Recently we ran across Kate Weiner, the daughter of one of Mike’s old friends, who is a co-editor of Loam Magazine. We got to talking about our respective projects, and decided it would be fun to work together on some collaborative articles.
Now here is an interesting idea! The couple that owns the High Street Victorian Bed & Breakfast along the famed Katy Trail in Boonville Missouri, are offering to give their property away (estimated value $375,000) to the winner of an essay contest!
That’s right! Just write your brilliantly worded missive (200 words or less) about ” Why do you want to own The High Street Victorian Bed and Breakfast?”. If the contest organizers select your essay as the winning entry, then you will receive the entire property free of any mortgage or other debt.
