Santa Cruz has become Tourist Central and trying to find HPV-related
areas is like pulling teeth! Best weather, seasons, and areas off the
overcrowded track is Monterey, CA. Any other ideas- not blizzard,
snowy, or hot area?

Glenn Drury racing a Velokraft NoCom lowracer. What is amazing is Mr. Drury was riding a stock bike with no fairings. He finished the 400 km race a twitch short of 2 hours less than the regular cyclists team.

Re: Recumbent Racer Glen Drury sets course record
That is quite an impressive accomplishment. Who is the rider and what bike did he ride? Was he in a F-40?

Recumbent cycles entered the 400km cycle for the first time (as a separate category), with Glen Druryclocking the impressive time of 11:57:37. With the popularity of the recumbents, the race is likely to be open next year to other specialist cyclists (all scored in different categories).

The Northwest Provinces of Pakistan? I think even Kabul has cars nowadays.
You'll probably need an MTB too. I mean, if you expect paved roads and no
cars isn't that a little unrealistic? Well, you can get away from the cars
by hopping in a pedal kayak in Key West to go back in the mangroves, but you
might encounter the occasional shark (they're usually harmless nurse sharks
though) and there are power boats out in the open shallows. There are some
nasty currents, too.
Oh yeah, watch out for the man-o-wars.

AFAIK, Portland's about as close as you'll get in the continental U.S.,
and it still ain't superb. Of course, I'm prejudiced.
I went for a 40-ish mile ride this morning, met with a few folks from
the OHPV, and test-rode the Jack Frost time trial course. The worst
traffic tie-ups were from the half-athon they were running out
there- it kinda slowed down the HPV pace line (6 of us) we had going.
On the way back, we stopped at the bagel shop and ran into the finish
of one ride, the start of another, and the local racing team
lollygagging around.
Portland/Vancouver's pretty good for HPV'ing year 'round, and we don't
have tourists or blizzards. I like it here.

Hayes El Camino Disc Brakes Fastest disc brakes in the Universe
The El Camino features Power Adjust Dial, which modulates braking power by +/-10%. The Mono-Block caliper is forged using 6061-T6 aluminum while the open back design allows improved airflow across the pads. If you are a fat old ignorant white man from Minn do not buy these brakes. Nothing will stop your sorry ass when you need to stop.
The rotating banjo hose attachment offers optimal hose placement. Perfect for all the hose heads on A.R.B.R.

Meb has got it right. After all this is NORTH America, not the tropics. I
believe the only place in the US that has a very good winter climate is
South Florida. I also understand that that is a very expensive place in
which to reside. If you aren't filthy rich, forget about it. North Florida
is not nearly so expensive, but then North Florida is not nearly so nice as
far as climate is concerned as South Florida.

Actually, "this" isn't North America, it's Usenet.
