Mark Mervich»Recumbents 5-30-09 [BROL Member MarkE] has been kind to allow me to post 2 of his pictures of Jeff Bales of Goblin Motors [of the Goblin Green Cricket & Tunnel Vision Fame]. Thanks Mark!
This is one of my favorites in his photostream and of the pictures I’ve seen of Jeff’s faired Catrike 700. Of course, this was taken at the Hellyer Park Velodrome 05/30 as Jeff raced.
Link to other videos and the trike race video.
Note to myself: *That Goblin Green color really looks GOOD!*

Today, the total number on comments exceed the total number of posts. Both went over 1,000. I appreciate your comments and enjoy dialoging with you. With comments now leading posts, I think they will hold that lead. Comments lagged posts by over 400 just months ago.
Thanks for making blogging fun. –jim

One of my regular readers, David, says I’m not fixed a my current set of 7 cycles and that I’ll buy another one. Well, I have no immediate plans to do so and if I did, FIFO would be a reasonable plan to discharge one of my 7. You see, David is pining for my VK2. An alternate discharge plan could be could be in-kind. Buy, a low-racer, bump a low-racer. So, what’s the picture above about—just a cool French Carbon Fiber low-racer from Zockra. Hey, I’m content with my VK2 and the Magnificent 7 that I have. Sorry David…
…that I write reasonably good German. Well, neither did I. Although, having live in the country for 4 years, I do recognize a few words and can get around there. Thanks to Google we can all "write" in many foreign languages. Thanks to the German reader for visits to my blog.
I‘d be at the Hellyer Park Velodrome, San Jose, California, for today’s HPV Recumbent Racing. I’d even give racing a go on my Vk2 and Cartike 700, especially if it were faired like Jeff Bales‘. If I didn’t race, I’d be content to watch. Well it is almost race time, scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. PT. The events are: [event details]
Does this look like a jet on the taxiway just before take off, or what?
This is what Jeff raced: [Thanks to Mark Mervich for the photo and his permission to use it. Click the picture to see more from his photostream.]
If you wonder why my interest is piqued for this race: well I love cycling; I’ve attended cycle races and they are fun; I’d even like to race at some point in my life; and more importantly [at the moment], I will be fairing my CT700 and want to see how the faired 700 “fares” against its competition. Of course, the engine is a part of the mix. Jeff seems to be a strong rider.
