Schedule: Saturday, July 18, 2020
9:00-12:00: Ride, with stop to purchase lunch
12:00-3:00: Afternoon Expo (show and tell)
Expo portions of the event consists of show and tell presentations and the chance to interact one-on-one with the owners. Test rides may be had at the discretion of the owners.
The Expo sessions will offer newbies and old hands alike the opportunity to experience the diversity of human powered vehicles. This is the perfect chance to interact with owners, ask them questions about their ride and check out the machines first hand. All sorts of rigs are expected; everything from fully enclosed velomobiles to load carrying machines to electric assisted cycles.
Wildfire HPV will be there with a variety of recumbent bikes, trikes and a velomobile or two.
The ride will be approximately 20 miles at a moderate pace through the beautifully scenic Portsmouth area.
There are no restrictions on the types of human powered vehicles that may participate in the rally – except that they must have at least partially human powered drive mechanisms and must be roadworthy to participate in the on-road ride.
