Team Bacchetta

Team Bacchetta Member Bio - Marshall Price

Name: Marshall Price
Sex: Male
Age: 48
Location: Macon, Georgia

Riding Background: I rode for a couple of years in my 20s but was mostly recreational. 4 years ago I decided to start riding again since I love the feeling of riding down country roads. Enjoying the sun and exploration as can only be enjoyed on a bicycle.

How did you get into Recumbents? Upright bikes were painful for me in all the normal places, while playing around online I saw a 3 wheeled recumbent, also known as a trike. Decided that was the ride for me. It was for the first season and a half then I saw a Bacchetta. After more research and meeting some Bacchetta riders, decided that the Corsa was really the bike for me. And how true it is.

What Bacchetta do you ride? 2008 Corsa

2009 Race results: Sebring: 212 Miles, Heart of the South: 200 miles in 12 hours 16 minutes, Calvin's Challenge: 242 miles

 

Personal Best Rides: All of my 2009 races were a personal best for me. But I am most proud of Calvin's. I had a very poor performance the previous year and just had a golden day of riding in 2009.
