Patrick please post some recent photos of your trike with some New Mexico scenery in the background for us snowbound folks in northern climes to admire.
I imagine on a trike the rear fenders are less important for the rider in terms of maintaining a dry butt. But from an aesthetic point of view I would want really fantastic fenders on my trike, with a lot of metal wrapping around the tires some of the old French bikes on Joel Metz's website: http://blackbirdsf.org/courierracing/velos.html Also a really nice and huge saddlebag. What is it like to draft behind a trike? I have never tried but I am imagining that you can tuck in closer, with your front wheel between the trike's two rear wheels. Is that so? If it is, when I am ready to make my Charly Miller attempt at Paris-Brest-Paris I may hire 6 strong tricyclists to take turns breaking the wind for me for 200 km at a stretch. Their large custom saddlebags, well within my reach, will be stocked with all kinds of delicious food and beverages. Powerful LED headlights mounted on the fronts of all three fenders will really light up the road at night.
