Computer Mount upgrade!




One of the major problems on a trike is where to mount the computer. I originally mounted the computer on the right hand steering bar, which meant I would have to take my eyes off the road and look down and to the right to see it. I felt that was not only dangerous but not easy. I then expanded upon an idea that Cliff on ActionBent forum came up with. He had used a reflector mount as the mount for his computer. I took that idea and expanded upon it by using a right angle mount which brings the computer more to the center of steering and easier to see. I also added a coupling from CPVC which is PVC hot water pipe to the bracket. This allowed the computers original mount to be used more securely. I am posting two photos of the mount one is viewed from the trike seat and the other from front of trike. Once I mount it all tomorrow I will post the installed version.

Minor repairs and adjustments done, but no rides coming.

I completed the adjustments I needed and everything is working fine.  I needed a repair on my accessory arm as it came loose, but a little Epoxy fixed that, cleaning up after was more of a problem. Epoxy is a pain to work with. T here won't be any rides for the next few days as the weather is down right crazy. One minute it is sunny the next Thunder storms.

Major set back in my training!

Well the worst thing happened after stopping the medication for my Acid Reflux and starting a Homeopathic herbal system. I became extremely nauseous and totally sick. I got so bad I need a emergency shot of Tigan which didn't work, so I have been sick for days. I finally went back to my doctor who put me back on a Proton Pump Inhibitor which is the same type of medication I am trying to avoid as it is capable of causing bone fractures. During this period I was vomiting and pulled my back out so I can barely walk yet alone exercise or ride the trike. I feel totally out of control of the situation. It will take a few days and I will be back on track. The first thing I did was make an appointment with a different Gastro doctor for a second opinion, as I want to be off these dangerous medications. I will let you know how thing progress and hopefully get back to what this blog is about.

First ride of the season

This morning I took my first ride of the season I went the back roads to Etra Lake park and road the sandy trail, it isn't a suitable ride for a trike. There were areas that were so sandy that the tires just wouldn't grip so I was forced to ride the grass on the edge. I then left the park and road local roads back home. I then came home to meet my wife for a 2.5 mile walk. I had some bad leg cramps while riding but worked through them.
