Fantastic day fantastic ride!

At 10:50 this morning the sun was shining and the temperature was a nice 67 degrees. The wind was a brisk 8 MPH which is nothing compared to the last few days. I headed out to the canal to run the road running parallel. I was there in no time and was on the road 3 minutes later. There was hardly any traffic vehicular or bike, which made the ride easy as could be. A few times the sky got dark and the wind picked up, but no rain anywhere. When I reached the Griggstown crossing I crossed the canal and the Milstone river and headed west on River Road, and did run into a huge amount of cars. I think that I will stay on the South side of the canal to avoid the traffic. It wouldn't be to bad if the road was straight, but there are a huge amount of curves and blind spots. I continued West until I reached Blackwellsmills Road and made a left and headed back for the car. When I got there I met a few bikers and continued on with them for a while, then turned back to the car. I ended up with 14.5 miles. The ride was extremely relaxing and I look forward to another day like this.

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.
