Extra Post today!


Early this afternoon I headed for the park bike trail which is two mile ride from home. I got there to find many of the people that I normally see leaving, I wondered why, but didn't ask. I found out after riding the path for a few yards, the Japanese beetles were swarming, and there were thousands of them. They were in my hair, helmet and clinging to my shirt and pants. I had to put my hand under the cinches to remove a handful of these critters. I of course left the park and rode the remaining 12 miles on local roads. Turned out to be a real nice ride. It was a little hot but no humidity. The temperature was 81 degrees with a wind out of the North at 8 MPH.

When I got home from my ride I had a surprise waiting in my mail box. The custom flag I had made at Devil Woman Flags was there. I was very excited to see how it came out. I spent $15.00 US for the flag embroidered on both sides and an additional $2.50 for shipping. I ordered it on Monday and received it on Friday. Not a bad turn around time. It took a few minutes to install on my whip, and I had to take pictures and add it to my web page . I feel the cost was a great value for the money, and I do recommend her for other flags.

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.
