Had LBS Recheck the brake setup!

After installing the new rotors I was fairly certain that I had the brakes adjusted properly, but a few miles on the trike proved differently. I took the trike to my LBS for a brake adjustment and he was fairly confident that it is setup properly now. But he did inform me that I would have to come back after I have rode with them for a while.

The package of wheel discs from Baccura was rescheduled for delivery on Monday, so the wheel project is again on hold.

For a long while I have been interested in purchasing a GPS to help with my training, but after looking at they few that were out there I was not highly impressed by any. A regular GPS system would cost a bundle and would have many extras that I do not want or need. Until a few days ago I was still looking until I came across a new product called ADEO from a company named MotionLingo. This product has no screen and all the information is stored in memory and the information such as speed etc. is told to me verbally while riding. I am also able to upload the information to my computer, and even overlay my course on a Google map.

This unit also allows the attachment of an MP3 player while using it. As a update is ready it will speak above the sound of the music. I for one will not wear a headphone, I will use a set of small speakers mounted behind my seat. This way I can hear the sounds of traffic as well as the information. Here is a link to the a link to the software demo.

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.
