Completed My Winter Wardrobe

This morning I received an email from Bike Nashbar offering free shipping or 20% off any items. I new I needed a base layer and decided to see what they had. I found a nice suitable top that would provide me with the warmth I will need to continue riding. Here is the specifications from the Nashbar site.

Terramar Mid-Weight Lycra Crew Base Layer

The Terramar Mid-Weight Lycra Crew Base Layer is a key component to keeping warm and comfortable in any cold weather outdoor activity. Constructed from a polyester/Lycra® fabric that wicks moisture away from the body, so you stay warm and dry. Contoured scoop tail for performance fit that keeps cold air out, and rib-knit Lycra® collar and cuffs provide an exact fit for added comfort. Raglan sleeve design gives a free range of motion and flatlock seams prevent chaffing. Sizes: M (38-40), L (42-44), XL (46-48)
Item No. » AA-TMLC
The cost for this base layer is $14.97 on sale and the original cost was $29.95

The more the weather changes for the worse I am getting more hyped up to ride this winter season. Of course the weather has to cooperate a little, and if lucky it will be a mild winter.

A few minutes ago the Postman delivered the tights and Balaclava from Performance bike and I tried the Balaclava on for size, and I can see it looks like I will be very warm on those cold winter days. I will try on the tights tonight and see how they fit, but just from looking at them I am almost sure they will fit just fine.

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.
