UpdatesContinue Part 3.


As I was unable to ride do to commitments and illness I had plenty of time to think about the direction I will go regarding upgrades to the Black Widow. I was forced to change the Minoura SpaceBar as it was getting old and wouldn't stay straight on the dérailleur tube. I replaced it with a Minoura SwingGrip which I am not so sure it will withstand my critical views. Only time will tell! I thought hard about replacing it with the TerraCycle accessory mount, but it was a huge difference in cost. The TerraCycle mount would have cost $50.00 US plus shipping and the Minoura mount was $13.98 including shipping.

I am not sure as which upgrade will be next, the rear AreoSpoke wheel or the GPS. Only when I count my cash will know which will be first. I am also thinking about a front fairing, but not sure where that will come in.

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.
