Nice day for a leasure ride.

This morning I started out for a nice leisurely ride. The weather was great except for the strong winds that seem to hang around for days. There were gusts to 15 Mph coming from the SW. I rode 14.07 Miles at an average speed of 12.50 Mph and a peak speed of 22.9 Mph. I feel great except for this lingering stomach problem. The more I ride the better my back feels, not that my back doesn't hurt a huge amount, but it is somewhat better when I ride.

I have become accustomed to the voice of my Adeo, that I don't think I could ride without it. It makes my solo training rides much more pleasant, and it sounds like my coach pushing me. If any of you reading this have an Adeo I would love to hear about your experience using it.

I was supposed to be receiving the bar-ends today, but I tend to doubt it since there is no update on the UPS site. Today would have been a perfect day to do it with the nice weather. I will update the blog if I do get it.

UPDATE: The bar-ends delivery has been rescheduled for tomorrow do to bad weather on the way here from California. The delivery of my pair of SlipStreamz came this afternoon and I installed them on my helmet. I will test them tomorrow if things go well.

I had to reroute the audio cable on the trike to accommodate a better cable position when riding.

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.
