Early but short ride!

Started out early for my ride under beautiful sun covered clouds. The temperature was a warm 65 degrees, with a wind out of the WSW at 12 Mph with gusts exceeding 20 Mph. The wind made it very hard to make any speed, but I had planned to do two loops on my Middlebush Road Loop. Near the end of my first loop the sun disappeared behind some very threatening clouds and I felt some drops of rain. I decided that since I was at the end of the loop I should call it an end to the ride. I rode 9.04 miles in 41 Minutes 11 seconds at an average speed of 13.19 and a top speed of 23.61 Mph. I burnt 421 calories and had an elevation gain of 135.53 feet. It is a shame I couldn't finish my ride as planned, but I am grateful for the good weather so far.

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.
