Short Ride report

Yesterday at 9:30AM I started my daily ride, but ended it at 10.90 miles after my sun burn started to bother me. I use sun block, but one of the medications I take make me photo sensitive. My average speed for this ride was 12.46 mph and my max speed was 28.90 and I burnt 508 calories. The weather was real nice witha temperature of 73 degrees, but it felt a lot hotter. The wind was from the South at 5-7 mph.

The trike handled great on the high speed runs, as I was doing sprints. The steering modification is working out real well and the CAD drawing that Tom has done are real nice. The finished bracket is very professional looking. I guess they will be ready in June sometime. I will continue to report on the tests.

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.

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.

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.
