Hot! Hot! Hot! & Windy

We had another power failure at 2:30 AM and ended 11:30 AM which meant another late start for my ride. I was able to get out on the road at 12:00 PM and rode for one hour twenty four minutes and twenty eight seconds, and completed 16.54 miles. During this ride I fought the strong winds of 11 mph with gusts exceeding 23 mph, made this ride a real killer. The temperature of 96 degrees didn't help either, but I really need the exercise, if I want to keep the weight off and my pain level at a reasonable amount. The less I ride the more pain I am in. I burnt 801 calories and my average speed was 11.76 and my max speed was 25.90 mph. There were times that I couldn't break the 10 mph ceiling because of the wind, it felt like I was riding on three flat tires, what a drag!

I seem to be having some sound problems with my cable setup on the trike, so I am going to use some contact cleaner and try again tomorrow. What makes me think it is a dirty contact is that if I jiggle the wires it works well.

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.
