Dual ride report

This morning I loaded the trike into my SUV to go on a short group ride starting at 10:00 AM. We rode 10.81 miles with an average speed of 10.84 mph and a top speed of 15.2 mph. The weather in East Windsor was 70 degrees with the wind out of the SE at 6 mph. I burnt 510 calories. After the ride we had brunch and I headed back to my local area for another short ride. On the second ride I rode 10.65 miles with an average speed of 12.08 and a max speed of 27.2 mph which I maintained on the flats for 4 minutes. I burnt 503 calories on the second ride. The temperature was 75 degrees with the wind out of the SSE at 9 mph. All in all I rode 21.46 miles burning 1,013 calories.

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.
