Ride ended do to rain and strong winds.


After a light lunch I headed out the door for my ride. The weather at the time was partly cloudy. I rode about 3.5 miles and all of a sudden the sky turned dark gray and the rain started to fall. As I headed home the winds started to pick up and become very gusty. By the time I reached home I had 4.0 miles rode at an average speed of 11.39 mph, and a max speed of 17.4 mph. The temperature dropped at least 5 degrees and the wind was now a constant 11 mph with much stronger gusts. I am lucky I got a few miles in today as the next 5 days call for rain.

I spent part of the morning polishing the trike and getting to the hard spots I missed the other day. I haven't decided on my next project, but I am sure something will come to mind.

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.
