Recuperation ride!

The day before yesterday I had a doctors appointment and he changed one of my medications, needless to say it caused a problem. It said to take once a day which I did, and it also it can cause drowsiness so I took it at night. Well to make a long story short it kept me awake the whole night. I called the doctor in the morning and he told me to take it in the mornings which I did today before my ride. I just hope I sleep tonight.

I rode this morning and covered 15.27 miles in one hour and seven minutes and burnt 733 calories. I had an average speed of 13.8 mph and a max speed of 25.0 mph. I had a max heart rate of 146 bpm. The weather was 80 degrees with a SW wind at 15 mph. I will not be riding tomorrow as I have my granddaughters first birthday party.

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.
