Ride Report and slight mishap!

I started my ride late today and planned on doing 20 miles, but alas no luck today. After 8.5 miles I had a flat the first for the Scorcher tires. I tried to find the hole but it was so small and the pump didn't have enough volume for me to inflate to higher pressure for a leak test. I was close to home so I replaced the tube and headed back. When I got home I repaired the tube to use as a spare. I was playing with fate by riding when the roads are wet, as they tend to pick up debris. I wonder if there is a tire demon, since it is the day after I ordered replacement tires. I heard form Zach Kaplan today via email, he told me that I should have the tires by tomorrow, but I tend to think Friday will be the day that they will be delivered.

I received the I-Ride speakers that I had won from Active Tunes a few minutes ago. That reminds me I have to replace the batteries in the speakers.

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.

I won't be riding today as my back went out on me today after unloading the trike from the Santa Fe. It usually goes back to normal in a day or so. I am hoping it is back in by tomorrow as the weather looks very promising for a ride. Wednesday looks like there will be rain and another day of no riding. But I will wait it out. Thursday and Friday will not be riding days as my son David is going into the hospital for Crohns surgery. We are hoping that all goes well and he is out of the hospital this weekend. Most depends if his pain is tolerable and he is able to eat and clear his bowels. T his morning I intended to ride but while shifting gears my front dérailleurs cable snapped. Not sure what caused it but I loaded the trike in the Santa Fe and headed for Halters Cycle in South Brunswick for a quick repair. Halters service can't be beat, they always come through with a repair when needed. In a few minutes Chris had the problem fixed and I was on my way. For those of you that r...

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.
