Extremely Windy Ride Today


I had a lite lunch and headed out for a leisurely ride, but was I in for a surprise. When I left I headed down my street at 17+ mph but as I turned to leave the development I got hit in the face with some extremely strong winds, it felt like I ran into a wall. I struggled to maintain speed and at some up hill runs against the wind I hit a max 8 mph. Even with these strong winds I was able to ride 16.29 miles at an average speed of 12.86 mph and a max speed of 21.9 mph. The weather conditions were temperature 65 degrees and the wind was out of the N at 9 to 21 mph, but I could swear it was 30 mph winds. I burnt 769 calories according to the Adeo GPS Trainer.

As of now I haven't heard from Halters regarding the tires so I guess I won't have them for the ride on Monday. I sure would have loved having them.

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.
