Why no posts

When I returned from my vacation in Europe I had a few days before I reported to the hospital for spinal surgery. I was operated on September 9th and am healing a little slow as my wound is still oozing. The doctors informs me not to worry, but it is messy and just a pain in the back. I am unable to be up and out of bed for to long a time as of now I am still extremely tired. The good news is that the pain in my left leg seems to be gone, but I now have pain in my lower left back and groin. Chances are I strained myself getting in and out of bed. I will post when I have more news.

What's more likely is that you're laying in a position to keep yourself comfortable because of the wound and you've just upset the muscles. You probably don't even realize it but when you have something like that on your body you do odd things like lay weird, walk weird and even sit in odd positions and cause your body to rest in positions it is not used to or comfortable with. After my surgery from laying and sitting in odd positions my lower back and shoulders hurt for a week.

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.

What's new and service report.

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

Washed Out Again But not completely!

I t has been three days since my last ride and I am bored silly. There seems to be no end to the constant down pour. I am hoping we get some clearing this afternoon, so maybe if the roads dry I can get out on the road. I installed the Sigma Sport PC-3 Heart Rate Monitor on its custom mount. I was able to get it working, but due to the excessive hair on my chest the signal was not constant. I removed some hair in the area the transmitter goes and I got it working. I might have to shorten the hair even more for good readout. The Black Widow now has three separate computers. One for Speedometer One for Cadence and One for Heart Rate. The two photos are self explanatory. UPDATE: After the storm passed and in between showers I headed for the open road. I planned on doing at least 14 miles if the rain stayed away, but I would have been happy with a few miles. I was on my tenth mile when doing 30 MPH on a slight downhill when I came to a curve in the road. The trike handled the curves real
