My Recumbent Days

T he weather here has been very cold, and I picked up a Streptococcus infection in my Sinus and Nasal canals.  I have been on one Antibiotic for 6 days then the doctor took a culture of my nasal passage.  The results were so bad I am on Clarithromycin for the next 14 days, then another one for another ten days.  I am sick of a dog not because of the strep but the medicine. T he seat is now mounted and so are the water bottles and new headlight. There is a new horn on the way, not sure how I will mount it, but I will figure it out.  ZI will post photos when finished.

I went out after lunch for my ride as the temperature was warmer.  I had a great start to the ride but the wind started to pick up drastically. I pushed on to finish my usual route, but I have to say I am tired.  The tweaks to the seat and the location of the water bottle cages seems fine.  I also made a modification to the flag mount as it was whacking me in the helmet. It works to an extent, but needs some more tweaking.

T oday I started out after lunch to test my new seat and the modifications I made.  The seat works fine, but other things need some attention.  The neckrest does not come far enough forward, so that is going to be a project.  The water bottle cages are parallel so the bottles can fall out which one did I am working on a fix for that.  Otherwise all is fine, but I am sure I will find some other things, that need adjustment.
