My Recumbent Days

Felt really good to get out on the road and put some miles on the trike. I ordered new tires as mine are pretty well worn. They wore slightly uneven more wear on the inside than the outside. Maybe the wheels need to be aligned, but I doubt it chances are it is just from turning sharp at high speed. Well the ride went smooth the weather was sunny and warm with a strong wind.  Now I know to expect strong winds when I ride within the development, but they get less powerful when I leave and head out to the local roads.

I have rode many miles in what I thought was windy conditions, until this morning.  Last evening we had some very bad thunderstorms with extremely strong winds and heavy rains.  I expected to see a huge amount of damage, but I was surprised when I didn't see much of anything.  But what we did have was very strong winds the remains of the storm, that hasn't left the area.  I was fighting hard to maintain my speed, and on some of the hills I thought I would have to get off, but I pushed and pulled on those Frogs and made it over the top.
