Bugs in the teeth report

It's May already?!

Time sure is going by fast so far this Spring. Joanne and I got a ride in the last week of April (29th). The flat was fixed and I was ready to hit the road... then I decided to try to move the crank arm adjusters up one notch. It didn't work out so good so I raised the seat a few times (even over the max height mark) but couldn't get the right knee to have full rotation. Joanne headed towards Tenino and I headed back to the shop.

The trike was there all aired up and the hand cranks were in the new position (opposite like a bike) so I got the idea to catch up with Joanne on the hand-cycle. Joanne put in 20 miles that day and I got in 15 (ended up 2.5 miles behind Joanne, she made good time).

We're pretty set on riding to work this Thursday (May 6th). Joanne has done that distance several times so she shouldn't have any issues. The ride to work will be about one mile shorter than my longest ride on the trike (Mellow Yellow and I did 21 miles on the trail last year). The test will be how strong I feel riding the same distance back home after work!

I did ride home from work once last year. It took me three hours! I'm pretty sure my average pace will be faster than 6 mph this time. I'd better bring my cell phone just in case...
