She's BAAAAACK!! :)

Finally a decent weekend day so JoLynn, my wife could get in her FIRST ride back after having a heart attack on Jan. 11th. 2019! Sunny 47 F just a breeze! After adding a couple of accessories to the trikes, we headed out for a flat ride around Security/Widefield, CO. where we live. We wanted to see how a short ride would effect her heart and diabetes, we stopped at Widefield Park (5 miles) and checked her blood sugar and it was fine! After a mellow lunch we headed back, 11 miles and she was all SMILES!! BJ :) 

A short ride before the Storm!!

We will be under a "Blizzard Warning" 70 mph. gusts with up to 6 inches of SNOW tomorrow, (March 13th.) so even though there were some ugly clouds and at times WIND gusts up to 40 mph. that at times threw some sand and grit into my face but it was 50F+ and mostly sunny so I got out on the trike for short ride of 10 miles. I was doing a "recon" of parts of the trail I will be hopefully leading a group ride this coming Sunday! I can tell I wasn't able to ride half of Jan. and all of Feb. due to my wife JoLynn's "heart attack", I could feel the whimpy "recumbent legs" whining a bit on the uphill grades, LOL. Even with the wind it was awesome to be out on the trike! :) Hopefully the snow will go north or south of us, it's been a long while since I've gotten to ride with the group! :)

Heading south from Powers Blvd. on the "No Name Trail", with Pikes Peak in the background!

A break in the CRUD weather and a 1st. RIDE!

Today started with WIND, gusting up to 50mph. so I figured I'd not get to ride but after JoLynn's diabetic support group meeting, the wind finally "mellowed" so I got dressed and got on the Tour II for it's first "official ride"! It was great 50F and sunny with a steady 15mph. breeze but much better than the morning! Just a ride down to Widefield Park, stopped the to eat a luna bar and check out some the "looooong throwers" on the local disc golf course at the park. Headed back via back roads found a good down hill got the trike up to 25mph. it might need a "toe-in" check but it was much more stable than the sunseeker EZ-Tad SX at that speed! 11 miles total got back to the storage unit and did some adding of accessories so it was a good day but the CRUD weather returns tomorrow and last's through most of next week, BUMMER, come on Spring!! :)

Turned out to be a nice day in the local park!

Added a new "wireless" bike computer, mounted it on the mirror, works great!! :)
