2006 has been a great one, with almost 4000 miles ridden for the year, a fair showing at the Wasco Wild West 75 and a pretty exciting Seattle to Portland.
As I have mentioned, for 2007, an additional goal is to get down to my “competition” weight of 185lbs (I was at 195lbs in the begining of 2006 reaching 215 by October.) So far I have “dropped” 11 pounds, well on my way to meeting my goal weight by May 2007!
I have also made a couple of changes to the trike, mainly, I replaced the idlers with Terracycle Idlers and have removed all but 4 inches of chain tube (the short tube keeps the chain from bouncing around.)
I also had to replace the resistance band on my trainer – the folks at SportCrafters replaced it with out problems! And this on a 4 year old model no less…
My training program for 2007 is getting into high gear – an hour, 6 days a week (averaging 17-20 miles per session) and as soon as the weather warms up, I’ll be adding longer rides outside and catching up on missed episodes of my favorite shows while I ride inside.
