2020 - A New Start!

I can hardly believe it that it has been 3 years since I posted on here.

Things got worse health wise, to the point I couldn't ride, my lack of stamina and shortness of breath took away one of the greatest  joys, RIDING!
First I tried a SunTrike Tadpole, nice trike, but not what I wanted, 

So then I tried a Catrike, that is what I was looking for.
I actually rode for about a year and had a great year with it, but the following year, I just couldn't manage it.  So our riding was greatly cut back and last year no riding at all.




 I made several trips to the VA in Iowa City, by the way GREAT facility,
But they were unable to solve my problem and their efforts are ongoing.
The majority of my issues are related to Agent Orange exposure.



BUT, my desire to get outside and ride did not decrease. SO, I decided to buy a Falco System, to help me ride, when I just couldn't make it up that hill. I also made an adjustable backrest for my Catrike Expedition. Preliminary test ride, I hit 28 MPH on setting 4, without even trying, will have to dial that back when Judy and I riding together!

With nice days coming I need to make a few adjustments and get out there and RIDE!

Look for that post!
