This is a follow up to my original posting:
Had no rain Friday and Saturday, and nice temp. (for us) in mid 50's so perfect to ridding.
Friday I did 142-miles, and discovered a few things. I cannot seem to relax, so will work on this. Probably caused by the fact that I am not confident in my trike skills, thus I am not comfortable. I am tending to "pull" when making turns, rather that push and pull at the same time -- or maybe I should be just pushing, anyway more testing to do here.
I rode a route I have taken for years, as one of my favorite day rides (around Hood Canal, here in Western Washington With lots of curves, and beautiful water views of the Canal.
One section of the road which I did not know was bumpy, shook me to the point that my right foot came off the floorboard. Maybe I was just not paying attention, but sure got my attention. I am at about 30/35 mph, in a 45 zone.
And my upper chest muscles were a bit sore that evening.
Saturday: Had a talk with my self, and decided I needed PMA -positive mental attitude. I did 128-miles, mostly all on major highway and some freeway. Much more comfortable, but I still lack confidence. Same issue with "pull" when making turns, so gotta work on that. Still rough ride when there are sections in pavement that have had minor repairs.
I'm determined to get confidence as I want to make a rode trip this summer if corona virus confinement lifted
At least when weather permitting, I can do lots of day rides.
But, rain forecast for next 5-7-days.
Comments and suggestions appreciated.
Cheers,.
