Lost In The 50's
As the summer kicks into full swing with temperatures breaking the 100 mark more frequently than ever, I can’t help but question my plan to get another trike. Some of you may have read previous posts of mine regarding how much I hate the hot weather. I’ve never had any tolerance for the heat and avoid the outdoors when temperatures head above 80. As I read the many posts in this forum, I see topics regarding Cool vests and all sorts of hydration techniques. And the most striking aspect to me is that the majority of you,, “still enjoy” riding under these circumstances! One of the main reasons I sold my Valkyrie trike was that I never rode her in the warmer weather and that was causing maintenance issues. She only had some road time in the Fall, Winter and early Spring. As much as I miss having a trike, I can’t help but question my intention to move forward with another purchase. Maybe I’m just not cut out for the true 'biker/triker' way of life. I guess my real dilemma was that I chose to move south to Virginia, (although I do love the state), instead of north. I should be up in northern Maine, lol.
Sorry for being so long winded, but I had to vent my frustration a bit as the main reason of my recent trike sale has resurfaced. So now I’m at the point where the Angel called ‘Reality’, who sits on one shoulder, is challenging the ‘Devil’ on the other shoulder who’s constantly telling telling me to; “Get a trike again, Get a trike again”. Lol,,,….
