When it's too wet to Trikke...

It rained most of the day. No Trikking today. Tomorrow, I have obligations until evening. But, by then the chance of rain should be minimal and I will be out on my Trikke again. Night Trikking! It's always cooler and if there are no clouds, I will be able to stargaze as I ride. I love the feel of the wind in my face as I roll down the road and enjoy the evening sky. I wonder what the moon will be like tomorrow night. Today I spent time cleaning my house and working out on my favorite inside exercise machine, the Gazelle. I've had it for years and it's my machine of choice for inside. I have yet to do a winter of Trikking but I imagine that the Trikke can be used in the cold weather unless it is raining or snowing. (I know, there is a Trikke for snow but I think I will stick to pavement for now). In the colder weather it's just going to be a matter of dressing for the weather and I would think that dressing in layers would be the best method. One certainly would not have to worry much about getting cold. The Trikke is such a good workout that I should be able to generate all the heat that I need. I think winter Trikking could be very exhilarating!

I'm back...

I've been away. First I was travelling and then when I did get back home I had deadlines on two projects that I had to attend to before anything else. Yesterday and today were the first times in August that I have been on my Trikke. When I had a broken rear wheel and I couldn't ride until I got the new air tire from Trikke, I was going crazy. I had the time and the inclination, but not a working Trikke. In this case, I was just too busy meeting deadlines to make time for Trikking. Now that I have the time to Trikke again, I decided that I also had the time to blog about Trikking.

The first part of my travels included a visit to Buellton, California to meet with the people at Trikke Tech. I spent part of a morning talking with John Simpson (Trikke's CEO) and Rachael Morehouse (Managing Director of Operations and the person in charge of School Programs). I even got to meet Gildo Beleski (inventor of the Trikke and holder of 2 patents on the Trikke). I rode a T-8, a T-12 and tried out a tribred. While I was there I picked up a brake cable (which was covered under Trikke's 12 month warrenty) and bought a spare tire, tube and the paddles for changing the tire. All in all it was a very informative and productive meeting. I look forward to working with Trikke.
