Recumbent tricycle learnings#3

 It takes about 20-30 minutes to setup and get going, 15 minutes to take down.

Started wearing a doo rag to prevent sweat from running into my eyes.

Day 9 was 8.13 miles in 0:58:29. Avg. speed; 8.3 mph. Max speed 16.3 mph. Elevation loss; 81.7 feet. Elevation gain; 62.7; Avg. pace 7:11 min/mi. 94 degrees Fahrenheit.

Took the bike with me to Minnesota. Bought some bungee cords to fasten it in place and keep the bike from rolling forward and knocking the gear shift out of drive.

Biked on the railroad trail on the other side of Lake Waconia, trail is 26.6 miles Wayzata to Lester Prairie.

9/3/2020 was 21.16 miles in 3:01:34. Avg. speed; 7.0 mph. Max speed 9.3 mph. Elevation loss; 60.0 feet. Elevation gain; 12.8; Avg. pace 8:34 min/mi. 66 degrees Fahrenheit. The support holding up the chain under my seat unscrewed itself and dropped the chain off the front sprocket, luckily the bolt was still in the clip and since you always have to have your allen wrenches with you was able to fix it and keep going. Would have done another 10 miles but a bathroom was needed and the only one I knew for sure was back the way I came.

Went to St. Paul to stay with a friend after hip replacement surgery. Biked around Lake Como. 9/7/2020; Didn't get the app started correctly, about 1.5 hours, maybe 4.5 miles in total. 58 degrees Fahrenheit.

I am definitely not anywhere close to being in shape for biking.

9/10/2020 was 3.4 miles in 0:48:59. Avg. speed; 3.4 mph. Max speed 16.8 mph. Elevation loss; 25.6 feet. Elevation gain; 48.9; Avg. pace 14:24 min/mi. 63 degrees Fahrenheit. This one and the previous 2 days don't have the app working correctly.

Mirrors need tightening halfway thru the rides. Doing this one-handed doesn't work very well, You really need the hold the mirror in place while you tighten the Allen screw. 

Buying a cell phone holder so I can see the Zeopoxa app in real time.

9/14/2020 was 5.14 miles in 0:39:21. Avg. speed; 7.8 mph. Max speed 18.3 mph. Elevation loss; 92.8 feet. Elevation gain; 90.9; Avg. pace 7:39 min/mi. 79 degrees Fahrenheit.

Finally got the app working, previous three days were completely wrong.
