Tonight's Tracking Up the Street and Back
Jacque and I just took a short run up the street to limber up her new knee. We had just gotten into the southbound bike lane on Jefferson when a large SUV veered into our lane right behind us and appeared to not realize he was not only out of HIS lane but about to flatten US. I had two blinky tail lights running and the usual 6 foot bicycle flags waving in the air but he must have been texting or otherwise distracted. We saw all this in our rear view mirrors and began screaming and waving at him to hopefully get his attention.
It must have worked because he woke up at the last moment and veered back into his proper lane.
It's been years since either of us have had such a close call. What with cell phones, multimedia, and the blasted Pokemon-Go sweeping the country it's a wonder anyone can survive a trip across town. BAH

Double Trouble Trikes
Today's Tracking
We've missed too many days of therapeutic trike riding so we finally took two tonight. Jacque got tired of waiting on me and took off on her own Catrike by herself without me.
By the time I got going with me in the front seat and Tinkerbell in the back basket, she was at least 3 miles ahead of me.
She had already turned around at her own personal midpoint by the time I met her I showed right at 3 miles at this point. Since she wasn't running her odometer, we estimate from my miles (6-ish) that she must have ridden at least 7 or 8 miles, on her own, with the new knee, with no assistance.
She also had the help of Lilly in the basket behind her on the trike.
She paid for the miles a wee bit the next day but she's still smiling.....

Flat Coke, Yuck
Today's Trip Tracking via APRS, GPS, and Ham Radio
Our Swamp Cooler on our house roof got new pads last week but has been performing quite poorly in the cool air department.
Jacque set to making me a couple of short sleeve white dress shirts today and the heat and stuffiness in her sewing room was making for slow progress.
So, I alighted upon the roof and set to myself, seeing what might be the problem.
Turns out the several-year-old V-shaped water trays on top of each pad assembly were all plugged. They have slots to allow water to spread out on each pad, and they were plugged with both shards of aspen fibers as well as sediment gunk from our hard water. I cleaned them as best I could, shook the gunk out of them, and enlarged each slot so more water could soak through.
Almost immediate improvement was the result. Jacque cooled off and was much happier in the sewing cave, so I saddled up and went for a bike ride, of course.
By then it was eleven-ish and the sun up very high so it was NOT cool outside, but it was a fun ride anyhow.
Days like this make you glad there's breeze and wind, to help keep the arm-pits from overflowing too much.
This was the first ride on my newly installed Terratrike seat fabric, and it was very nice, thank you.
The new corners are double reinforced and don't scare me every time I hit a bump, worrying the fabric might rip and dump me.
A friend's family is building a new house right on the corner of the loop I take for most of these rides so I stopped to critique their progress. They are doing a great deal of work themselves, adults and kids, and they are making great progress.
I snatched this picture of them all dirty and sweaty from their labors, but The Grime did NOT interfere with their good looks.
On the way home I encountered a non furry friend.
As you can see, since he was just a large Bull snake and not a rattler, I didn't try to kill OR relocate him.
I wish he lived in our storage shed so he could keep the blasted rats and mice killed off.
Since my sweet wife has a phobia about snakes of ANY sort, and this guy was just outside the property line, I just watched him for a few minutes before he woke up and noticed me and departed off the road into the tree line. I rode on up to the house without further disturbing him.
Oh, Yeah, I almost forgot the reason for today's title "Flat Coke". When I got home I was a bit loopy and checked my blood sugar. I had [again] forgotten to back off my insulin pump's basal level while riding and my blood glucose clocked in at 43. So, being thirsty and dry in addition to being low on sugar, I dragged out a 2-year old plastic 12-oz. bottle of Real Coke (we normally drink only diet stuff around here). I poured it into my ice mug without a trace of fizz or bubble and forced it down. For those who have experienced it, Coke with no Fizz isn't much of ANYTHING. It's kinda nasty and blah, but at least it did elevate my blood glucose back into the human level... Then I was able to pour in a nice diet A&W Root beer with LOTS of fizz and enjoyed a good burp.

Don't She look Great On a Bicycle Built for Two
The Evening Ride's Tracking
Jacque took her Catrike to the Therapy Center Wednesday to show her therapist what she wanted to ride and see if she could get "official approval" for riding such things. The therapist was duly impressed and told her she could ride recumbent trikes "As Much as She Wanted to". So she was torqued about taking a tandem ride all afternoon. I've gotten addicted to riding in the morning before the sun gets up while it's coolest so I talked her into waiting at least until the sun started to go down for a LITTLE bit of cooling from the hot afternoon.
I'm very impressed and proud of her - Knee Replacement 5 weeks ago and now riding Pedal-Powered machines without complaint. 5-plus miles, including some mild hill climbing.
The weather was warm at this time of day but not terribly hot. In other words we survived.
I got some video, will see if any of it is fit to post.

How About a Half-Hour Ride?
Today's Tracking Actually Worked
Yesterday I noticed my GPS/Ham Radio tracker reported NOTHING at all during the Monday Morning Ride, and found the antenna connection had separated. I repaired it and today it seems to be back to working the way it's supposed to.
This morning I wanted to get back in a more timely fashion so I decided to see how far I could get in a HALF hour before returning to base. Which really translates to a one hour ride; the half hour applies to coming and going.
Except coming back is a bit messier and slower. But I made it almost 5 miles, which makes for almost a ten-miler for the day, haw haw.
Jacque brought her single seat Catrike Pocket back from home to the office and has been riding it around the parking lot in the evenings after work. It likely will not be long before she's back in the back seat of this tandem trike I've been riding by myself so much recently. Cycling again seems to be helping her knee replacement to heal and build strength.
I rode off forgetting my GoPro again this morning so no video again, lucky reader(s).

Can't Go Far in 1 Hour but Need to Go Anyways
No Tracking from this morning. I didn't realize until just now when I went to look at the aprs.fi link to track the trike there was NOTHING this morning, in spite of more than an hour's ride. I just got back in the air conditioned RV after repairing another broken antenna connection at the feedpoint, a common failure with J pole antennsa. Oh Well. Maybe Manana.....
I awoke promptly at 5 AM this morning and loafed only a few minutes before saddling up to ride but, again, was aghast at how much time I'd wasted getting READY to roll: It was a quarter to 6 before I actually pedaled away into the short lived darkness.
I actually remembered the GoPro vid-cam today but will have to see about processing it down enough to squeeze in a few clips into this blog entry. VOILA: Actually got a mini-video of this morning's ride...
Just a few minutes later starting out meant a noticeable increase in early morning traffic, but it still was quiet enough I only had to wait less than a minute to get across Jefferson into the southbound bike lane and get the quarter mile or so southward to the diversion channel bike-path entry.
The construction crews have had the bike trail underpass for Osuna blocked off for months now, and I've been fighting my way up to the dangerously busy intersection of Chappel and Osuna to take the longish detou7r across Osuna. Today I decided to widen the gap in the barriers by hand, if necessary, to allow my trike to get through and thus avoid the Osuna vehicular cross traffic. With careful jockeying I found I could get through the barriers without any "barrier adjustment" at all, thus increasing the enjoyment of this stretch of riding immensely.
I thought to myself that I'd just ride as far as I could until 6:30 and then turn around, which actually worked out well today. I was able to get all the way alongside Paseo Del Norte to the Bosque Trail entrance, and then down almost 3 or so miles before the 6:30 return-to-earth dictum.
It was 7:40-ish or so by the time I got back for my shave & shower, and almost exactly 9 AM by the time I appeared in the doorway for work.

Things Done Today
I did not get any bike riding done today, Saturday, though I had sorta planned for one around noonish.
Instead, I put a new fabric seat on my recumbent 2-wheeler bike, which is a nice change.
It was so warm out that I drug the bike up on the deck under the shade of the deck roof, which was still uncomfortably warm but not as bad as out in the sunshine.
I should have taken "Before" pictures of the old seat, but here are 2 pictures of the new seat:
This bike is home built - by someone else I bought it from - but the seat may well be a Terratrike seat since this Terratrike replacement fabric fit it even better than the job I recently did on the Terratrike storebought trike. It was so hot and stuffy today by the time I got through with the seat I was in no mood to ride anywhere, though of course I did sit in the seat to see how it felt, and it felt great. Well worth the 60-something bucks it cost for the fabric from Terratrike. The previous seat I stitched myself from sail mesh, and it took a lot of cutting, lacing, and all kinds of grief. THIS seat cover clips on with multiple snap-together straps, which are then pulled tight to fit the seat. Maybe a 20-minute job, once the old seat was removed, which took a lot longer.
About the middle of this project it was getting so hot I decided to interrupt it and replace the pads in our swamp cooler on the roof. I was glad I did, since the old ones were full of scale and gunk. After I got them all replaced, I immediately turned on the water pump and the swamp blower motor and wondered why the house wasn't cooling off. After about an hour I decided to check the temperature difference inside vs. outside the house. I was mildly shocked to find the outside temp was 97 degrees on one side of the house, 99 on the other. The inside temperature? 77 degrees, which didn't feel all that cool, UNLESS I just came in from outside. There's only so much a swamp cooler can do, and a 20 degree drop ain't that bad.
It was a scorcher today, and I have to be glad we didn't spend the entire day in Albuquerque where it's normally at least 10 degrees hotter than our 6800 foot altitude at the casa.
I also did all the laundry today since Jacque was in town all day for an embroidery hoo-hah.
Then I pulled weeds in the front yard and moved several wheelbarrows of wood chips over to a patch of weeds sprouting up in the middle of our so-called xeriscaped yard section. Then I buried a bucket of slop in the compost pile down the hill from the house. I replaced the missing yellow bug lamp out on the front porch, plus cleaned up the firewood still piled helter-skelter on the front deck.
No wonder I'm pooped. Although it pains me to remember back when I was a young punk such a low level of exertion would not have fazed me at all. Oh Well.

Thursday
Today's Tracking via Ham Radio & GPS
I managed to wake up at 4:55 AM today so I was able to find time for another short ride.
In spite of being repetitive, I again found it very satisfying to be out cruising around under my own steam.
Jacque's knee surgery recovery is coming along well, so we expect to be riding together again (of course, even shorter rides for the immediate future) in another week or so.
I encountered quite a few other riders this morning. They're probably more regular than I am.
I have to laugh at our human sense of "caste" amongst cyclists. As with automobiles, it often seems the more expensive the ride, the snootier the owner. About 1 out of 3 or 4 fellow cyclists will wave or pass a greeting of any sort, and the upper crusts of we pedalers don't even look at passersby, nor waste the breath for a greeting. Oh Well. Even if no other cyclist was ever friendly, it doesn't hurt ME to wave and say HI to EVERYbody. It's fun and invigorating to ride so that's the focus for this old fart.
As I went through the stoplight at Edith I noticed the bike trail forked onto a sidewalk leading into the RailRunner station. I foolishly took the detour "just to see how far and where it went". It "went" maybe 100 yards and stopped dead at the edge of the parking lot. Stop, pick up the rear of the trike, turn it around so I could ride back out..... BAH.
Spotted only one hot air balloon in the air this morning, but it was a special shape balloon.... I think it's supposed to be Humpty Dumpty flying upside down with his feet in the air.

Tuesday
Tuesday Travel Track
Another thrilling day out on the early morning trail
I decided to try riding north on Jefferson up to Balloon Fiesta Park and then around to the diversion trail back down to the office.
There is a nice bike lane at Jefferson and Osuna so all was well -- at first. When I got maybe a mile north, the bike lane abruptly ended with one of Albuquerque's famous abrupt endings, pointing the hapless cyclist first up on the stupid sidewalk, then across the intersection at Journal Center to take oneself around the loop back west across to the diversion channel trail. Traffic was still fairly light so I just continued riding in the slow inside lane on Jefferson, humping like crazy around the more dangerous curves when I could see headlights approaching from the reat. Still very few cars and none came dangerously close to me, and most changed lanes when passing to allow me "ownership" of the lane I was in.
Finally got up to Balloon Fiesta Park at the north end of Jefferson, where I was rudely reminded of facts I used to know years ago when I commuted this route daily: The city, in its ever-infinite wisdom, keeps the street blocked that directly connects Jefferson to Balloon Fiesta Parkway. So I only had to ride another hundred yards or so around Honeywell and make a sharp left turn. Again, the entry to Balloon Fiesta Park and its bike trail was blocked, but this time the gates had just enough gap that I could ride carefully between them.

Another thrilling day out on the early morning trail
I decided to try riding north on Jefferson up to Balloon Fiesta Park and then around to the diversion trail back down to the office.
There is a nice bike lane at Jefferson and Osuna so all was well -- at first. When I got maybe a mile north, the bike lane abruptly ended with one of Albuquerque's famous abrupt endings, pointing the hapless cyclist first up on the stupid sidewalk, then across the intersection at Journal Center to take oneself around the loop back west across to the diversion channel trail. Traffic was still fairly light so I just continued riding in the slow inside lane on Jefferson, humping like crazy around the more dangerous curves when I could see headlights approaching from the reat. Still very few cars and none came dangerously close to me, and most changed lanes when passing to allow me "ownership" of the lane I was in.
Finally got up to Balloon Fiesta Park at the north end of Jefferson, where I was rudely reminded of facts I used to know years ago when I commuted this route daily: The city, in its ever-infinite wisdom, keeps the street blocked that directly connects Jefferson to Balloon Fiesta Parkway. So I only had to ride another hundred yards or so around Honeywell and make a sharp left turn. Again, the entry to Balloon Fiesta Park and its bike trail was blocked, but this time the gates had just enough gap that I could ride carefully between them. Then all I had to do was the usual jackknife operation getting across the intersection at Chappel and Osuna to get back on the bike trail. Albuquerque bike trails are designed for bikes only, not different varieties of people powered vehicles like trikes and recumbents.

Monday Tracking
Woke up 5 AM Monday and, by the time I got ready to roll, it was almost 6 AM. I decided to see how far I could get in 20 or so minutes.
Turns out even a shortie ride is still enjoyable and gets the blood circulating.
After the 4-something miles and a shower, the world was a smilier place.

Wow, a Weekend Ride
Today's Dry Ride Tracking
I didn't go biking early today, but I did get out before it got to the hottest part of the day.
I was net control for the SCAT (Senior Citizens And Travelers) net on the 2 meter ham radio today, as I function every Friday and Saturday morning. After that, I made some chocolate chip cookies while the house was still cool. That only took about an hour, and by now it was around 9:30 AM and the sun was getting up but I wanted to get in a decent ride before it really got hot. Up here at home it is a couple thousand feet higher in elevation and 10 degrees cooler than in Albuquerque but when it's over 100 in Albuquerque and 90+ here in Sandia Park it's still pretty uncomfortable.
I realized I left my bike pannier and helmet in Albuquerque at the RV, so I dug out my standby helmet, quick-charged a small battery to run the radios, and dug the 2-wheel recumbent out of the shed. Tires, nice and hard and full - CHECK. Plugged in the battery to activate the radios and GPS - CHECK.
Halfway down the hill I remember to check my water bottles - RATS! Not a drop of water on board.
I'd taken the bottles in last week to refill them and forgot to bring them back out to the bike.
I coulda turned around and chugged back up to the house and gotten the AWOL water bottles, but I was already running so late I decided to just press on without water and turn around early, and see how far I could go without getting too badly dehydrated.
It wasn't too bad. I made it to the top of maybe the second or third hill eastward before I decided I didn't want to go until I got dizzy. I stopped under shade trees a couple times for waterless breaks but I decided to turn it around and go back. I waited for the oncoming vehicular traffic to pass and leave me a big opening so I could do my "40 acre" turnaround without stopping or dismounting.
Glad I was to get out for a second day in a row. Now if I can just motivate myself to do it every weekday, minus of course the days we must travel out of town for mission conferences and such.

Changing Habits - Maybe
Friday Tracking via GPS and Ham Radio
Well, Friday morning I again woke up to pee, this time just AFTER 5:00 AM, so I saddled up again for as long a ride as I could squeeze into less than an hour.
This is summertime riding, but one nice thing about getting out so early is that I get very little exposure to the SUN, since it's dark when I start and barely peeking daylight by the time I get back. Plus, it's absolutely the coolest temperature-period for the entire day.
I lost my Velcro emergency strap-brake (Wind it around the handle-grip to squeeze the hand brake to keep it from rolling away when I get off ) so I've had to be careful when I stop for anything. A couple times I've had to block the wheel with my trusty Gerber Multi-Tool and I'm lucky I haven't just forgotten this expensive piece of gear and ridden away blissfully.
I was running out of time already and wanting to ride somewhere at least a little different than every-time-the-same, so I turned off the Northern Diversion Channel Trail onto the spur leading circuituously around toward Journal Center on Jefferson. I'd only gone maybe a hundred yards when I encountered a large coyote crossing the trail.... an unusually large critter but very skinny and malnourished-looking.
I got out the cell phone and caught a little of him on video, but by then he was so far away I doubt he can be seen in the video. Rats, nope, I just watched it a few more times and the only thing that can be seen is a faint moving speck.
I usually see all kinds of rabbits and roadrunners up and down along the bike trails, but this is the first time for a coyote sighting. Maybe the roadrunner keeps him skinny by leading him on false goose-chases, Har.
So no coyote video today. Maybe Manana....

Woke Up Early for the Fourth
Today's Early Morning Tracking
I woke up at 4:25 AM this morning and had to get up to pee. Since I've been wanting to start getting up at 5 to ride I thought about going back to bed for another half hour, but realizing I'd never wake back up in time to do anything but go to work, I decided What the Heck and saddled up for a ride in spite of the hour.
What great idea this turned out to be! What with the early hour and it being the 4th of July, there was almost NO traffic to dodge or otherwise deal with. The temperature was right at 70-ish, nice and cool.
I got going right at 5AM and figured I'd see how far I could ride in an hour and then turn around.
I actually made it all the way to the Bosque Trail and rode south on that for about a mile before my hour ran out. After about 5:30 several other cyclists popped up on the radar passing by, celebrating their holiday likewise.
Retracing the ride back to base, I noticed a flashing bright-white headlight heading toward me. As it eventually approached closer to me I was shocked to realize it was another TRIKE rider. A single seat Catrike Expedition, unlike my 2-seater Terratrike, but you just don't see that many trikes out and about.
We both pulled over to exchange pleasantries and swap lies.
He casually mentioned he'd just returned from an 800-something mile ride from Albuquerque to Houston to see his grandson graduate. I realized HE was the guy who made headlines in the paper recently for this stunt. He's one of the hard core riders for sure. We visited for 15-20 minutes, greatly exceeding my desired time for today's outing. But it was great to visit with him and see all the other cyclists coming and going.
There also was a proliferation of hot air balloons taking off as the sun arose, totaling at least 20 or so by the time I got back to a good shower, shave, and clean clothes.

Another Very Short One
Today's Very Short Tracking
I took a couple mile walk yesterday and took the doggies walking with me and we went over that "new" pedestrian/bicycle bridge. I was surprised at how much it's already starting to deteriorate after only a couple years. The concrete substructure has sagged and cracked in several places, and crews have obviously patched and repaired it in other spots, and at least a couple orange sawhorse barriers exist to keep people from walking or riding over some of the nastiest spots. Make you wonder about the workmanship, materials, and engineering that went into this multimillion dollar little-used project.
I have actually been out on the tandem recumbent trike a couple times this last month, a far cry from my desired goal of daily riding.
I've just been unable to find time to get on the trikes/bikes and ride with our busy volunteer schedule, and I've been telling myself the only possible reliable time I can come up with is to get up at 5 AM and scoot out the door for whatever length of time I can ride before having to come back, shower, put on decent non-smelly clothes and get to work. Several days ago I actually set my Iphone alarm for 5 AM but have usually slept through it or fogged off back to sleep after hearing it. This morning I heard it enough to wake up, but lazed around for another 20 minutes before finally staggering out of the sack to go riding.
It was, as usual, GREAT to get out and get rolling again, even if it was just before the sun came up. It has been too hot lately to get motivated to ride any later in the day!
Well, today went fine, that is, until I hit the third or so "bone-shaker" wood-splinter surfaced bike bridge the city put in so many years ago and now maintains not at all. When your wheels hit the leading edge of these bridges, it gives a horrible jolt on both ends that knocks things loose from the bike almost every pass, and the chucka-chucka rattle-rattle of the wooden slats as you ride across are just miserable. Many cyclists brave the vehicle traffic and ride on the auto road instead to preserve their sanity and physical well being.
After I jobbled across maybe the third such bridge on today's run, suddenly the trike bogged down, made strange noises in the rear, and I pulled over, thinking I had a flat.
Nothing doing. It turned out one of the mounts for the rear fender had vaporized somewhere along the bridge, and the fender was now dragging inside the rear wheel struts, almost totally jamming the wheel action. I finally found a single nylon ty-wrap in my tool bag and was able to pull the fender out of the way and tie it off sufficiently supported so it no longer rubbed or blocked the wheel.
Of course, this was only at about 1.6 miles into my wonderful ride, and by now the time was far past for me to turn around and get back to the RV and clean up and get to work.
Maybe I'll get lucky, and motivated, and get out for a decent ride tomorrow... EARLY enough to beat the heat and daily showers we're suddenly getting.
