Took a Break, Rode the Trike

Today's Spotty Tracking

Jacque and I have been helping a dear friend move from the East Mountains into a retirement home in Albuquerque all this week.  Thus we've been getting lots of bending and lifting exercise but not the fun kind.
Thursdays are our days to work in the Albuquerque Temple, but our shifts begin after noon, so I did my normal 10-mile ride as a nice break from loading furniture and boxes.
Nothing of interest happened along the way except that, as usual, it was great to be out with the wind in my face again.
I'm slowly getting braver on this Catrike Road, and may have set a new speed record on it sailing downhill with a tailwind.  Like most trikes with 2 wheels in front, it has a bit of oversteer and is touchy at speeds over 25 MPH.  Usually I ride the brakes a bit going downhill to avoid too-high speeds, but I find with a light touch on the steering handles it does OK, so I hit 35 MPH this time and did not suffer any problems.  No roll bars on these thiings, don'tcha know....
