John Jackson "just felt like ridin"

On March 7th John Jackson packed up his Catrike Expedition and left his home in West Sacramento. because he "just felt like ridin". He headed to the Pacific Coast and then headed South along the coast and eventually made a left turn and is currently in Texas. Click here for his "Nova Trike and The Flying Scrotchy" journal on Crazy Guy On a Bike (CGOAB). Check it out, it's a good read filled with pictures.

Climbing with the Expedition

I took the Expedition out today without Betzi to get some climbing in. The low gears on the Expedition are better for climbing hills while still breaking in the new hips. Slow and steady was the plan for the day. I'm good with  moderate hills but I found out that the steep grades, no matter how short, are still not a good idea for right now.

I forgot how much fun it is to ride the he Expedition without the added weight of a trailer and a dog. In the past almost every one of my rides on the Expedition has been with Betzi in tow. Without her extra weight the Expedition can really move.

A stop at the park for a lunch break.

Travel Break

I took the family up to Cambria for a little beach time on the Central Coast. I left the trikes at home to give the new hips a break from pedaling.

Pic Of The Day

Riding my trike is as much fun as being a 7 year old playing in a park. Actually it may be more fun judging by the way kids eyes seem to pop out when I ride by.
