Show us your.......newbie progress!

[SpokeyDokey]

I'm back and with my speed I think I qualify as a newbie... certainly a newbie to recumbent trikes... 2 miles in 30 minutes! Can I come back to the thread please?
not going to set the world on fire, but with 2 partially paralysed legs and a bad back I am definitely back in the newbie

My ride today....

Better than nothing! Onwards and upwards.

Can I have the secret of turning back time please as I see you are a maiden again.

Lol............Do you want to be a maiden too?

Wouldn't mind turning the clock back a few years too. Currently feeling more like 75 than 55

It's all that jogging you are doing, it is very bad for you.

It's a whole lot cheaper though and no filthy drivetrain that sounds like a bucket of rusty nails after every ride through the puddles and road grit. Seriously thinking about becoming a fair weather cyclist and running more to be honest.

How's the wrist healing - ok? Still in pain?

Not to bad thanks getting some movement back now wouldn't like to chance it though out on the road as yet (Potholes etc).
Hopefully be back on it in around 2 weeks

Glad its not just me that can hear it. Though I liken it it to grinding paste.

2nd ride on the trike today. Double the distance this time to a lofty 4 miles! I'm not sure what my average is, but I might just consider turning back on the auto pause option to improve it a touch.

4 miles in 40 minutes including getting the trike out. I can't explain to anyone what the sense of freedom is like after 4 months of only seeing a max of 400-500 metres from my home unless on my back on a stretcher! Great fun if a little slow!

Usual ride to me ma's then a circuitous way home. Wore the shorts for the first time in 2015 however it was VERY windy. Still, the legs felt unusually good and the segment list shows it! Bravo for spring!!

24.3 miles @ 13.47 mph av' with 1774' climbing and half a mile of boggy Bridleway (a mix of mud and horse crap I think).

Windy day, sun out (novelty) - enjoyed the ride (another novelty).

Spent relaxing hour getting muck off of the bike plus squirting bike lube everywhere as well as dolloping on lumps of bike grease here and there.

Smashing!

Thanks it is so great to be out again. My aim is every morning. Let's see how long that works! Almost done every morning on for, so might just manage it on the bike, sorry trike! But by heck, I feel like a newbie again!
