HiYa Rbenters,
Two newbie trikers here. Mike & Helene Bolline from Ovilla. We saw an EZ-3 delta trike over at John’s in Lancaster and that started our journey. Went to Austin “just to look” the day before the HOT. After hours on the net, I was lusting after a Catrike trail or a Terra Trike Tour. Low down, sleek & sexy. Helene on the other hand was looking for easy, not much effort and didn’t want to go fast enough to frighten. Hill climbing isn’t her thing.
I tried the Catrike Trail and since I’ve been 70 laps around the sun, found out I couldn’t get out of it. You sit
in a trail and sit
on a Rover or Rambler. Made a huge difference in the knees.
So we came home with two new Terra Trike Ramblers. Went out for a test ride that night –short and pleasant right in front of the house.
The next day however………………………. Different story. We rode around the neighborhood (3 miles for her), and I decided to run over to I-35 and back. 10 miles on the second day. Can you say leg cramps???
Now we’re bike or should I say triking, around Ovilla trying to get in shape. Looking to go on some trail rides this spring and our neighborhood rides give us a chance to run the Greys (see pic)
We decided not to attend the HOT because we knew we had to build up legs muscles but want to go next year.
Recumbents… What a nice way to enjoy the outdoors.
Like riding your LazyBoy.
