I made a 4 hour trip on the bus to donate blood Wednesday, and found out why I'm still so slow in spite of all the work I have been doing to improve my power: I'm still anemic. No blood in my blood. Geritol candidate. This is getting real old now, but at least my counts are holding steady and at a higher number than I had at the 2007 HHH (18 Hcrit). So, I can rip the cages off cheap pedals, and bend cranks, but I don't have the hematocrit to keep up the effort. I guess the drag racing trike is going to be the only racing vehicle I ride.

I'm still working on it The design right now is a low-racer unicycle with a trailer, and trying to get a stable geometry that won't go wonky on me at high speed. I'm working mainly on the inclination of the steering axis between the unicycle and the 2 wheel trailer.

Just lines on a cad screen at the moment. There's a stability tester on the web that weeds out the worst of the wonky setups  that I have tested (I'm going from a steering axis inclination of zero to 90) trying to find something that steers and is stable at all speeds. I tested one in the steel with a 90 axis that worked fine below 10 MPH and was totally unridable by 15. I mean that thing was evil and would try to jacknife with a twitch of a shoulder muscle. One of the reasons I'm building a trike in the first place was to make a self-launching streamliner (fairing after I make a stable and fast bare vehicle).
 
And in the meantime I have to work on why I'm anemic, again (still?).
