Greenspeed GTT recumbent tandem trike

I am now on the dark side.

Saturday 11th Feb

I have to admit the last few rides I have been suffering with knee Problems and pan in the legs

So much so I was beginning to think that it was just too much for me!

However on talking to the experts I lengthened the leg fitting on my Ice sprint to just longer than on a my two wheeled Bike, although I was not having problems in the sprint I felt that I was getting more power threw to the back wheel, so I lengthened the Greenspeed to Mach my sprint again just longer then the two wheeled bike.

After today’s ride which was only around 38 miles but what a different!! No pain in my knees

Or the mussels, the shift have altered what part of the leg muscle is being used back up the leg from the knee, an excellent result really pleased.

It seems over the 1000 miles we have done on this tandem my leg muscles have developed as I now ride only trikes and I have not ridden a Bike in over 9 months, I commute every day in my Ice spring around 6 miles each way and most weekend I am on the Greenspeed, plus during the summer I did tour around Kent on the sprint, the leg muscle have changed. Interesting I am tempted to try a long ruin on my Thorn Shaper 26” to see what’s changed but not till the better weather.

But I think I have trike legs Know I am now part of the collective I have been assimilated, resistant’s is futile. I am now on the dark side.

Saturday 11th Feb

15th Jan My wife gets upset if I stay in !!!

15^th Jan, another Cold start but as yesterday the sun was out, but it was a little damp.
So if you where not pedalling the cold would creep in to you.
Nice ride went straight up into London, for breakfast near the London eye then down and over tower bridge the shard tower is looking more and more like a blew megaphone! Or if it had a point at the top a large rocket, or it could be a very large ice-cream cone complemented by the wok up on the river.
Both quite mamzing buildings really But the shard looks yet another megalith to Growth and wealth, I wonder if one day growth stops and they will say its all grown up now, so we can all take part in the wealth instead of suffering cuts to create something most of us never really take part in? However no Videos or photos as it was a normal London run with all the normal stops for Tea and cake. The Greenspeed went rather well wheel not working fine, stayed free.
Stirring is running well after the strip down and greasing., Yester day found the bottom S&S coupling had come undone! Must ICQ more often. All in all another great day with no problems, mind you Adrian the Capitan was not as sharp with the gearing to day as Yesterday! 7 out of 10 to day I would say on over all preferment’s, could do better, however it was made up by buying the coffees.
Looks like we are out next week as well, he may well have a pass to come out to play again from his wife, my wife gets upset if I stay in !!! strange that ?

14th Jan 2012 9am 3 Degrees at least no Ice on widescreen!!

Adrian ( Capitan ) Heeded off to Richmond Park, as the Tandem had not been there before.
Nice crisp sunny day, really good cycling day sun out all day.
Total trip miles 37 Miles, not bad legs good, had to do a few touch ups at Home, painted the bottom of the frame where we bottomed out last Saturday, it was not to bad as it had not broken the pain only the surface, then deserved bottom S&S coupling was not tight! Then played around with right wheel again as it was still not right, however I think I have it now as it running as free as the right one now, will have to see what its like after to Sunday ring tomorrow.
