Helena doing the Madonna imitation Isla, caught in the act of attempted snacking
Two days to go before the MS ride. I went out with Nick and cruised around the old Brunswick Naval Air Station for a couple of hours. The old base was closed down a few years ago and is sort of depressing in its present state. Back in "the day", it had P2Vs and P3Vs (anti-submarine patrol planes) flying around the clock, a full complement of support staff and the requisite Marine complement for security. Progress....
Speaking of progress, here's a view from the cockpit of my latest ride. Real comfy , slightly squirrely and lots of fun. I picked it up last week through Bruce from Ernie's Cycle Shop. One of his customers was selling it and I had just spoken with him about wanting one. Anyway, I told him that my first trial ride was fun, but I felt tippy in it. He told me that I'd be hard-pressed to tip it over and later told me that he'd almost bet me $50.00 that I couldn't do it. Well, I did-not on purpose, but by not leaning right while doing a fast, tight turn. Lost a little skin, had a laugh and now know enough to lean properly.
Today's ride was a real work-out, and I found the reason when I loaded the trike on my car. The left disc brake was pinching the rotor. Fixed it up and I'm planning on doing the 25-miler with the Team on Saturday.
