a little update. It's been a few days since I've posted. The parts are getting ordered today to fix Catrike 700. The local bike club had a Memorial Day ride. I chose to do their longest route that was 53 miles. They said it was "rolling hills" but it was mostly uphill and a couple that I didn't think I would be able to make it up but somehow I managed. I cut 13 minutes off of the last 50 mile ride I rode(and this one was 53). Some of the hills were pretty challenging for me. I would try to get as much speed up before hitting the hill and that seemed to do ok for helping me getting over it. Only a handful of times did I have to go to the small front chainring. It seems that I finished mid-pack due to all of the cars still in the parking lot. All in all a good day.
