Good ride on the trike today. Hills are still a slow slog, and I expect they will continue to be for a while longer. I'll be replacing the tires with new slicks and maybe that will help a bit. In the end though, it still comes down to how much my legs can take before cramping or hurting!

The ride home yesterday was longer than usual, as I decided to take a more "scenic" route. At the very end, I accidentally hit a rather nasty uphill, which is difficult enough to climb on a DF, and a total killer on a trike with untrained legs. Yeowch! I had to pull onto the sidewalk for the last bit of the climb.... *shame*

I also really, really need to get a chain cleaner. My chain is currently a greasy mess and I'm sure it is slowing me down.

But, it gets a bit easier each time, so that's good I guess!
