This morning I went out at 9:30 and rode a single round trip to Marsh Park in a heavy, clammy fog. Still, though, I was grateful for the mild weather that allowed me to ride in 41°-44° conditions on the morning of January 21!
I had hoped to do a longer ride, but was beset by a problem that convinced me to shorten it. My airhorn (which I got last summer) has been kaput for the last few weeks. When I took the trike to Wheels in Motion yesterday to have new tires put on, I asked them to look at the horn, and they said that although air was audibly leaking out, there was nothing obvious, such as a hole in the hose. They speculated that it might be a blown seal inside the horn, and that I'd probably just need to replace it.
Anyway, though, the horn had come loose from its holder, and was hanging over the handlebar in recent days. And during this morning's ride, it slipped off and became entangled in the wheel, ripping the horn from it's hose.
At any rate, I did the 10 miles this morning in 1:12, and though this was neither a good time nor a good distance, I guess the important thing is to keep chipping away at it.
