No rollers so ride a recumbent at the gym. Currently watching old 30's and 40"s movie serials. Loved them on TV as a kit, Gene Autrey and Bob Steele. Classics on UA-cam. Great time killers.
Hi Jeffrey. I never found watching TV or any sort of video while riding indoors would help the time pass for me. Audio books and podcasts work better for me. I just close my eyes and listen.
Well your ispirimg many a folk David, that great we could all use it, and your dealing well with the weather changes. Thanks for sharing Happy Trails.🎀😎
Thanks Paul. Now the rain is back. ☹️
David, you rock! What a gorgeous day for a bike ride.
Thanks Shaun. It was!
Praying for you, David.
Kepp riding and influencing me!
Thanks Gary. I'm not trying to influence anyone. Just trying to show what works for me.
Great job David! You’re such an inspiration, keep up the spirit and strength with good riding, it looks like it’s doing you well.
Thanks Dan. Yep, it definitely severs me well both physically and emotionally.
I’m on the same thing, it’s worst then the kemo Your in my prayers nightly. God bless you and your a inspiration.
Thanks and the same!
Setting a goal really helps. "Keep on Truckin" the way you do.
Thanks Mindy. Good talking to you!
So healthy, therapeutic, motivating to keep setting goals. You're better than I am because I detest riding indoors and can't do it. You truely are an inspiration 👍💪😍
Riding indoors requires an inactive mind and that I've got! 🤣
@@DavidRidesaTrike 😅 I doubt that seriously
@@debbieschwartz3132 Don't bet on it. 😉
@@DavidRidesaTrike 😅😅😅
What a great challenge and way to channel your mind and energy. Best of luck.
I'm very good at competing against myself! And, I always win! 😂
Wow David, you are amazing and inspiring! Hope your scans come out good. I just got into triking and love it.
I have yet to hear anyone say they started riding a trike and didn't love it. It's really hard not to enjoy.And thank you!
You're such an inspiration, David! LOVE your videos!
Thanks Susan. And i love you for the kind words!
Love the whimsical music in the intro!! Hoping for the best news from your new scan. 🙏🙏 🤞🤞
Thanks Don! Scan results were great! All tumors shrinking or at least not growing and no new growths. Best results i could have hoped for!
@@DavidRidesaTrike Super news!! Very happy for you! 😀😀
@@iowa_don Thanks!
A ride always brightens the spirit. Saturday I did my first over 20 mile ride since my accident. You’re great motivation for me. Thanks.
Great! And did you feel okay afterwards?
Best wishes on your DRAT challenge. It’s good to give yourself a target to aim for and keep motivated. I’m pulling for you and looking forward to seeing your results over the 7 days. Rots of ruck on the scan as well. You deserve some good news. Aloha Bruddah
Aloha my brother from another mother! Nothing like being competitive with yourself! Scab results were great! Lesions no longer detectable on my liver or the lymph nodes surrounding my heart and all others have shrunk. No new growths. My reward is two bonus rounds of chemo. WOO-HOO!
@@DavidRidesaTrike eeeiiiihhhaa! (Hawaiian version of Woo-hoo). Bring on the Bonus Chemo. They don’t now who they’re messing with. You da man. You da Bruddah.
@@hawaiiantrike-surfkayak lol, thanks Bob!
What'up,amazing channel!fellow. 😎
Everything is coming up roses! 🌹
Love the challenge idea! Great footage and great to see you doing well. I got out one day _ the day you filmed- but on north branch. Felt pavement better choice with all the rain. Was only able to do about 7 miles due to knee injury but building up for your ride! Seems drier this coming week so you are motivating me to get out even though it’s colder than I like.
Hi Colleen. I love the NBT! I can ride to it but it's about a 9 mile ride just to get there. I usually do it a few times once the weather gets warmer. Today I couldn't even get to the DPRT as the access path I use to get there was flooded.
Good luck David. Setting such a strong goal will give you the motivation and energy to get out every day. Stay positive. I hope your Scan results come back with great results and remission from the disease process. Enjoy the nice weather. Best wishes as always.
Thanks Mark! Giving myself this little challenge definitely got me out there on days when I normally wouldn't be riding. Nothing like being competitive with yourself! 😂
@@DavidRidesaTrike whatever your level of challenge is…..just go for it. The feeling of accomplishment is quite a rush. Stay well. Hope your scans turn out well.
@@markfeldman6509 I agree that the feeling of accomplishment is (almost always) worth it. Scan results were great! Lesions in my liver and the lymph nodes around my heart are no longer detectable, the large one in my right lung went from 16.5 cm to 2.5 and almost all the others have shrunk. My reward is two bonus chemo treatments!
@@DavidRidesaTrike …wow !that is incredible news. All the prayers seem to be helping. Put out a special event video informing everybody of the fabulous outcome. Enjoy the extra bonus treatments to knock,out the rest of the bad stuff.
@@markfeldman6509 Thanks Mark.
It's great that you set a 7 Day DRAT Challenge for yourself. During Spring, it's hard getting 7 straight days in a row of good riding weather. My favorite river trail often floods during the Spring high water episodes.
My Rohloff Speedhub and Wheel arrived and I took my trike in on April 2. Well... They didn't realize that HP failed to ship the shifter and other needed parts. Ugh! My trike will be out of commission for a month this coming Saturday.
On a good note, I did receive my Garmin Varia RTL515 Radar and was able to set up the app. I can hear the alerts through my earbud... Cool!
Hang tough, David. I hope there's good news coming with the scan. 🙏
Hi Tom and thanks! That's such a bummer with the missing parts. Hopefully you'll have it back in time for lots of good riding weather.
Scan results were GREAT! All growths shrunk and no new lesions. My reward is a bonus of two more chemo treatments! 🤣 But that's okay. It all means the chemo's working so doing a couple more rounds is no problem.
That's great news David! Hey... You've handled 6 chemo treatments. What's two more!? 🤣 But really... I'm so glad to hear this.
@@tomboyd9053 Honestly, at this point they just seem like a part of life.
How are you loving your new ride ? I’m 63 with a LOAD of medical issues? Looking at an ICE Adventure e assist set up similar to your toy. Can’t believe the cost but if it helps in The health investment I am all for it. Your videos are an True inspiration for me thank you sir!
Hi David and thanks! The ICE Adventure is in my opinion, a GREAT trike. Yes, it's quite expensive as are all the ICE trikes but I honestly feel it's a case of getting what you paid for. My trike was quite expensive as well but when I bought it I knew I'd have it for years. Plus, I don't own a car so I used that to also justify the purchase.
Your amazing.
Thanks, but I've just had a lot of practice at dealing with medical adversity. 😉
Well you are a inspiration. Love your videos. I’m recovering from shingles the worse case my doctor has ever seen , and he is a old doctor . I rode Saturday , and I couldn’t believe how difficult it was for me. I was riding 1000 miles a year for the past two years. The shingles took 3 months from me, and I’m still struggling. Fun seeing your videos and a inspiration for me as I slowly recover. I hope you ride for many long years. Thanks Dave rides a Trike.
@@conniehoyle2669 Glad you're recovering but I know shingles can be terrible. Hopefully the worst is over. Keep on pedaling. You'll get back into form!
Keep on rockin' it David! You lift all of us up and we are deeply appreciative. Have you ever tried Rouvy with your indoor rollers? The software even has a handbike/recumbent trike set of routes that are beautiful. Looking forward to June 12th!
Thanks! I haven't but I'll check it out. Do you use it? And I'm REALLY looking forward to the 12th. Looks like we've got a good group coming!
@@DavidRidesaTrike I use Rouvy on any bad weather day (my threshold is pretty low for what bad wx is). I use it with my road bike and love it. You can ride all over the world and select the route you want to be on. It is in ultra-high definition and stunning. It allows me to keep my mileage up during the year.
If I don't ride my road bike or trike, my pain levels skyrocket. = I am deeply appreciative to my bike/trike ;-).
Can you tell me the name of the park we are going to be riding in again please? I need to try to schedule a campground for my travel trailer nearby.
From the DRAT ride - I head to the Pine Ridge Reservation to give away bikes, tools, stands and helmets to the indigenous youth. We will also put on a seminar for bike maintenance over the week we are there. Looking forward to June :-).
@@rangerk9 Do you watch it on a laptop?
@@DavidRidesaTrike you can use a smart phone, tablet, laptop and/or a television with Rouvy. I use my computer hooked up to a television. But, any and all can be used.
David, I ride a trike too, although not a recumbent. Just last month (June) I set myself a small challenge -- riding once a day for the first week; my rides only averaged six+ miles a day. After that first week, I just kept going and rode every day in June. Full disclosure: I did miss about six days worth. 😒
I'm sure you met your challenge. Keep riding. 🤜🤛
That's great! And the same to you!
getting out at quarter to 10? I used to do that before I got my "riding partner" Jack. He add's an extra hour to my "get out of the house early for a ride" lol but I don't mind too much. Found another grouping of back streets I was able to add to my ride so broke 24 miles, and I guess my knee's are feeling better I managed to drop an assist level from 3 to 2 only took a 1000 miles lol. Riding is my favorite thing to do so it gets my highest priority except for doctors appointments and grocery shopping lol. Keep Pedaling!
Hi Deryk. I used to get up and ride before going into work. Looking back, I have NO idea how I did that! And yeah, riding is definitely up there with me too.
Ride on! I’m joining you on the 7 day challenge having gotten a nice 15 mile ride done today. We actually hit 50 degrees today which almost shorts weather. Day 1 Done
Great! And yeah, I bet 51 to you is break out the tank top and sandals weather! High 40s around here this week. Still cool for this time of year but eventually we'll warm up. And good luck on y0ur 7-day challenge!
@@DavidRidesaTrike Day 2 Done - 19 miles
@@PedalPushinAK Great!
Day 3 Done - 20 miles
@@PedalPushinAK Good! How's your weather? Here we're going to struggle to make it into the upper 30s. Not horrible, but this time of year the average temp is 64°. I would really enjoy a stretch of mid-60s days.
Hi David, I forgot... do you have pedal assist which would allow you to just use your thumb to fly home if you get tired a long way off ?
I have e-assist but it does require pedaling. There is no throttle so you have to be pedaling.
Does that crushed limestone hurt when it’s wet?
Not sure what you mean. Hurt how?
I heard that when ride on crushed limestone that when it gets wet it turns to cement on your trike and it’s very hard to get off.
@@conniehoyle2669 That hasn't been the case with me. When I get home I usually wipe down the trike and then use a wet rag to get off the rest. But even if I'm in a rush and can't do that and it dries, It comes off easily.
David, what do you have to say about pain(possibly cramps) in the back of my thighs?
Hi Mike. Sorry, but even if I had an idea I wouldn't give or discuss any medical advice. Best to ask a doc or even gry Bentriders forum. There might be others who have experienced the same.
@@DavidRidesaTrike Thanks
