the wind dropped at about six today
so went out for a quick 30mile about halfe way around the gears started messing about
, flipping anoying when they do that, it throws you all out of your rithem.
despite dismounting* and threatening the trike with a sound thrashing
the problems persisted for the rest of the ride.
so tomorrow is tinker time again

First guess is a frayed cable inner. Don't let finding and solving this little problem stop you thrashing the trike. QNT are into Sadomasochism thrash it and it will respond!

new cable fitted this morning along with a extra link in the chain, 
the one i have on now is put together well it was a five profanity word job getting a pin out!
and three putting one back in
; next time i will just use a bit of string to hold the chain together.
there are some very odd things some pepole do with there trikes
the least pervers of which is liking them
the spud should be done for some of the thing he has done
i will not relive them here as some people my be having there tea
but i still shuder when i think about some of them
all went well on the ride if a bit on the slow side with a chill wind
, i believe the q is slower than the cat in windy conditions, the hilly circuit and heavy q would account for a lot of that but the recline on the cat speed will make a difference.
i am glad i did some shake down rides on the q just to keep it ticking over
gosh the sun kissed
island beachess shure look good now

Yo Cosimino,
again tha' mastery of both mechanicalism and physiology
has left us lesser unwashed in awe.
I understand that NASA are advertising for astronauts.
Will you be volunteering, before we put tha' name down?
Tha' could go far, some might say the further the better.

I thought the assembled clan would like this.
The SBGG at ease at Wooler this year. Note the NHS issued immobility device and the Sun Bronzed 'high forehead' If it gets any higher his back will have no hair on it.

quick get drunk.
it is a well known treatment for trboscpic vision.
photograph of me are rare, the unsigned ones are collectables.
i gave the trike a miss today as the weather was crap, driving rain cold wind and a mild case of laziness.
the first twenty feet of a ride are the hardiest, from my reclining arm chair to the back door.
when i get going on the trike i very quickly get to the correct operating temperature and with judicious use of buff, jackets and glovers can regulate my temperature quite well.
it was a lot colder on a df i can still feel the cold in my bones when i think about those 3am rides.

Yo Cosmionaut,
tha's the very pinnacle of the evolutionary pyramid and obviously the next dominant
subpecies; Homo recumbentis.
Spud has recently finished a correspondence course in cloning and tissue culture.
We are primed, send
cells, there may be mutations.

I thought that had already happened and that's why we had the SBGG! I was blaming poor spud. I'll still blame him, he deserves it.
