Daily Challenge 5: Going Postal

I took a short ride this morning, just down to the post office and back. I'd hoped that the new issue of my indie writer magazine, Exposed Monthly, would have arrived, but it wasn't there. The issues are available free online and as e-books, or in print from MagCloud. I'm working on getting all of my books out in print as well as updating them with new original art.

My new pedals arrived yesterday! This weekend I plan to get the trike up and running again! That'll be fun!

Brakes Fixed

I'm gradually learning how to deal with more mechanical issues on the trike. Today I replaced the brake cables that had gotten so filled with junk that you couldn't even pull the cables out of the housing. New housing and cables and then the brakes work. I think they could still be adjusted better, but they work so much better now! Went for a short ride around through town to try them out. I need to get the chain a little tighter, it bounced off twice, but otherwise everything works great.

Now that I can ride again I plan to increase my mileage on the trike by commuting more regularly. If I'm not riding the trike I'll go for a run. One way or the other I plan to get out each day.
