Yesterday I could not ride, as a big chunk of my day was occupied by a trip to the dealer (Jack's) in Dearborn to have a set of TerraTrike's Wide Handlebars put on. I only found out about these last weekend from fellow riders, as a way to alleviate the pain I've experienced by my left thigh scraping across the inside end of the handlebar, constantly reopening the wound that this scraping first visited upon me early in the spring.
The difference to the eye is slight (the top picture here shows the old handlebars, and the bottom picture shows the new ones), but the difference in comfort is IMMENSE, as I was able to ride pain-free this morning for the first time in months.
I rode consecutive round trips to Marsh Park for the first time since gritting my teeth and forcing myself on July 4. This 18.4-mile ride took me 2:24.
A new app I've recently discovered (Relive) shows the ride:
