It bike out a spin down Riverside Drive and have a few thoughts...
1. Bike is fast enough w/o wearing my aero helmet.
2. Final bike weight, without food/water comes in right at 52lbs.
3. Decided to take two chargers and both lithium batteries though there's a weight penalty in there.
4. I'll count on getting a good night's sleep tomorrow night and not tonight.
Note: Some of my postings the past four months have refered to on-going stomach pains that never seem to go away. I kind of wrote it off as just stress going to my stomach. Fatigue and slight sore throat have plagued me along with the stomach pains?
Well, this past Monday I went in again to see the doctor and they ran some test. Tonight, the Dr. left a voice mail at 5pm...didn't retreive it untill 8:45pm...and said I had H. Pylori bacterial infection in my stomach. It's an extremely stubborn to get rid of and requires a cocktail assortment of drugs...PrevPac to knock it. The good news...we've identified the problem.
The bad news...there isn't a pharmacy in the valley that had it in stock. Also, the price? In the neighborhood of $200-400. What willl probably happen is Carol will have to drop ship it to me. We think Hamilton, Montana, will be the spot.
Here's a few pics of the bike. It's coming together.
After the pic was taken below I modified the entire luggage section of the bike.
Sweet! Looks great John. Really excited for you. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great, Rocketman! I'm semi-familiar with H Pylori. Make sure you take all your drugs for it - it can be pretty serious, especially if it goes untreated.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you get lots of rest!
