Ive decided on the pet name of Tandy for the lovely new machine, which is a doorway into getting around in a way I could never do walking.
It's very challenging when we build up speed and go for an up ramp where we maybe have to go off the path and cross over a bridge to cross the river Trinity.
You know when you stand up on the peddles and pull at the handlebars, and you use every ounce of strengh to get as far up as you can.
Half way up a rough grassy steep bank we usually stop where the path runs out and dismount ( we have to lift Tandy over a low fence(well I do very little actually, the skipper does most of the work)
But my task is just to balance and walk over the bridge... easy... peasy... I hear you say.... Nuh!
First of all I am so dizzy especially after the extreme effort of the last few moments, second of all I am on a slope that I should wear crampons for. Well if I do fall and tumble down the slope , at least I have a helmet on!
I'll get used to this.... I have done it 1/2 a dozen times now
The pleasures far outweigh the difficulties and anyway non ABI folk will never understand, It's just my self driven task to get on with it!
