Safest place for Sol in a tornado?

The literature seems quite unclear in fact they don't really address where to put a vehicle where it would be the most safe. But it does seem that a lower Place, such as in a courtyard sort of area with higher roof around provide some protection both from the wind which sometimes does not reach down as much, and more from the debris which is the major source of damage or death in a tornado. Currently there is a 30% chance that between about 4 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Saturday there will be tornadoes somewhere in this huge region. So it looks to me combining those factors that if Sol and I can be parked where that pin indicates then Sol would have maximum protection and James could go into the restroom inside the truck stop. Any thoughts?

Constant velocity friction disk change the game. And the minor improvements keep coming. Yes, the knees.

 Constant velocity friction disk which emerged 4 or 5 days ago is the game changer. There is much to learn about it and this post share some of what is being learned. 

Item. It works wonderfully when the buttocks balls are the location of the friction disk. But even better at the knees. The knees, switching there is not a

Turbine more correctly understood.

 An attempt this morning has been to implement speed of roiling To a level of persition That eliminated lopsided thrusting and etc. 

 What has just emerged is that This maybe a combination of several factors when achieved. 

Item. The actual circularity of this closed mechanical system everything from feet locked in

Notes to James. What could be a final cycling log.

 A good journey this 1st several hours. 

What is at play? 

Item. If it doesn't feel Like turbine, if it feels not like turbine In the Pelvic area You're not doing it right. If there is lopsided power within the cycle, too much power, too much attempted power each cycle within the cycle those are all problems. turbine is relatively high rpm a 100 or above and week amazingly so throughout every rotation. 

Item. Roiling. If it does not feel essentially chaotic but rather feels structured in some way you're doing it wrong. Sometimes it feels very cyclical round but that's only in the highest level of coordination it seems but if it feels structured and points each cycle up-and-down each cycle or anything like that it is not turbine it is not roiling. you can do it. 

 Yesterday was not badd But nor was it great. The focus that James had was on feeling all energy on the premium roiling on the premium which previously weeks ago had been really really useful. It wasn't bad but nor was it particularly helpful. But also days ago the fact that something does rotate the  joints down in the buttocks they do rotate there's no other option when that was brought to mind and Gently helping those roll forward and back The other points including those above became possible and began to fall into place. Incidentally. The metrics are not huge this journey this morning but acceptable very acceptable. 220 230 240 with little or no attention most of the time required. Auto pilot. 

Item. The use of PID envelope on this mildly rolling road is really helpful. Particularly in as much as it at allows us to be on auto pilot. 

Item.  what about spaghetti legs? That was really really a euphoric encounter several days ago per the log But yesterday and today It was not at all in the thinking Which isn't to say that it was not in place It probably is but achieved with the points above better than bringing spaghetti legs directly to mind. If James were to guess the big thing is grasping what is not easy to bring to mind the next day that Being turbine Is absolutely instrumental.

Item. Equalibrium, constant speed buttoxball roiling.

Cycle, roll, roil the buttocks balls James. Just that. Repeat....

Feel them rolling, cause them to freely and gently roll totally independent of the cranks and whatever resistance it provides. 

 In clarity this strikes James as a totally new thing. It is a extremely close relative of the checking in that he realized was so important and then forgot, realized several months ago and practiced for quite a while. Checking in for a while anyway achieve the

Yes, James, be a turbine. Profoundly weak each revolution stronger collectively at speed. Dec 14

It has been days since a log has been reported and much has transpired but all in line with the previous posts . 

 It may be that this morning, or late in yesterday's journey, .... That Turbine showed up again. 

Why did it show up because a very good day or so ,

The most important contribution from James?

After all these years this is the current checklist that James has arrived at to optimize his service, his Joy, his service, his Joy, his service....
Click each photograph for higher resolution.

2 things you are allowed James. A sense of operation on the premium 1", and a sense of impelling 1" away from the Brennan into roiling motion. Dec 11

 The last 3 days have been in part an experiment with a new electrical configuration of sol. Mentioned earlier the PID feedback control loop has been employed with the purpose of automatically applying throttle and/or E breaking so that James could be free of the need to control those things.

***** James holy Grail of cycling? Could be.

 On the Perineum, within an inch, roiling rolling boiler immediately and always and only. 

A hard narrow disciplined taskmaster and superior to everything else found. 

And similar to many of the best times yet experienced. 

 Item. Roiling rolling boiler only exists, only, only

A better day saul and I never have had. Scrambling To maintain tight relationship with the scrambling knees scrambling to maintain a relationship with the scrambling petals.

Is not an attempt at a word salad here. These words are pretty descriptive of the best day sol n I have ever had. All it would seem due to the concept of scrambling. 

 Over the years James has come close to this kind of productive day with saul And that it was the absence of the concept that scrambling is the ideal

Cycling. Why can't I just have a normal boyfriend?!?! Dear, they don't exist.

 James, if you are looking for a normal way to move sol , or the 400 pounds of you and soul that you move every day for between 4 and 8 hours, if you are looking for a normal sane relaxed understandable way of doing that, well, it doesn't exist. 

And this for the last 5 or 6 days is what you had

A day from hell. It did not kill us. Though it tried. We grew.

For the first four hours today James knew absolutely nothing about how to move this vehicle, he was exhausted, his body is sore, it was immensely frustrating.
Rear drive tire tube exploded twice within 5 MI. The second time upon closer examination it was seen that the impossible has happened. The extremely rugged Tire bead had separated show the tube was poking out and exploding. 3 hours lost repairing all this. Not sure why the tire failure but several theories. Too much weight on that tire. The horrible roads on that first day in Arkansas. Rim damage which may have caused cutting of the tire bead, damage from when so had to be rolled a mile and a half into the truck stop a week ago. But we are still on schedule for crossing the Mississippi On Wednesday. Some of the pressure for meeting that day is that Thanksgiving traffic is almost upon us.

Saul has been in creator's hands all day.

What an odd conception for someone that does not believe in a sentient creator.

There is low grade anxiety all day. James determined that the best plan was to leave

Completely relaxed torso. Sack of potatoes. Big extra points.

This seems to be the new number 1. 1. Completely relaxed torso. To. Egg beater perinium. That's sort of it today and this is been a excellent cycling day. Sustainable, enjoyable, very

If at first you don't succeed, stands, slime, again. Repeat.

At the present no time to proofread the following.

There are five tires on this wonderful vehicle. One of them is a relative nightmare when a tube needs to be replaced, the rear drive and Brake wheel because it is within the trailer harness and there are other complications of wiring and Cetera for its motor. It is at best a 2 hour and 15 minutes

Egg beater, James, be it, don't do it, be it.

Very important post yesterday of important new discoveries. Good journey so far today that taught an important subtlety. It is being the egg beater with the legs not the much more obvious to James nervous system of doing the egg beater with

10/16. Luke, use the seat! Use the seat!

Maybe 5 days ago is a post That was extremely important speaking of the absolute benefit of taking the seat, planting in the seat, staying in my seat. And yet for the last several days

***** Perineum ball joint, ball bearing, the center of everything. October 15. Solar RV cycling blog.

 James is a bit worried that he will not capture why he has become a cyclist again. It has been too long since he has created a log and conscious competence may have gone

***** October 7th. rule number one, plant your Perineum. 2. Repeat. 3. Every moment that is necessary.

Such a simple gigantic evolution and combination. 

So much of the last year has been James' body fighting itself. 

Some of that fighting, maybe much, maybe most, has been the body desperately seeking a place to work from, a place to fight from, a center. And left to its own devices it goes for the pedals. Maybe this is not unlike running where somehow the ground  becomes a center to work from. A platform, a base. 

Be that as it may.  

Beginning a week or so ago the perinium, that 3 or 4" bit of tissue in the crotch became apparent . And attention to it helped a lot. But just yesterday it came to greater clarity. Plant it James 1st thing you do and the 2nd and the 3rd and repeat, plant it. 

This happens automatically peddling a conventional cycle. But for James in this recumbent nothing automatic about it. 

Nor does the body fight it or dislike it. 

Nor does the body do it intuitively or easily remember it without some vigilant reminding. And monitoring. This is a wonderful development. 

It is hugely liberating of the legs in an odd sort of way. It lets them flail, flap, spin. All dangerous words but the best I can think of at the moment. There is no less power or sustainability than anything else James has attempted and probably 30% more available raw power and absolutely sustained. This is not a gimmick anymore than sitting on a hard narrow conventional Leather bike saddle was a gimmick for James in all his developmental years as a kid. But in this recumbent and probably any recumbent achieving the same  biomechanics, the same physical situation requires some imagination and vigilance.

***** October 3rd period James, stay in your conventional hard leather bicycle saddle, participate, not control, participate, from there.

important insights. 

By the way, this vehicle does not have a conventional hard leather bicycle saddle. But It is essential to high power high performance efficient sustainable cycling that we live as though we do. And we can. And we do, except when we forget. 

For James at least the apparent fact is that this recumbent and maybe every recumbent, definitely this recumbent, invites James into what turns about to be a horrible fantasy world where there are all sorts of ways to operate other than from this imaginary Hard narrow Leather conventional bicycle seat. And they are all horrible sacrifices of everything that a cyclist would want. 

And when it is remembered which is usual now, when it is brought to mind almost instantly James settles in and it automatically solves a host of sins and automatically brings a host of virtues. For the sins one can look at just about any log from a month ago to a year ago. 

The specific virtues Are basically what any  good conventional cyclist would never even give a thought to. Sitting hard in that seat without ever thinking about it, the lower extremities need to operate around that seat, it is in a way the center of the universe that is just taken for granted. 

Well, who would ever think that anatomically that's a mistake? It is not. But for James in 24000 miles over 4 years in this vehicle it never remotely presented itself clearly until the last week. There were hints all the way. There were approximations all along the way through it but only in the last 2 weeks  the subject line above present itself. 

 And the Notion of participating which came Maybe a month ago as a tremendous advantage, participating as opposed to Iattempting to control the speed and momentum of the vehicle, we are 12000 .... But it is incredibly tempting for James to deny the reality particularly after A-day of really good performance. It is totally not willful but there are reflexes that just say go and control it he did yesterday. We never did! .... But so far the notion of 'participating' near instantly dissolves the horribly destructive delusion that we can control saul. We can't. But goodness can we make a big contribution if we merely sit on that seat and attempt to contribute. Attempt to participate 

These last 5 days have been in a city environment meaning stop and go. Not a dense city but stop and go all the weeks prior with few exceptions were open road. 

City environment, stop and go, it turns out is extremely seductive of all the wrong inclinations, leaning forward instead of shoulders back and chin tucked, and leaning forward as opposed to serious deliberate reclining of the shoulders invokes all the wrong reflexes in all the wrong muscles. See prior posts. The 1st idea brought to mind that helped to put things back in order was James, participate, don't try to control the vehicle, you can't. This moving from a stop at a stop light not wanting to hold up traffic, for example. But then, Stay seated on that saddle, and then everything began to really work well again. 

And the metrics we deliver are almost unbelievable. On everything less than a 4% or greater incline we are Carrying, James is carrying At the least 20% of this 1200 pounds payload. And James weighs 160 pounds. And more typically on flat ground in a no wind situation He is Carrying at least a 3rd and sometimes half of the 1200 pounds.
