Ms Susan, the Truck Stop owner, had two wonderful stories.
Sometimes you get really really really really fortunate.
Today and the next two or three days are very very limited son. In many situations this is a nightmare for James and Saul, where to stay without becoming unwelcome? But here just to the north of Mount Washington there is a plethora of places to stop along the highway and it's beautiful, noisy was traffic, but it will be quiet at night. Sometimes we get lucky, or maybe sometimes Creator gets tired of being such a f****** a******.
Cycling, it's even better than I was thinking. The motherload.
Oh my goodness, a hundred times before you said this James. Yes. And each time before seemed like the highest peak, only to see a higher Peak ahead. About half-a-dozen video logs of today Envy photo archive accessible at the upper right here, the world as James sees it.
Highlights inclide:
* the nature of James energy contribution must be squishy because that's the physics of the crank sweet spot.
* The Sweet Spot is 10 until 2 with the outbound besides dump, and it is impossible for that leg to do the necessary job without extraordinary support from the uprising leg, the returning thigh and thigh stump.
* on a trike, that the majority of the time is listening to the right because of the way roads are crowned and the shoulder, the left leg has a vastly more difficult job to do than the right leg. Having said that the uprising right leg is really the stroke position, by way of analogy to rowing, for the whole operation.
* the job of the uprising leg is absolutely essential so that the commencement of the squeezing is at 10, that cannot be done by the outbound leg without 90% of the positioning being done by the inbound leg. Impossible.
* for all but the highest degree of difficulty, it is essential to maintain constant velocity of leg, machine, Gering, so that the body has a constant consistent problem to solve.
* the recovering, Uprising, right leg is probably the most important of all because it sets the timing and placement for everything else. The second most important is the left leg which has the most difficult job on the outbound because of the crown of the road. It has to lift so much higher. James had thought the attempt for years now of the legs to be asymmetrical was a problem, and it was he and his misunderstanding that was the problem. They have different roles.
* as just described, it's the right leg does its job, and the left leg then does its job, it seems very likely that the outgoing right leg will do its job and the uprising left leg too will do its job, they follow the first two.

Cycling. Cathy was right, holy grail has not yet Escaped..... for four years James has look for leverage the wrong place getting at the extremes of crank arm travel the middle, mechanical Leverage is in the middle.

had I thought one thing four years ago everything would have been different. Had I thought where the hi leftridge of the crank arm arm was everything would have been different. Am I the only one that has made this mistake? Entirely possible.The Amish vegetable man, Jan.
Oh, and at the very end James mention to Dan, for years I tried to stop the Armageddon I tried to get in his way and what that taught me was we're not going to wake up we are not going to stop at that left me with a question will change what do you want to do? The answer that came to me was, you're going to do what you can to stir a soul so that they can find joy in the material Armageddon anyway. Dan's reflexive reply which was genuine was, that's all any of us can do.

Cycling. To dream The Impossible Dream. The Holy Grail has been achieved.
Will it be here tomorrow? Tomorrow Will Tell. And the next day.... But it was here today. The ability, as on a conventional bicycle, for James body and soul to deliver all the energy that it knew it had to give, efficiently, effectively, reliably. 3 years ago this occurred for a brief period in time in Iowa, and then was lost. But today it was back. No, really. And James thinks he understands why it was working.
The torque sensor metrics for James were throttled back 70% and now are deemed to be reliable. 326 human watts was seen today, 220 was not rare. 180-200 was regular. This is 50% beyond what was ever seen before the metrics were recalibrated when each has adjusted for the other. Point being today James was able to Output hugely more, contribute, hugely more, then before. Ever since Iowa. This is very satisfying, because it was so simple. So mentally and physically simple.
And segment after segment dozens of times within 30 seconds James was able to re implement the strategy, the technique. Never since Iowa 3 years ago.
For James does it matter in the scheme of things? No, and yes. What matters is James is trying to stir a soul here or there and occasionally this Voyage seems to create such opportunities. But cycling 4 5 6 7 hours a day, if he can repeat tomorrow what occurred today as maybe he can, the mental and emotional drain is a fraction of what it has been ever since Iowa three years ago. Cumulatively that's a lot of time energy and attention freed up.
And personally, which doesn't matter, it's been three years since James had a personal relationship like that of a conventional cyclist where he could do what he could do and not be constrained by feeling totally uncoordinated. But today that relationship returned. Tomorrow?
