Aug 24 - Sep 1

Our short summer is coming to a close it seems which means winter is coming but our Northwest 2024 trip is coming too.

Only one change to our trike setup for this trip.  I opted to remove the chain tube system that comes on the ICE trikes and replaced it with a T-Cycle double idler which has already resulted in less noise and smoother shifting.  It will also make the removal and reinstallation of the chain before and after packing much easier.

T-Cycle replacement idler … no more chain tubes, no more chain tube noise and rubbing

We do have several signs of the changing seasons … the birds begin their southward travels and the leaves begin to drop off.  This year seems to be right on schedule and it is always a challenge to see if all the leaves fall before the first snows which are probably only 3-4 weeks away.

Fresh pavement and falling leaves.
