Prees Trice Weekend T2 - An update

We visited Green Lane Farm this morning. They have asked that we provide definite numbers by Sunday 13/06/10 - So if you wish to attend this event and have not yet contacted Pauline, please do so ASAP.  We have been told that due to the limited space available, it is unlikely the campsite will be able to accept more riders after this coming weekend.  Pauline's contact details are directly below.

My Weekly Mileage

This will be in addition to the basic information collected by my ageing cycle computer. At this date, my ICE QNT recumbent tricycle had covered 3,451 miles (5,554 km)

Prees Trice Weekend T2

Please Read Due to circumstances beyond our control, the provisional booking at Wem is cancelled.  Now for some good news!  The venue has been changed to Green Lane Farm at Prees nr Whitchurch and it's cheaper too!  Tents = £13 per night, caravans with electrical hookup = £15 per night (8 of these available).  All other details remain the same.  Showers and loos have been checked and they are very clean - Nothing else onsite.  However there is a hotel, a cafe, a shop, a Post Office, a bakery and Indian food within two miles of the campsite.

I have received a number of comments regarding the cost of camping at Green Lane Farm.  In fact their overnight charges are actually less than the original venue at Wem.  If you wish to book, please contact Pauline at the campsite quoting "Trice weekend" and whether you require electrics...

D.Tek HPV

Yesterday with two friends I visited D.Tek HPV near Ely in Cambridgeshire.  For those of you don't know them, D.Tek is a warm and friendly specialist recumbent dealer run by Kevin Dunseath.  Kevin has lots of knowledge, which is freely given...He also has lots of amazing stuff, both new and used.  In my opinion, D.Tek is well worth a visit.  But please ring first a arrange an appointment: 01353/648177

Veltop...What's it really like? Yet another update!

I've just been told by Cyclo-System that their test recumbent Veltop will be here in time for the Wem Trice Weekend T2.  I really hope this product generates lots of interest amongst recumbent trike riders.  It should be noted that the Veltop is designed to fit many different types of recumbent trike, however the fixing kit provided for my product review will be specific to ICE/Trice machines.

Veltop...What's it really like? Another update

I haven't heard from Cyclo-System in France, so I contacted them this morning.  I've asked that, if possible, a recumbent Veltop be made available for the Wem Trice Weekend T2 on 3/4 July.  It would be great to have a Veltop at Wem for other trike owners to see and try...Who knows, it may even generate sales!  If it is fitted by then, I am happy for other owners to test ride my machine if they wish...

Wem Trice Weekend T2

PROVISIONAL BOOKING CANCELLED
An update - We've been over to the proposed venue this morning and it looks ideal for a Trice event.  We will be staying about 1.5 miles from the small town of Wem, at a campsite called Lower Lacon Caravan Park.  They have showers, a shop, a swimming pool and even hot food!  The place is large, clean and friendly and the staff we talked with were really helpful.  A provisional booking has been made for a 2-night stay commencing Friday 2nd July.  So that they know just how many people to expect, the campsite have asked that we provide numbers within ten days of today (27/05/10) - Please let me know if you are interested.
PROVISIONAL BOOKING CANCELLED

Possible Trice Event

With the help of a friend, I am currently planning a Trice event over the weekend of 3/4 July.  This will take place at a campsite in Wem, Shropshire.

Weekly mileage log

I have decided to try and keep a weekly mileage log.  Hopefully this will start shortly and include maps compiled from GPS data and the occasional picture.  Details of my journeys and any trike maintenance issues I encounter may also be added.  The plan is to travel, almost exclusively, along the many quiet country lanes around my Shropshire home.  My current weekly average is just under 40 miles (64Km) per week.  With good weather just around the corner, will this improve?  You will have to read the blog over the coming months to find out...
