The Blue Magoo

One of the things that I have noticed since retiring is that I don’t move around that much. I do have a job where I deliver convenience store items, and in doing that I do get the opportunity to trek up and down the stairs of many of the Apartment complexes throughout my little section of Phoenix.

That all being said, I still need more exercise. So that brings up all of the options out there. Walking? I hate walking. Especially by myself. And if I am walking I would prefer to have someone with me. Walking is boring.

Running? Me? Running? You go ahead, I am good. When I first came to Phoenix the gyms were all shut down, and I just have no interest in throwing weights around any longer.

So….what to do…..what to do.

Me being me, I started looking around something that sounded like fun. And then I discovered recumbent Trikes. And the search began. YouTube, Google, and bugging friends and family became my hobby. Why recumbent trike? I like the idea that I will not have to worry about my arms, and lower back hurting. I like knowing that I am going to get a nice leisurely aerobic work out.

I like that idea.

Now. Where does The Magoo fit into the overall picture of Chasing My Dragons? I plan to video the places I go. In 2022 the plan is to head to Florida, and then Michigan. I have a couple of trails along the Gulf of Mexico I want to ride, and there are a couple of trails in Michigan. One trail in Michigan is in the Upper Lower near Charlevoix. And then One in the UP.

And from there I don’t know where, but I do know that I am going to end up in Utah riding 12 miles downhill on the Hiawatha Rail Trail. Through train tunnels, and on trestles that straddle gorges as you come down the mountain. Can’t wait.

And I can’t wait to bring to you. Which is what this section is for.

Keep watching for updates……
