The current plan to Yakoma, WA, leg 1. 30 mi/ day.

Generally, the plan for the next three months currently is something like this.

Titanic was doomed not when it hit the iceberg, but long long before when not enough sanity existed to stop the blind race across the ocean.

Solar RV cycling blog July 26th. Lay down, roll down, your thighs underside every inch of the trip. As gently as needed.

Moving toward the level of natural feeling of the heavy travel a year-and-a-half ago. Barely two-thirds of the power, but that may come, and it really doesn't matter. We are getting older. And it is not a time when extreme travel everyday is required.
All of the recent principles are being born out.
However, they are acting as stepping-stones stones toward what James is thinking is a higher level of Performance, Based on the current feel, and based on the relationship of this to some very good old Friends.
As per the subject line of this post, the best mental model today is to lay down the thighs, roll down the thighs, every inch of the trip. This helps achieve using the size as the power, and they invite a coordinated up list of the other leg in a useful fashion that has not been happening for quite a while.
Another quite useful idea which appeared and then disappeared several months ago, is to try and be as tired at the beginning of the journey as at the end. Yes. This at times invokes a level of relaxed cycling, without wasting energy on circinus.

Thu 26th

Plan for today is to reach the post office in Bridgeport, all downhill. Retrieve some packages that were forwarded. And then continue West Northwest about 10 miles to a resting spot for the night.

Saving the planet from Global extermination, hopeless. Handing some notion of goodness to the survivors, worth our lives.

Solar rv cycling log July 24th. James, you want to disable the lower legs? Remove any doubt they may have that your thighs are doing the job every inch.

Over the years disabling the the lower legs to keep them from interfering with the thighs has probably required more attention, been more distracting, than anything. 

Just this morning The subject line idea emerged. And it could well be the answer. When the feet ankles and calves are trying to get involved it may be a sure sign that the thighs are not doing 100% of the job. and the  lower legs will try to fill the gap. James, don't leave any gaps. 

this could be huge. 

All important lessons of the last 8 months, the last 3 years, And yesterday, all are playing a role today. This maybe one last important piece coming into place.

Solar RV cycling log July 23. More theories?!? What?!?

This is freaking crazy! No, all of the prior theory should not be thrown out! Maybe they each have a place. What the hell is going on this morning? An

Solar rv cycling blog July 22nd. Total warning!

Best guess today is that almost all of the logs of the last 8 months Have been very good, if one wants to make the best of a faulty body mechanics model. I'm not sorry for James, but for anyone seriously following I am concerned. 

Although there are times in the last 8 or 9 months where James has Suddenly realize that this is a recumbent bicycle, It seems that never was that fully grasped, and never held on to. 

Point being, The fatal flaw has been, James thinks as of this morning, Lack of crystal clear clarity that All energy Need be directed 70ﾟ forward. Exactly as a cyclist would be directing energy straight down. 

James, you have spoken of this in the past! In approximate terms, yes. Fully grasping it, clearly grasping it, as is happening right now, maybe never, maybe not in the last 8 months, maybe not in all the years with this vehicle. 

 Maybe this post today is all a mistake. Doesn't seem possible. 

Also doesn't seem possible that it has taken James 3 or 4 years with this vehicle to grasp this now. Be that as it may, that seems to be the case. 

It cannot be disputed that the position of the cyclist in this vehicle is rotated approximately 70ﾟ backwards. Therefore, if a traditional cyclist is directing the force of each stroke Directly downward, then it is certainly appropriate that the cyclist in this vehicle direct all force 70ﾟ forward. 

That was done yesterday, and so far this morning. And it is a fairly Significant evolution, and maybe profound. 

The following has only one data point, but it is extremely interesting. For the last several weeks An application and watch fit bit have been employed. For many months James has calculated his energy input As a multiple of what the torque sensor reports, 3.6 being the multiple that translates Human W into calories. Most days this fitbit application that calculates calories based on heart rate elevations from resting, has reported considerably higher calories than the calculation 3.6 ×  torque sensor registered watts. 

The observation here maybe an aberration. And in several days there will be more data points. But the initial thought is that by lacking any clarity that the direction of energy must be 70ﾟ forward, much energy has gone into the last part of every stroke being downward, maybe 40ﾟ. If this was substantially wasted energy then it makes sense that although James has been putting X amount of energy into the crankshaft that much more energy has been expended, an additional 10, 20, 30% has been expended, wasted, in a last 2nd downward motion. Will be intere sting to see. Seems unlikely that this is not the case.

It is unbelievable, technique for James can not and will not settle down! this is unbelievable! 

New insights. That is a good thing! after years of doing this? F****** crazy!

Protect re-ignite soul log July 19th. Moralize. Moralize! that's it! Moralizing is what we have failed to do!!!

 Haven't we systematically and overtly made moralizing out of bounds? Poor taste? Something that decent people don't do? What the fuck's? And if we had treated cancer the same way, our physical health the same way?   The results would have been what? 

The results would have been Infinitely less dire than they planetary extinction that now we are Completing. 

Utter fuckings insanity. Were we taken over by some species , some aliens from space That saw this as a cheap and easy way to extinguish us? Showing the notions of this insanity that what is off bounds is the most essential for survival? Moralizing? Achieving for ourselves individually and collectively An acute expert sense for what is moral for the species? Ecocide, our own extinction, is the Obvious, unavoidable result of this insanity. 

James for one will redouble his efforts To do what moralizing he can, heath producing he can, within himself, and thereby, possibly with the one in a million, for the joy it will produce for both.

Solar RV cycling blog July 17th. Subtract lower leg energy from forward energy! Subtract all jerking energy from forward!

These items in the subject line have been pointed to four weeks and longer but now they are clear.

Subtract every tiny bit of energy in the lower legs from forward movement. Glad about that?

Jerk and tug and poke and prod all you want. The horse is in the motor only know how to respond to firm and smooth pressure. Knock yourself out.

Put that lower leg energy, and the jerking, into the forward movement! It's nice.
