A Trikke Fitness Scout's Work is Never Done!


Whew! A great Trikke riding day spent hunting down ideal locations for Trikke Fitness Trikkers! I would say we spent 3 hours, exhilarating workout sweat, and way too much gas looking for ideal locations! Today we focused in on the Wade Avenue to Blue Ridge Road Area of Raleigh. First, we rode up and down Ridge Rd. from Wade to Lake Boone Trail. This ride earned a level 2 listing. Look for that in the "Local Rides" section.

Meridith College was scouted but it seemed too congested and traffic laden for a good ride. The NCSU Vet Hospital was scouted and its parking lots seemed out of the question because the hospital is always open and there is little area for practice due to this. As much as we loved Trikking the scenic, downhill and peaceful rides of Reedy Creek beginning at the Museum of Art (Blue Ridge Rd.), we couldnt see that as a Trikke ride. Far too many ups and downs for level 1 and 2 riders to enjoy the long trail.

We then hit the BINGO! of level 1 rides at the RBC Center. Look at all that beautiful empty concrete ready to practice on!! Be sure to look for that listing. In the coming weeks we will have a level 1 fun ride over there. Make sure you are on our mailing list so you are notified when that will be! Okay, off to hydrate and dream of more routes to find! If you find your dream route be sure to let us know at rides@trikkefitness.com
