    Smile took my TA off road for the first time...

    well kindof,

    on my in in to work earlier this week

    found the country lane from my house to the main road blocked by a lorry unloading building materials with an onboard crane.

    The stabilising legs were blocking the road so up on to the grass verge I go, round the obstruction and back on the road a few yards later - without so much of a dab of a foot down

    and so begins my off roading career ?!

    must say the TA felt very stable/controllable, as it did with the back wheel sliding on ice on the way into work the next morning as I crawled along...

    I knew those misplaced childhood years riding a unicycle would come in useful eventually....

    another couple of foray's like that & you'll be looking for "alternative" routes home from work...

    Good stuff...You're a good few months ahead of me, and it sounds like your having great fun already!

    I'm itching to get myself sorted, and be taking these first early steps...I'm very envious!
    Pics of your TA would be eagerly studied!
