One of the problems of living in the Midwest is the lay over period in the winter. I lived in four different Midwestern states for about two decades so remember waiting forever for Spring to arrive so I could resume cycling. The last time I visited Wisconsin the summer temperature was near 100 and the humidity oppressive. I was hoping for a cool period with dry weather. It's one thing you can't order while choosing a vacation. It sure is nice to be able to ride all year long so you minimize the loss of fitness.
You have a very high quality trike. It's not a matter of trike weight that you might have with an entry level trike (heavy and limited gear range). You could put me on your fast racing trike and I would not break any speed records. I'm not fast on my Catrike 700. If I keep at it, the hills seem to get less steep the more I ride.
