Reigning NSG Age-Group Trike Champion Dead

Posted in Training Reports

FOUNDATION 5.4 TRAINING REPORT (04/21 – 04/27)

HIGHLIGHTS: I just learned that Rodger Reddish, the reigning age-group 3-wheel recumbent champion for the past two National Senior Games (NSG), died on January 15th. Cause of death was not disclosed. Roger was a Colorado Springs, CO, resident, veteran, and stroke survivor. He was the sole trike competitor in my age-group at the 2022 NSG in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and 2023 NSG in Pittsburgh, PA. He was also a multi-gold winning champion and held “more records than any other person who has medals in the world riding a trike.” I was looking forward to meeting him and competing against him in Des Moines at the end of July.

All indoor cycling sessions were completed with my recumbent trike on a Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine smart trainer + Rouvy application. Both strength workouts were completed this week.
