"I Can't Afford a Carriage"

But you'll look sweet.
Upon the seat.
Of a bicycle built for two.

I told her that she could sit in the front and steer but she said she was quite content to sit in the back and bitch at me instead.  It does take a little getting used to for the person on the back because you have no control.  I probably wouldn't do to well back there.  Also because it is not a high end bike it has the limitation that both people need to pedal at the same time, or not at all.  Even sitting up front this was hard to remember.  But I think we'll get the hang of it.  It calls for close communication and Claudette needs some practice in this area anyway......just kidding dear!

We needed something to take out west with us for trips to the store and general sightseeing so this seemed like a good idea.  The other hope is that Colb and I will be able to make use of it in the coming years for our trips to the beach and the like.

I feel a little better today even though I did not get my work out in early as planned.   I did get out of the house by 7:30 but life's little interruptions kept me totally busy until mid afternoon when I finally went for an easy bike ride.....by myself that is.

Looking back on last week I can see why I was a little bonked.  The previous weekend I had put off my long ride until Sunday because of Colbs party.  That meant that there was only 5 days between successive rides of 180 kms, and right in the middle of that I did my longest run to date of 35 kms.  And on every remaining day in between I did some kind of workout.   I feel better :)

(ride, 35 kms easy)
