nice going @SteveCro - do you have a revised year end target in mind?
re: the tandem - have you ever tried one? On a mad weekend in Bruges a few years ago (you've seen the film In Bruges? It was like that, without the blood) we hired a tandem and rode around the city. I couldn't get on with it AT ALL. It massively changes your centre of gravity, making the person at front struggle to balance the thing just so the person behind can get on. Plus I didn't like being at the back because it felt odd not having any responsive steering.
certainly give it a go if you can before purchasing!!0 -
11/09: Attempted yoga with my daughter but she didn't take to it so we left after only half an hour.
Rigorous house cleaning.
11/10; Day 13 of cycling app. 1 minute intervals at 85% effort. I nearly died. Haha.
11/11: Rest day though I logged 10min for mopping floors to motivate me to do it. I hate mopping floors.
Goals for this week.
- Cycling app week 5.
- One or more sessions of either swimming or yoga.
- Sitting less during the day.0 -

nutrition information web site0 -
@ girlinahat- thanks! found out a guy at work has one, said come on over and take it a ride. It's a nice one Cannondale road bike very light weight.
just in my mind- would like to get to 1500. cold weather and short nights effect my riding now. Getting to 30's *f at night and mid 50's *F daytime. dark at 6 pm.
Didn't get started to mid May riding this year with losing our daughter in April. So lost at least a month or month and a half riding. I figure if I take that into account and if I get to 1500 I would be in my target range of 2000 tor the year.
My bike in my happy place to get away and let my mind rest and my body gets it's workout. lol0 -

Yes ... take advantage of that offer!
As for getting on the tandem, there are two ways to do it. Most people I talk to use the first method, but we just could not do that, so we use the second method ...
1) The captain (person in the front, usually a larger person), straddles the tandem, holding it steady. The stoker (person in the back, usually a smaller person), gets settled on the saddle, both feet on pedals, ready to go. The captain, then starts the bicycle as though he/she were riding a single bicycle (push pedal, raise self up into saddle, etc.).
I hate feeling wobbly and not in control, and this method left me feeling very much that way. But it works well for a lot of people.
2) We both clip in our left feet. We both sit on the saddle and balance the bicycle with our right feet. My husband calls, "Up" and we raise our left feet into position for the first pedal stroke. My husband calls "Go", and we push off. If I'm lucky, I can get the correct side of my right pedal, and if I do, I call "Got my pedal", if I don't I call "Missed my pedal". I wait a couple pedal strokes until he clips in, then we coast and I sort out my pedal if I've missed it. And we're off.
And once moving, he calls out bumps, turns, and most importantly, any time we need to coast. If either of us coasts without warning the other, that can hurt the other person ... it nearly throws me out of the saddle.
And calling out the turns ensures that we're both leaning the correct direction. If I'm sitting bolt upright on a turn, it is a fight to get the bicycle around the corner ... and if the corner is particularly sharp, we've both got to be leaning quite a bit. It is, apparently, like handling a motorcycle.0 -

Oh. My. what have I done?
pushing myself to the limits - a swim on Wednesday, then yesterday I somehow thought it a good idea to go to a roller derby session for two hours followed by a shag class for two hours.
My derriere is bruised, my calves ache from rubbing from the skates, and I am all round pretty exhausted.
But smiling - I LOVE that feeling of physical tiredness from having DONE stuff. It makes me feel full of energy, even if my body can't actually move anywhere!! Day off tomorrow, shopping for a fancy dress costume.
Walking/slightly faster walking what some might call running miles: 27.5/50
cycling:0/40
swim laps:64/100
Lindy/Shag dance hours:2.5/10
Total mileage:27.5/900 -
