We've got a tandem!!

It's only borrowed ... a fellow Audax Australia member has loaned it to us for a month or so to give us a chance to try it out. We've been talking about renting one for some time. Then a couple weeks ago we were in at Abbotsford Cycles, chatting to the owner (the fellow Audax Australia member) about my challenges and difficulties with cycling these days ...... when all of a sudden he offered us the tandem!! We took him up on it and picked it up today.


After a little surge of activity in the middle of June (see Page 1 of this thread), I almost entirely quit cycling. I did a bit on some weekends, but that was all. Then 10 days ago, I started again ... on my trainer inside because of the weather and darkness here. It's been a chilly and very wet winter. In 10 days I've logged 10 hours on the trainer ... I've walked about 20 km ... and I've lifted weights on 8 of those days.
