Very, very true. I coach two girls fastpitch softball teams and we're in the middle of 7 straight weekends of tournaments. When I have a free weekend I tend to look for a car show to put my Falcon in. It's all I can do right now to squeeze in a ride every couple of weeks when I'm on a field almost every day of the week. As much as I hate the thought, this will be my last summer coaching. My back issue is just too painful when standing (which you do a lot as a coach). That should allow me time come August to get back on a bike and into shape.
At least I have had a few spare minutes to tweak my Gitane Olympic and Peugeot PX-10 a little more to my liking.
