LMAO, good one.
I borrowed a buddies tandem and took my spin instructor out for a few rides. (50, 102, 57. all fast. /groan) but I tell ya, that was something different. And that century was the most fun I've had on a bike. So I agree that getting someone new involved in the sport is fun. (It helps if they are cute and 23 )
I have also taken time during the week to leave the HRM at home and not use the big ring at all. During these rides I set out to see how nice the day is, to look around, talk to folks, etc. This is very therapudic.
