Oh yeah, it's gorgeous here today 65ºF+, not a cloud in the sky, light winds. Nothing threatening on the 10 day forecast outside of a little rain here and there. Tuesday's high temp is supposed to push 80ºF. Spring is here kiddies.

First ride in two weeks. Stop me if you've heard this one - I've found out that if you don't exercise, you loose fitness. Crazy stuff.

Got the turbo stoker out for a tandem ride, 70º with a South wind 19-35 mph. Did a short mostly crosswind ride and basically had a 3-way headwind. Stoker was ecstatic to be on two wheels again even with the low miles (18.6) and low average (14.6). She did say that more puppy strapping was going to be called for on the next ride. ;)

My wife and I didn't get into the pic because she is embarrassed at how much we gained over the winter. :D

Extra points for spelling the word, lose, the 41 standard way. :thumb:
What can I say? How about: "Another one down. Another one down. Another one bites the dust". Thank you Queen. |

You need a better t-shirt tailor. There is an old saying dating back to when nearly all men wore suits every day. "You don't need to lose weight. You just need a good tailor."

Totally enjoyed my ride this am, it was around 28 miles with 4000 ft of climbing. Coach said to give him 3-4 hard efforts, 15-20 min each. Haha I compromised and gave him 4 hard efforts, 10-12 min each. ;)
I even got a QOM. Sweet. http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/x...9639012A46.jpg http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/x...CB859B2680.jpg |

What makes it turbo?
In the case of children, though, it really does feel like a turbo back there. Kids seem to float the pedals a lot until you ask them to throw some power to the pedals like on a short climb or on an acceleration. Those munchkin stokers don't have much endurance but they can put out some instantaneous watts for you. :D |
