Back in Action

After a full week off due to a head cold I started myself back up with a ride to the gym and four circuits of anatomical adaptation type work. It felt so good to be moving my body in a workout no matter how paltry. I did do a longer workout than normal mostly because Heidi accompanied me for the first time. We rode over together on our bikes through the chilly mid morning town. I was going as slowly as possible yet still distanced her when I stopped focusing on staying with her. I am so used to pedalling along at a furious clip that I assume my slow riding will be easy to match. That's not necessarily so it seems. Also picked up today the pedals for the Freschi tandem so that will finally be roadworthy. I have to admit I'm a little bit trepidatious about taking Heidi out on it. She's such a coward when it comes to mixing it up with cars and with velocity of any sort. I'm also a little nervous as I've never piloted a tandem before. Well it's good to try new things they say. I think I'll take it our solo first for a shakedown cruise and then take H for a slow Sunday morning spin to start when the traffic is at it's lightest.
