Hi Incubus! I can't begin to tell you how much this has changed our lives.
My S/O, I'll just call her A. is not on these boards, she's not into the whole B/F thing. But thats the way it is around here. But that is for another thread. Both A. and I had to make career changes in the past two years. Her new career, takes her across the state line. It's about 70 miles. That's a pretty far commute every day, so we set her up in a studio very close to her work. She insists that is all she needs. She leaves Monday morning from this home and returns friday evening. That was a bigger adjustment for me, than my entirely different career path. We do what we have to do.
So, Guess what she did. She took her bicycle with her to the studio. She has
never done that before. She rode every night. She's grasping the shifting. She's figuring out the toe baskets have another purpose than to hold your foot on the pedal. She's catching the bug.
She's due in here shortly. I ordered her a rack to pull her kayak, like I have
It came today. We are very close to the river, and the bicycles are much easier than a car.
WINNING! She sent me an email and a couple links of a pumpkin leisure/race day in central Pa.(in Oct) She wants to do the 5k leisure on bicycles and the kayak run on the susquehena river. I think we should race kayak tandeum. She is an engine in a kayak, she's much stronger on her strokes than I am.
We(in the thread) talk about it all the time, get fitted for a bicycle. Yet, she was riding my bikes and really not having any fun. She is five inches taller. OK, so we raise the seat...It's not the same. And it was so evident when she took HER bike for a test spin at the bike shop.
So I'll be riding my rock hopper (the one that is currently living in the dining room) speaking of that....she said to me last night.....Please think about selling your old car so we can use the garage for the smart car and all of these toys. Funny, I wasn't thinking about that when I ordered that rack for the kayak.....
Sorry, it wasn't my intention to go on and on about this, but my dream has come true....she reiterated to me, *Don't even think about it, I am not running with you*
