Starting over

[Trek420]

I've read somewhere that if you take 7 weeks off it's as if you never trained in the first place.

Tried a short slow easy spin on the cycleops last night, body said "nope, not yet" but I think by Friday I can slowly get back in the groove.

the lovely Mondonico may be at the Cinderella, if not, the loaner is quite cool as well; she's a Red Della Santa. But nothing fits me like my bike so I hope she's ready.

Her birthday must be coming up soon. Got any plans? Birthday party? How about a birthday cannoli (get it.. 'cuz she's Italian!?)

Eeeeek! Tell me this isn't true - you're starting to scare me I've been a bit slack for the last few months due to a back injury, but not helped by the winter weather. I've been trying to keep things ticking over on the home trainer but it's gutting how quickly you loose fitness.

Can you really loose ALL fitness? Even if I didn't train for 7 weeks surely I'd be fitter than before I did any exercise at all ...

Oh no! Does this mean we might not see you Sunday? I have a coworker coming who is worrying that he might be slow. You can ride with him. Would a cupcake help? I'm still in the snack planning stage. Are cupcakes recuperative?

Now Sadiekate-- Peeps have the recuperative powers, you must remember that!

Having said that, I'm having knee issues. I'm waiting until Sunday morning to see how they feel, so if I'm not there on time, don't wait for me. I'm hoping liberal doses of vitimin I will work, I want to meet everyone!

Oh no, again!!!! Thanks for the reminder, snapdragen. We have lots of Peeps which should be nicely aged to the proper chewy stage. I have also found that Dove chocolate Easter eggs are good for knees. (sorry, Hershey).

Sending lots of healing vibes to you and Trek.

I'm thinking about maybe moving to CA. Nope, don't got a job, don't got a place to live- but those snack incentives ya'll keep offering for the bike rides might just make the expense of the move worth it!

[Trek420]

corsair...yep that's why we live here...it's the snacks.....

SadieKate I'm loosing it, must be the cold drugs, where when on Sunday? If I recuperate or to the extent that could be fixed by snacks.....

Sadie writes "I have a coworker coming who is worrying that he might be slow. You can ride with him." who you callin' slow? oh, yeah, right, you know people who've seen me ride HEALTHY ;-)

AG asks if I've got plans for "birthday cannoli (get it.. 'cuz she's Italian!?)" well I'm afraid to re-christen my bike, not going to smash a bottle over her bow....but she will get a new saddle and I'm thinkin' Italian.

Mightymitre ... even if you didn't train for a while I'm sure you'd be fitter than most and there's something to the base miles just staying there. I'm not a trainier I think some things just stay in muscle memory.
