Brandy bikes, I bike

I didn't get in the hammer time solo run that I was planning, but I did go on this ride with my wife.  Unfortunately, we started out a bit late, and the heat was already rising.  The out part (miles 1-3) was gentle (for me) inclines, and, as you can see, we were much faster on the return.

My wife still needs quite a bit of time on the bike for the shifting timing, getting comfy, and just general on-the-bike experience.  It will come, but only time on the bike will bring it about.  Conditioning will also come with more riding, so I am content to slow down if it means that we can add biking to our list of activities that we can enjoy together.
