A reversal on two fronts

So despite being told Saturday that the doors of the gym would be locked Monday, I changed into my gym clothes and went anyway just to confirm the closure for myself.  Imagine my surprise when I saw the gym was open for business.  I saw the manager and asked him what was up.  I told him on Saturday gym staff said the doors were being locked Monday.

He looked embarrassed and a bit nervous as he said “no, no, we are open!”  I asked for more details.  He said that evidently the man that bought the local franchise will be out of the picture, the landlord was ready to evict him due to non-payment of rent.  However supposedly the gym is now going to be taken over by corporate RetroFitness which according to the manager is a good thing.  I asked him flat out if the gym was going to remain open during this transition and he said yes.  Hopefully he wasn’t lying to my face.

Last night Cindy was out so I tended to a few things before heading out to do a little more reverse riding practice in the driveway.  I actually had more struggles than I expected but I think a part of that reason was my legs were pretty stiff and tired from all the backwards practice this past weekend.  My legs are utilized much more heavily when riding in reverse.
