we just did an easy 20 miler on the Samammish river trail on the tandem. I'm breaking in a new brooks style saddle before we go on our Adventure Cycling Tour in California this month, so it was a stop and go, tweaky kind of ride. LOTS of families out on the trail, which was not a surprise on a holiday weekend. Parents doing a good job teaching trail etiquette (for the most part) was an amazingly pleasant surprise. Gave many a thumbs up and "lookin' awesome" encouragements as we passed the orderly family formations along the way.
