My wife and I are planning to do our first tour on our tandem. We will be riding from Santa Cruz to SLO in early April. The plan is to take 4 days for the trip.

We have a Cannondale tandem and will use a BOB trailer.

She has a Terry Butterfly saddle, PI shorts and jersey, Sidi shoes, etc, so from an equipment standpoint, I think we're okay, but your suggestions are appreciated.

I know I need to take our time, stop frequently for sightseeing, take it easy on the descents and not crash.

I would like any tips that you can provide to help make this an enjoyable trip.

Thanks for your help.
