We had a good first ride on the new tandem today. Thom was very meticulous in measuring my set up on my Legolas and he got the fit on the new bike perfect.

Even though we haven't ridden a tandem in three years, most things just came back naturally. Our starts and stops were very smooth. At first we both felt a little wiggly, but as the ride went on that diminished. Standing on a climb was great, although I wish we had had a little more gear. Thom is still figuring out the Rohloff hub, so that will come with time. We stood to hammer on a flat section though and I started throwing bike like I would on my single. OOPS! What's worse is I was throwing in sync with Thom. Just once was enough to remind me that I am not in charge.

I've still got a cold and anytime I worked hard, my breathing would start getting really raspy, so we only rode about ten miles. I'm glad we got out though.
