Well, I finally bought a starter tandem, if there is such a thing! It's a trail version, GT, that we took out for 30 miles on a crushed limestone path for an organized ride last weekend. We did better than survived, we actually had FUN, and I had no control of the steering, shifting or braking! Eeek! (I put him up front - when I tried to ride Captain, the weight difference (about 60 lbs) was too much for me to control.)

We also did a bit of 'off-roading', as we 'went for it' down a grassy hill (his call) and across some loose-gravely RR tracks (my call)... tee-hee...

Of course, one guy had to point out that if the stoker (me) got too chatty, there was no escape. He he - I've got him right where I want him!!!!

We are actually making plans to bike again, next weekend! I LOVE the tandem!!!! The great thing is that you can converse whenever you want and not have to worry about riding side-by-side or *someone* biking faster than the other one wants!
