yep, I hear what you're your saying. I used to live In Gainesville, just down the road from OP some years ago-it's Gods country and it was great to get out and ride there. But honestly, ANYWHERE on a bike is great! But that's not all he was suggesting. As a kid, my buddy and I used to ride to any mini golf place we could go. Sometimes a few times a week.Those were great times. Also, I grew up with an old steel Columbia tandem. We broke the frame several times and Dad would take it to work and weld it or braze it(can't remember) Anyhow, finally I purchased a tandem 2 years ago. My wife had never been on before, but she absolutely loves it. As do I. So many memories. Going out and riding as I did last weekend, only 20 miles was great even if it was 34 degrees. Can't wait til Sunday to go out again. Riding indoors just doesn't cut it!
