Good luck to you guys and anyone going!
It looks like a great event, and we hope to try it someday! We just had too many other things this year to make it this time around.
We all expect an awesome race report after the event :)

I think I can figure out the when but where is this race? Sounds like fun but it's probably on east coast?

Thanks, I just googled it. That's not too far! Do they allow other makes of bikes (this is probably a stupid question)?

Mexl: How are you transporting your aurulent Co-Motion Robusta to/from Oregon and Florida? Delta isn't working (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=571385), but what is?

We registered but aren't going to make it. Big-wigs are coming into town to see the progress of the big project cgallagh is responsible for, and his absence would be frowned upon. So we'll plan for next year, when he's between projects.
Looking forward to your ride report. Hope you have a great time!

Aha, I just realized something. I am sure that this is not the way it works with you, but others might be inspired to put their tandem shipment into the mix as one of the office's business expenses, and thus pay for the shipment in pre-tax dollars.
That is something to consider in the decision whether to spring for couplers. If Aliant Express can do round trip for $280, it would take a lot of trips before the couplers and cases were paid for, especially if the airline charges an extra-poundage luggage fee for the two cases anyway. And if that $280 is pre-tax, why, that's hard to beat.
