...but for my VI stoker it was a great achievement for his attempt and in 36C deg.
Sat 14th Nov, we did a 100 km Audax ride with 4 other tandem teams and 150+ solos. Undulating course, we actually out-climbed some solos on the major climb and down hills were an absolute blast...very addictive. My stoker didn't miss a beat, strong all the way and encouraging in the hard parts, we had a great time and I think he's now hooked...he probably wants us to do the PBP next!!
It was nice to ride along with the other tandems and chat, very funny at times, especially when I did my Connie Francis rendition of "Where the boys are".
Why didn't I get a tandem years ago instead of road racing solos?
