Took out the Mule Train for it's first ride today.
Took the Kettweisel's out to Lakeside Park today. It took a bit of figuring but we managed to get both inside our Honda Element. Unloading, reconfiguring and hitching them together and changing shoes is about a 15 minute process. That's not too bad.
We didn't ride very far but our trail included a short unpaved under construction section. The Ketts handle rough roads much better than I expected. I don't have a speedometer yet but I'm thinking our average speed was comparable to what we had previously managed on the Screamer. All-in-all, I'm satisfied. (Mule Team stands for Missouri Union of Longbike Enthuiasts. It must be a tandem club because it certainly isn't an organization. I'm happy that linking 2 Kettweisels together into a train keeps us qualified members.) |

Do you plan on packing the wheel to take along for those times you just want to cruise around a bit separately? How easy are they to get past a MUP blocking post or gate in partial closed position?
If you're ever in the area, I'll offer my services as amateur photographic documentation specialist! I owe you one slice of pie in any case! ;) https://t8fr9g.dm1.livefilestore.com...ppi%201440.jpg |

The 20" front wheel has a QR so packing it along in the car isn't an issue. We haven't worked out what kind of bags or whatever we want for a typical day ride but I kind of don't picture us carrying the extra front wheel with us while we ride. I definitely think that we'll want to bring it with us in the car for a week long vacation. I'd definitely be up for another ride together sometime either with or without pie. We generally do either a 28 or a 32 mile loop that starts and ends at the Culvers on Horseshoe Lake Road. |
