Hello there Fellow tandemists, I'm new to this posting stuff, but I have been reading this forum since about springtime.I ride tandem with my mom on our cannondale MT800, it's such a blast and I really like when I get to read stories like PVt. cowboy's here..It's always good to hear about people who come over to tandeming like I did..I also ride my half bike as tandem enthusaists reffer to them, but recently I've been doing a lot of tandeming to get ready for the recent Midwest tandem rally (MTR) that my mom and I attended this past labor day weekend...So both of us have taken quite heavily twards the tandem and are enjoying every minute of it...So with that, I wish you PVT. cowboy a great time in the world of tandeming..You certianly in my mind have a great bike to do it on, as I'm a big fan of cannondales, 2 of my single bikes are cannondales also, so good choice and I'll also wish you many happy tandeming miles in the future..
