There is always hope. My son while not as accomplished as yours agreed to stoke our tandem after breaking his arm in a training accident. It was the only way he could ride outside so we went for a few rides. Needless to say he had a little more power than his mother since he is 30 years younger and 50 lbs heavier. Really a blast especially since he was a fairly new cyclist at the time so lots of raw power but not a very smooth stroke.

My question for you is would you stoke for him if he agreed to captain?

There is also a two man team time trial in Austin each year and tandems are allowed to participate. The tandem division has been won multiple times by a father daughter team. .
