I did no long-distance riding today, nor any tandem ride to speak of. A fresh-out-of-college friend came over to discuss bikes. He's looking for a decent road bike but probabloy with index shifting, and for not too much money. So I let him test ride two of mine around the neighborhood. All too big for him but rideable enough to show him the handling difference between his BSO and a good road bike.
Then I snapped the seat post binder bolt on the Centurion repositioning the saddle so I rode the Gazelle over to Belmont Wheelworks for a replacement. Then I replaced the RD cable and brake pads on the tandem and repacked the captains BB. So I had to take it around the block.
All pretty mundane with no views of Mt. Ranier within 3000 miles.
