To all who offered ideas, I thank you. Once the riding season ends I'll confer with my LBS and Calfee and come up with a plan. I'll let you all know what I decide and how it goes. Again, thanks for taking the time to help out a fellow tandem rider!

On a side note, yesterday we rode the Pedal2Pints ride here in Western Massachusetts, I only saw one other tandem on the ride. It would sure be fun to see some more tandems next year. Check it out: Pedal2Pints.com. There is a Spring version as well.
