We bought a tandem and she wants to go! My wife figured out, that we can rock on the tandem, and it's just 20 miles and then you get to take a break. As long as there are plenty of breaks, no problem.
She is a great rider and we have logged over 400 miles on then tandem. We can do a 50 mile ride without problems at the end of this season.
I just added a brooks saddle, and I am ready to go!
Iowa, my better-half and I have done RAGBRAI three times (two south and one central) on our tandem. It's a good run to be sure. She wants to ride this year but it's my singles turn this time.
We'll most likely be out there on the tandem in 2005..should be the northern course then and will be just perfect for the tandem. Incidentally, the northern route is the only one we haven't done it on the tandem, so I'm looking forward to it. Five days of relatively flat is great on a tandem to be sure!
