In April, 1995 we were asked to help set up 'tana's routes for their first rally, here in Tucson. Bill and Jan attended but the details of the routes/rally were left to Roger Haga who set it up. Roger ignored us locals advice and prombtly did rides with lots of left turns during heavy traffic and that first day's ice cream ride ended up finishing after sunset . . no one had lights. For folks who do not live in the desert southwest, when the sun sets, it's minimal time of twilight/dusk . . .
The next day, the planned ride was run in reverse (!) so the map/cue sheet didn't do much good; local bike shop owner and fellow tandem rider, Jerry Pitcock, actually went just ahead of the group in his VW painting Dan Henry arrows on the road and saved the day. To Bill's credit, Roger did not set up too many more rides for 'tana!
While these tours are a bit expen$ive, they are all first class accomodations/events and you do not need to ride a Santana to join in.
We've always enjoyed regional tandem rallies; they are not quite as pricey and lots of fun and organized by the locals who know all the good places to ride and stuff to see/do.
Depending how deep your pockets are or how high you want to ' just charge it' there's many choices out there for us tandemistas!
