No, we haven't ridden on before. So getting a good person to take us sure sounds like the way to go. I am very use to a single, so I will need to learn to adapt.

Yes, this is the one thing that I have read, and have taken to heart. I appreciate your feedback. Knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do.

Thank you very much and Happy Cycling
