Hi-
Glad to have found this forum. My husband and I ride a tandem- just recently bought a Trek T2000 tandem- and have ridden the RAGBRAI 2x (2005, 2008) and the Hilly Hundred 3x (2006-2008). I also ride a Specialized Ruby.
It is very cold here so i've also taken up spinning classes in order to be stronger for the hills next season!
I look forward to learning more from you all!

Cheers,
Marieke
