Due to job schedule, and my daughters school schedule, I don't know till after I and they get home if we will taking out the tandem or I am riding by myself. I do maybe 1 ride a week "with the guys" and we try to do the "Tandem Taco Nite Ride" on thursdays. I keep thinking I'll get involved with a medium road group to improve my speed/fitness/form, but haven't made it yet. Like many others mentioned, commuting is a loner experience.
