I'm familiar with the area Don, it is nice. You have to remember, though, that this is a tourist town - and designed as such. It's like saying Disneyland is great for pedestrians. I'd wondered about attaching a trailer to the Trail-a-bike, how does that set-up handle?
What you say about the tourism aspect of Sunriver is certainly true. Regardless, it was really nice to see an area so accomodating to cyclists.

As for the handling of the "train" I had going, stopping was about the only real issue. It's not that I couldn't stop at all, it just took longer. On really tight corners I had to swing a little wider to keep the trailer on the path and I now know from the few hills I encontered that my low gear is not nearly low enough for the amount of weight I was towing, even with the little help I was getting from the stoker on the Trail-A-Bike.
