Congratulations! Truly awesome, you two are just a few years behind my mom and dad who are celebrating their 63rd in a couple weeks.
It's so great to see people that say "I do" and truly mean it and 40 years on a tandem. Wow you're stoker is a saint!

Congratulations, that really is an awesome achievement and you're both great adverts for cycling.
My wife and I have had 30 years of happy marriage. Given that we've been married for 46 years that's not a bad percentage!
Only joking, hope my wife doesn't see this.

Well congrats. The very best "divorce machines" I have seen: SUVs and minivans. A few other vehicles, to be sure, but SUVs and minivans seem to take the prize here.
And just where do I see them? Heh-heh... On route 126, In Concord. Yep, right where Walden Pond ("Lake Walden", if you grew up around here) When: On hot, summer days,
when the heat and humidity are soaring. I take a ride out that way, and I always make it a point to mosey back via route 126. What I see: The reservation fills to capacity
on those days. So, all these vehicles are lined up on 126, waiting for the time when they will re-open. And.. None of the occupants are smiling. They all have this horrible look
of dread. Thus, I have always wondered just how many marriages/relationships begin their trip to splitsville, right there. And cyclists? Well, we just kind of ride past.

I thought my 34 years was doing ok, but against 60 years I'm still in the minor leagues. Congrats on a great landmark. Hope my wife and I make it that far

Don't mince words
You two are truly inspirational! We're 34 yrs. married, 8 years a tandem team, and you've set the bar, Rudy.
They say wherever your relationship is headed, the tandem will get you there faster. I see how that has worked for you, and we're nipping at your heels.

"Whichever way your relationship is headed a tandem will get you there quicker."
Mrs. Grouch and I don't have quite as many years, either together or on a tandem, as you two - but we're close and we're still having fun!

Thank you all!
Little anecdote: when we went to get our marriage license in 1955, the fee was $2.
Kay handed me a one dollar bill and said "here's my half."
A great start: share and share alike!

Wow inspirational! Very happy for you!
ps: like someone else mentioned, I too had to look twice at the alleged birdie! Love the "growing old is not for sissies" tagline!
