So got Mrs.C out on the tandem for a very short mile and a half ride this morning. She doesn’t hate it. Albeit, short, there were some climbs and one 24 mph downhill.

I’ve done a couple of solo three mile rides on it to get it dialed in. I’m pleasantly surprised on how nice it rides. The brown Bontrager saddle got yanked after the first ride. There’s so much padding in it that it felt like my skivvies were bunched up. I’m not too thrilled with the replacement I put on, but it ain’t the Bontrager.

So, we’re going to try a short ride everyday if it isn’t raining to get her used to cycling again then maybe haul it, along with the kayak, in the trailer when we go camping.
