Did my first 200 on a tandem today (also my second ride ever on one).
Possibly made a poor route choice as, while not especially hilly, it was very undulating. Not really being able to stand up on the climbs takes its toll on your arse. But there’s nothing better than throwing yourself in at the deep end and we learnt a lot.
Weather was great and the riding was excellent. Bombing down the hills had me feeling like a kid riding a bike for the first time again. May try a 300 later in the year.
