There's been rumblings on the tandem threads recently with talks of Dunwich etc, so clearly what is needed is a summer tandem ride.
Please note, this ride is open to everyone regardless of bike. Come along, get drunk and have a go. It's ace.
There's a few of us on here with tandems, long rides are a breeze on a bicycle made for two, it was great fun being able to keep up with some really fast guys on the Southend ride last year, also provides good drafting opportunities for others.
Def want the rowdy red tandem team from the tweed run to come(I have no idea who they are)
So, day ride? 70miles ish? Start at 8am from brick lane courts? Ride there and back to avoid trying to take numerous tandems on trains?
Any ideas for dates? Late june/july perhaps? Routes? Pubs etc that are famous for tandeming? Hills are fine on tandems if anyones feeling fit(I'm way out of shape at the moment).
Seeing as I started the thread I should probably smooth all these details out. Hmm..
PROVISIONAL DATE 25th june. Sound good?
It happens to be my birthday and a saturday. Win.
