Tell us about your weekend ride

Have the two of you got the synergy thing sorted yet? First couple of rides we did on ours had a few dodgy moments when Olivia suddenly stopped pedalling and tried to lean into corners before we needed to start turning. It was amazing how small shifts in the weight of the stoker can throw out your line. Having said that our tandem had well twitchy handling anyway.
Anyway, great stuff, I look forward to reading about the epic expeditions you'll no doubt make.

I don't think I did any inadvertent leaning (in fact I'd entirely forgotten how to steer by the time I tried to ride in this morning and nearly rode into a bus) though I did cause some excitement when I put my foot down into one of London's famous road craters and we nearly went sideways. I felt this was apt revenge for Tom riding me into a holly bush though.
