The
first excursion on the tandem of any mention-able length took place over
Columbus Day Weekend 2014. We loaded the bike on top of the car and took it
with us to Noank, CT
where we keep our 26' Pearson sailboat. We only stayed overnight on the boat that weekend and
chose to spend time riding around on the tandem a bit. We headed into Mystic,
then into Stonington along back roads, into Westerly, RI, onto Misquamicut,
over to Watch Hill, back through Westerly, down into Stonington Borough, back
through Mystic, returning to Noank. All
felt great. Oblivious as we were at the time, we ended up riding about 45 miles
in under 4 hours. Heck yeah, we can do this! Or so we thought….
