First tandem ride of the year

Despite the first p*nct*r* and the cafe being closed, it was still brilliant, but my sons choice of burger king for lunch was  :sick:   -  Thought I was in the fishnishpishdish for a while.

Every Monday evening I ride my tandem as "support vehicle" to a group of runners.  Panniers to carry spare kit, and an empty back seat to help anyone flagging.

Its "presence" on the road can be very useful in blocking junctions to allow the convoy of runners to get across.

Strangely enough Monday was our first tandem outing of the year. Had a puncture too, but didn't go to burger king for lunch.

Good decision. Our ride was Sunday in fact: I usually stop somewhere of my kids choice for  a rest/warm up/chips. Often it has been McD's, which is always an eye-opener for me. I just dont know why these places are so popular.

We did our first tandem ride of the year and the first since Polly's double arthroscopy on January 5th.  We only did five flat miles, but it was good to back out on it.

Our first tandem outing of the year was surprisingly p*nc**r* free  :smug:, but did throw up a few other challenges.

Took out the other tandem for it's first ride of the year yesterday, 36km of glorious North Devon roads. For a good day on the bike, there's no need to go anywhere else, it was amazing.

..and now the first tandem (or bike-based) treasure hunt. We rode this today, great fun event - so different to an audax.

I wish I'd known about that. Good photo of you in there.
