Would you believe this was my wife’s idea?! When she mentioned it I thought, “hmmmm Logie, I like logie, and the Tandem is always fun”. In my lapse of reasoning I failed to consider the finer points of the ride itself. I love logie, its essentially 50 miles of hills, just hills. Oh there are some descents smattered about but the ride is an unholy trick of deception and cruelty as what you see before you is nothing like what your legs feel.
The forecast called for 75 later that day…but tell that to my nipples as I recoiled opening the door to test the “current” situation (somewhere in the 40’s!). We headed out Hwy 30 in solid Fall weather gear and had to strip down at the top of Newberry on Skyline. The rest of the ride was a series of granny grinds followed by big gear scream sessions. A blast for sure…but I’m not sure I’ll do that again.
Co-motion tandem race here we come.
