First organized ride on our tandem
Jun 8th, 2013, 1:59pm
 

 
This photo below is of us on our Terra Trike Tandem Pro IPS. Downtown Houston at the Moonlight Classic. It is a five mile closed course. Our first ride in an organized ride on Deuce. We were surprised at how it performed. We are NOT in good riding form, and the DF's we were passing shouted "That thing is FAST!". And it has army boots for tires -- NOT fast tires.  Loads of fun!!!n

The main thing for a tandem is to have strong, durable tires as it's carrying lots of weight...not necessarily fast ones.  Fill to their max. and go, go, Go!  
Looking good, you guys!

Vicki I did not want Sweet P to be in the heat for over 4 hours. Flat faced dogs (Pugs) cannot tolerate heat. It WAS unseasonably bearable that night, but I am a worrier. I did order her a high tech cooling vest to wear in situations like this from now on -- I was miserable without her (She stayed at her Granny's town house while we were gone).  This cooling vest was off the charts expensive, but she will get MUCH use from it so I thought it was justified.  She will wear it every time we get out to go ANYWHERE when it is hot. NEXT YEAR she will definitely be bringing up the rear on Deuce at this ride! Smiley
