If the first law of cycling is that for every uphill there is an equal and opposite downhill, then the second law must be that for every headwind there is an equal and opposite tailwind. At least on a tandem the power to wind resistance ratio is much better. Our return to base was decidedly easier than anticipated. Or maybe it\u2019s just that our stokers are collectively fitter than given credit for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, a superb ride. A full complement of ten tandems and a solo including husband and wife Ian and Nic, together with Tom and Amar all on their maiden away ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks everyone who made the morning so enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
