Tandem friends:
I wasn't sure we'd make it past the Sierra Nevada, self-supported on our Co-Mo Speedster and both of us in our 60s. But we find ourselves in Kansas, my wife of 42 years and I, on a tour from SF that has gone exceedingly well so far.
So I thought I'd drop a line here and a few pix, in case we can inspire other tandemmers to do the same! Our route is Adventure Cycling Association's Western Express and Transamerica routes (progress map at bottom).
Above: Westcliffe, Colo., heading eastward toward the prairies.
Below, several mountain ranges earlier, arriving in Hite, Utah, at 10 a.m., temperature approaching 100.
Bottom pic: Marienthal, Kansas, early morning.
Below: our progress after 33 riding days; each segment is one travel day (map via ridewithgps).
