There have been a lot of firsts in my family recently. Today, it was Carla's turn. She got her own new bike a couple weeks ago, and has been riding it almost every day. She decided she was ready to give the tandem a whirl.
We set out on a 20 mile route on the quiet roads of western WI. Right away, she got scared whenever we went through a turn. Whenever we went fast, she closed her eyes. Eventually she settled in, and trusted me. We averaged 18mph for the ride. We didn't argue once during the ride. I thought for sure she would yell at me at least once to slow down, but nope. We might even try it again some time.

That's the best ride report you've wrote all year! Way to go Lovebirds!!!
That is really cool.
I just wonder when you will find a bike for all 4 of the Cullen's to ride. That would be one fast bike ride!! Happy fall riding / running to all of you!!!
Don't be afraid Carla. It's not like you're on the back of the Dragger with me at the helm going 35 mph down the big hill in to Fort Snelling State Park.
Way to go Carla i'm glad you had fun. We'll go on a ride together sometime. Maybe after Hudson CX? Talk soon.
