Dust off tandem, pump tyres, mount up and ride off… turn around, come home, fetch allen keys & put seat up, try and tighten seat bolt. Mount up, ride off, half way around the block there’s a suspicious sinking feeling followed by a rapid descent and a THUNK. Turn around, come home, fetch spanner & put the seat up, then tighten the seat bolt properly with Allen key & spanner. Third time lucky, mount up, ride off…
It was a beautiful sunny day as we had lunch and as we first started to get ready to go out, rapidly clouded over with cool grey damp clouds and by the time we reached the bay the stoker was a little cold.
Tandem’s gears are being particularly capricious today, ye olde ancient cables and shifters change when they want to, some time after a request is made, still, it was an enjoyable two hours down to the bay and around, stopping in for a coffee at Black Rock
