Road Ride Report Solvang Weekend (Tandem Maiden Voyage)

SD, I'm on a black Cannondale Synapse. My buddy on a light blue Rubaix towed us up the hill. Although you did finish 45 min ahead of me, leads me to believe it might not have been you, however, I rode good till about 65 or 70 then I kind of died out for a bit till the climbs. No matter, it was still a great day! Glad to be home and back on the fat tire bike though!

 

Sol, thanks to you and your wife for cheering everyone on during the climb up Maple Springs! Nice looking tandem.

 

For scenery it's hard to beat the Solvang Century. Fastest century I did was there (5:28 ) but with optimum conditions. It's really not a ride you want to rush through. I had my best time (meaning fun time) when we went with a big group and stayed together. When I rode down from WA and when I got to Solvang it felt like I'd finally made it home. I went into Solvang and left the coast at this point. I'm hoping to ride it next year.

 

I just looked at this thread again and realized that I saw you at Johns Place on Saturday- my wife and I sat right next to you guys! :lol: Awesome looking bike by the way... I was checking it out the whole time.
