That's true love
I saw the report from Wilderness 101 on cyclingnews. It's a 101 (duh) mile mountain bike race that a few friends participated in. (GO BETSY! SWEET!) Anyway, what really caught my eye was the very last category - the tandem mountain bikers. Yes folks, that's 11-14 hours of togetherness in which the conversations probably went"Stop trying to steer"
"Are you pedalling back there?"
"&*(##& STOPPING!!!!!"
Then again maybe I'm just confusing this with our tandem ride through Brugge. Of course the Wilderness 101 was probably not this smooth or this flat. (And honestly, we had a great time once I stopped trying to drive from the stoker's seat)I vote that next year the race promoters get some divorce lawyers to sponsor the new Married Tandem class. "Free consultation after the race!"

Evaluating Relationships through Tandem Cycling? You may be on to something. What about worried parents getting their teenage daughter to ride with a boy she thinks is sooooo cool? I wonder how many of those infatuations would last through 101 miles?
Or take the ride with a fiance. If you both have a good time, your marriage will last forever.
I'm thinking we have a book deal in the works! Things like who's driving and who's stoking, learning to coordinate the whole tandem thing, deciding whether you're one of those cute couples with matching outfits or a couple with different styles that make a good team... We have something here!
