It's that time of year again! By evening we will be in sunny Provincetown, MA. I will be photoblogging the ride as usual. Please feel free to take me off your default reading list for the duration if the picspam annoys you too much. :-)

moominmolly warned me that riding a tandem means communicating constantly about everything. So true! Braking! Shifting! Turning! Stopping!
In our case it was particularly about shifting, since changing gears unexpectedly is really mean to Beth's ankle. By the end of the ride I was getting a lot better at doing it smoothly, but still need practice.
And pedaling! Pedaling needs to be coordinated. The cranks on a tandem are locked in sync, so you can't coast unless your partner does too. So weird!
Notes:
• tighten shifter cables
• swap seats
• rotate stoker handlebars up a bit
• thank Molly and David profusely
On Sunday, a couple of 30-mile loops to see if we think we can make it the whole way to Ptown. Onward!
