Chelsea my colleague, friend and gym training partner, has persuaded me to do the Fred Whitton again, this time solo. I have 8 and a bit months to get fit. This time I won’t have John along to tow me up the climbs like in 2005. I shall set myself a target to beat the time we did on the tandem of 11 hours and 57mins.

Helen was a bit stuck as to what she should buy Pete for Fathers Day. So tandem hiring it was… According to Helen they both had a lovely time riding to Bolton Abbey and back!
Coals to Newcastle

Taking our Santana Beyond tandem to the States seemed a little like taking coals to Newcastle. Especially as our visit included a trip to the Santana factory in California. We had some fantastic rides whilst we were out there, the altitude adding a new dimension to tandem riding. At Breckenridge we were at 9,500ft above sea level. My favourite ride was up an old railway track to a Pass called the Boreas at about 11,500ft. This was an incredible climb, the descent was better suited though to an off road tandem as the track was actually rougher than it had seemed when we were climbing, the scenery in the Rocky Mountains was stunning. Especially the thunderstorms which we had to duck and dive a few times. Lets hope we can keep it up, the jet lag has proved too much for us to get back out on the tandem yet though.
