I am a very new Tndem rider' date=' and certainly know where my place is.... my pilot is experienced, but we DO NOT take chances... both like our skin where it is.

 

[/quote'] Well said Pedal. Sunday my Boet and I rode the Bay PPA ride had a great time. We rode hard (and sensibly) with the fast tandems, stayed with them for as long as possible and were soundly dropped as we got to Smits.

 

Without them we will not get stronger.

Hmmm.. Went through my racing pics, and ... well...

At the Bakwena, hardly a puny race, initiating the break, and...

Well maybe I'm blind, but that looks like the Mixed Tandem is pacing!!!!

I am all for mixed/ woman tandems, I just want some regulation in the tandems, there has to be a seeding system. that is all

Let me remind you, the Construction du Cap 99ner was won by a mixed tandem.  Absolute nonsense to single out the mixed tandems.  In the Argus there are racing tandems and non racing tandems.  It works according to seeding only and it works well.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
