Tandems in Tasmania   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #944 of 1028 |
Well we're all back from our Tandems in Tasmania adventure. What a great
week; we had hills, we had head winds, we had tail winds, we had rain, we
had sun and over 500km of tarmac under our wheels and some fantastic
scenery.

Most of all we had lots of fun!

8 Tandems, 2 "half" bikes, 9 children, 2 support vehicles.

I have uploaded some random photos from the trip into the group gallery.
