Moving up to 2nd place
Another Tandem League event today. Only 5 racing tandems at the start and we shelled Patrick Gaertner and son Nick within 25kms. Robby and Peter were clearly the strong ones, and they put in repeated attacks of which we countered all.
Something had to give somewhere, since Robby & Peter and ourselves were the ones doing the most work. Eventually the other 2 tandems couldn’t match the pace on a hill, and the two BikeMax tandems went clear. Then through a slip of concentration we let them get the jump on us, and we couldn’t close the gap.
So Robby & Peter took 1st, with myself and Uwe at 45 seconds. Hard work, but I seem to be getting used to the position on the bike, as I’m definitely less sore after this one than 2 weeks ago.
