I have added the West Country Saturday ride to the Rides part of the site. Within this I have added a description and 4 pictures as well as adding markers along the way. What I am trying to do is grade these 1-5. The idea is to be able to find great routes without being swamped by routes which are difficult to follow/understand. As this one doesn't have a PDF routesheet, I've designated it a grade 4 as it was a lovely route (Thanks Peter and Jenny) and has nearly everything else. This is what i'll be doing in the future. https://tandem-club.org.uk/rides?cmd=view&id=310

Over the past 4 months I have added National trust/English Heritage/Cadw and Scottish Trust properties to the Tandem Club Rides map. This is stage 1 for me because i will now be looking to add rides to flesh it out. There are over 3000 places marked now. I've said before that it's unique, and it is. So if you have a favorite ride that others will enjoy please upload it or get in touch.20/02/2021Peter Weeks

Hey everyone, thanks so much for all the ideas and recommendations! We're now looking into one-way van hire and I'll let you all know what we're doing in the end, so other people can maybe also benefit. Also, thank you Michael, I will email you just now

Many thanks. That is the route we were thinking of doing. We were going to stop at Bawtry, Long Eaton, Brandon and Cheltenham.

Your best solution will probably be to ask your wife to put her hands on your waist rather than on the handlebars. This will eliminate any rear steering effect. Once your wife is more confident and more accustomed to tandem riding she should start using the bars as normal.

Eight tandem crews assembled in the drizzle in Glastonbury to head to the coast. We stopped on the Levels at Sweets after just 8 miles where Malcolm and Grace joined us for coffee and cake and Bill who rode with us to Burnham on Sea. The weather improved as the day went on and we were able to enjoy more ...
Back in February when the only way we could meet was on Zoom and we were all bemoaning the fact that holidays this year might not happen, I happened to suggest that perhaps we should think about a few days camping and cycling. Very quickly the idea took off and before we knew it I had booked for 24 more ...Our August ride is on Sunday 8th August starting from Crosby Ravensworth, 9:15 for a 9:30 am start. Paul and Jeannette will be leading a ride in the picturesque Eden Valley. It is a superb area for cycling and this promises to be a great day out. For further details see the What's On page on the web more ...
