Dash and I did one awesome race together on a tandem. I was stoker. You need a special kind of ... uhhhh ... guts to steer at 90km/h plus on Jan Smuts, and Dash is a brilliant pilot ... It's awesome how two people form one engine... And sometimes you get the sync right on the climbs too, but that's hard! Weazul and Dash were incredible the one time they tandem'ed together... Then there's this invisible force named Robert Vernon ... Hey Carine? But Francois is in a different league... The oke in front will have to pedal hard otherwise Francois will overtake him on the climbs!!
So Jacques make a plan and hitch a ride on a tandem... You will love it! On 9/26/12, Jacques Booysen <[email protected]> wrote: > I would also like to try.
