I think the main reason for finding the climbs tough is the lack of varition in how i can tackle it ( standing, sitting or pushing :)) in terms of actual effort is probably not that much different.

All part of the fun :) If anything, you learn something about trust. --- Tim Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Marc Fox" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > The act of riding a tandem is not as simple as > adding > > up the weight and dividing by two.
