I got coerced into doing it on a tandem (had never been on a tandem before) , and we had a blast!
We rode the 20 miles to the start, rode the ride and then rode the 20 miles back again. Got lost a couple of times, and because we had ridden ourselves off the front, there were no other riders in sight to navigate by either (in fact, I think we lead a few others that had managed to stay with us astray!) , but my pilot had taken a cursory glance on the route map so we navigated ourselves back on the route. Arrived at the Winery half an hour before anyone expected us (that tandem thing is quick!) so had it all to ourselves, microwaved food and all. Ditto for the finish, went to McDs and grabbed a celebratory coffee to kill time until Finish was fully functional.
Arrived back home 10.30 on Sunday, 140 miles later, shattered but happy. Slept most of Sunday -
