Back to Remagen. It’s been six years since we were last here. A hard day at times on the #tandem but well worth it. – at North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

I was sceptical of getting an etandem - but after a 50 mile ride that bit of assistance is very appreciated. But you’ve still ridden those miles! In fact it gives you the confidence to be more ambitious and not stress about ‘how many miles to home’ @thetandemclubuk @OrbitTandems

Yesterday we collected our new Gepida from @OrbitTandems (brilliant service and advice as usual). Today we enjoyed the freedom to explore the quiet lanes and paths around #Cheshire enjoying a picnic along the way in Delamere forest. @thetandemclubuk
