Chain Incident...


Leaving Cedar Falls today, we lost our chain on the left (two on our tandem). We successfully got off the road and sadly another man had to exit with us, but no one fell!!! Steve got the chain back on fairly easily, happy to have the grease cleaner and baby wipes. Once we remounted, we realized that the pedals were not "in sync" and our downstrokes were not coordinated. It felt a bit like fishtailing in snow, but we adjusted our cadence eventually and we learned to go with it. In our breakfast (pecan and raspberry pie with banana and energy drink) town, Steve got us straightened up.

Good to go.
