2024 Tandem planning meeting 3/2/24 @ 3:00, possible Tandem ride at 1:30

 

?
?Hi all,

Just a reminder that Saturday, 3/2/24, at 3:00 will be our annual get together for planning out this summer¡¯s tandem ride schedule. We¡¯ll have a finger food/snacks potluck and lots of catching up on last year¡¯s tandem adventures. Word is that some tandem emeritus teams will be joining us as well! If you know others who might not be on this mailing list please spread the word.

As I type this the weather is looking iffy for Saturday. I will send out a ride go/no-go on Friday. IF the forecast improves, Bill and Sally Ryder have volunteered to lead a short, 12ish, mile ride from the church before the meeting. It will be a ¡°follow the leader¡± ride with no drops! We will plan to roll out at 1:30. The church restrooms will be available before the ride.

The church address is:
Christ Memorial Presbyterian Church
10600 Shaker Drive
Columbia MD 21046

We are looking forward to seeing everyone!

Thanks,
Mike and Evie

Would love to see our tandem friends again but we have moved to Middletown, DE and don¡¯t think we would get many tandems to come this far east for a ride. Much of our traveling lately is by RV with single e-bikes.?
Sorry we will miss the meeting.

Hi all,

After several years of Zoom meetings we are going to have an in-person gathering for visiting and planning our 2024 Tandem rides!? We will be meeting in the late afternoon for a "finger foods and snacks" pot luck, signing up to lead rides, and sharing tandem ride tales from 2023. All tandem cyclists and anyone interested in tandems are welcome.?

Please consider volunteering to lead a ride; it is easy, fun, and low in calories!? If you would like to lead but don't have a favorite route we can help you select one. ?This year we will again start by scheduling a ride on the 3rd weekend of each month and then adding additional days as folks are willing to lead.? If you would like to lead a ride but can't attend please email us your preferred date and location.

With the help of Bill and Sally Ryder we have arranged to rent the Fellowship Hall of their church in Columbia.? That seemed like a fairly central location for CRABS and WABITS to travel to.? If you would like to chip-in toward the rental fee we will have a basket available.

Thank you for keeping us in the loop. Chris and I have finally moved to Shepherdstown, WV from a house we had been in for 38 years. It has been fun, exhausting, busy and more. Will try harder to at least get out on one tandem ride this year or lead one. Wild and Wonderful West Virginia anyone?

Manny and All,

Thanks for volunteering to lead the C&D canal ride on Saturday 21 September 2024.? We are looking forward to it.?

Laurie and I will tentatively volunteer to lead a PATS Tandem Tuesday ride as a joint PATS/CRABS ride on either Tuesday 09 July or Wednesday 10 July.? The ride start would be near Hammonton NJ, hopefully at the height of blueberry season. ? We are looking to schedule on a day of the week when the is open for an after ride lunch. ? Their winter hours currently have them closed on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays.??

Laurie and I have scheduled with the owners of the near to lead a ride starting from, and ending at, the?creamery on Saturday 17 August 2024.?

We are also looking to schedule a joint ride with the Richmond Area Tandem Society (RATS), most likely starting near .? More details hopefully by Saturday 02 March.

Ed & Laurie

Oh, bummer!? I was watching the weather too, and yet hoping for better results. ? Hope to ride with you all in the new year.

*** A bit of trivia for those of you who tour***??
The ban on tandem bicycles was finally lifted in Japan this year.? The main reason it was lifted?? To help transport the elderly and visually impaired.
