We did our annual ride up the coast from Woodbridge to Lowestoft(UK) on Saturday with seven solo's. We got the train down to Woodbridge, then 54 miles, most of it off-road, and the last couple of miles on the beach. Then another 12 miles to get back to home.
Indeed they are Ellsworth's. I had a quick chat with the team from the Orange one - didn't really say much - I thought they were competing but apparently only there to look around and ride a bit - I didn't see them again after this - despite being there for the next 14 hours I think the range one had also been built up with no expense spared looking at the components
Here's a couple more pictures from my phone. Sally wanted to know about they tyre choice - as we've had trouble with our Rocket Ron's - I notice that the Black one has a Racing Ralph on the back - I would have thought that was a bit lightweight for a MTB tandem.
Seems unusual for tandemists...................Perhaps the bikes had been shipped-in for publicity purposes?
I've never been that keen on Schwalbe tyres................seen too many get shredded, and they're a bit too expensive for my liking, Hans Dampf seem good though. Never had any trouble with Maxxis.
It's working fine. The travel has been reduced to 140mm, with a couple of bottomless tokens fitted as well. I was particularly impressed with how much of a improvement there was with it in the "open " position on DH sections.
