TANDEM  Diversity

2025 - Greenland and Iceland: It's not always about the bike. We visited Greenland, without our tandem,  on a small ship cruise, sightseeing and hiking in numerous fjords along the East, South, and West Coasts of Greenland, including visits to several small towns plus the capital, Nuuk (one of my favorite places on Earth, BTW). A week in Iceland saw us visiting Reykjavik, the Reykjannes Peninsula, and the Westmann Islands. Wow, what a trip. It would not have been great for cycling, at least in Greenland, because there aren't many roads. But it was great for hiking and wildlife viewing. We highly recommend a visit to Greenland!

2025 - Idaho: ​This was a 3 day tour on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes. We rode the entire trail both directions, with one other tandem couple. We parked in Plummer, Idaho. Day 1 was Plummer to Kellogg, Idaho, where we rented a condo for 2 nights. Day 2 was to Mullan, Idaho and back, including some time spent in Wallace at the rail museum. Day 3 was back to Plummer. The trail surface is quite nice, the scenery is excellent, and there are tons of birds to see. We saw deer but no moose; rats! The trail is mostly flat; there is a climb up to Mullan from Wallace, very easy. The final 5 or 6 miles on the return to Plummer is mostly climbing, again pretty easy at 2 or 3%.

We had this trail on our list for years - glad we finally went, glad we shared it with friends, and glad we had excellent weather!

For this tour we selected our Co-Motion Carrera Rohloff Co-Pilot tandem, with 650b wheels, pulling our gear in a Bob trailer.
