1999 Alabama Tandem Weekend

Jeanie, Brian, and Stuart Coulter attended the 6th Alabama Tandem Weekend, April 14-16th, in Auburn Alabama. 44 teams attended. The event was held at the Auburn Univ. Conference center, and was very well organized. Fortunately, ALTanWeekend3 the forecasted terrible weather did not materialize. On Saturday, we rode out to the lunch stop on the intermediate loop route, and directly back for a total of 35 miles. Several other loops were available – a team could ride about 75 miles, on the well marked route, if they wanted too. The whole gang had a pizza party afterwards. Sunday we rode about 25 miles. The team behind us had a blowout that sounded like a gun shot, which fortunately happened just before a long decent. We saw a few triples, and one family of 5 with the parents on a tandem, 4 and 2 yr old children on a trailer-cycle, with a one yr. old in a trailer hitched to the trailer-cycle.
