Kona Day 1 & 2

We are finally here and it's just as awesome as I remember it from my last visit in 1993. We are staying in a great 3 bedroom condo about 1 km from rhe srart line. We have been out on 2 rides on our new custom carbon frame from Calfee Design. It is an awesome ride. I have ridden several tandems made by different builders and this frame from Calfee is by far the best I have ever ridden. It is light , stiff and is a perfect fit. These are the three most important aspects of a tandem, especially the stiffnrss. These 3 features are very difficult if not impossible to find in a racing tandem. We have been out on the Queen K and the pavement is prisitne. It has been hot out there and the Kona winds are relentless. Be back tomorrow with more and some photos to go along with it.
