Rudolf and Santa on an mtb Tandem

[JohnClimber]

Me and the missus went on my MTB club's annual Santa ride which the club has been doing for many, many years today.

But this year I took the missus for her first club ride and took the Tandem as well.

It was around the hidden single tracks of Delamere Forest, it was so much harder than when I'm on my normal mtb's and the silly costumes didn't help much as it was very warm. But it was a great laugh.

Here are some shots

i wonder if the chap on the far right behind the stone pillar in the second pic knew he was in shot, good job he was facing the opposite way

I'm not too sure what the chap next to the silver MTB is up to either.

You can get tandem mountain bikes???
Have you ever tried jumps etc and proper off road work in it?
And I agree some of those Santas look like nature might be calling! haha
Cheers Ed

Of course you can, you can get Fat Bike tandems as well, and yes we do take it off road loads.
Here's a video on my rear facing camera of our first trip to Coed Y Brenin on the blue trail.

I hope you didn't have to stop filming to extricate Archie from the rear mech! Looks like great fun!
