Can someone help us with a 25mm hose clip? Need to secure campervan waste hose.
Has someone picked up a Salviac plastic glass by mistake?
A TCI couple approached me last night about loss of electrics on their Shimano powered Orbit tandem, can't remember their names, they were going to cycle to Roscoff
Just had a thought, did they check if the little magnet on a spoke on the rear wheel is aligned with the sensor on the rear chainstay, it tells your bike computer your wheel speed. Once on my Hase Pino the magnet had twisted on the spoke and out of alignment and I lost power

Hi Kevin - thanks for the suggestion - it's one of the things I checked last night, but no joy. We're now sorted with a ride to Roscoff on Monday for Amy, me and the tandem. Now we get to enjoy 2 extra days in Gouarec and will probably ride the flat route to Bon Repos for a coffee tomorrow. Thanks again, Stephen

Hi Stephen, great to hear you Amy and the tandem are sorted. Be interesting to hear what the solution to you problem was. Many other Shimano powered tandems in the Tsndem club might benefit in the future.
Yes please we e-Orbit tandemers need to know what the solution is//was? But we are pleased thou found it!
I'll keep you posted...
These cycling shoes were found after cleaning up after the rally.
Oops. These are ours. Swapped for more comfortable shoes after the tandem games. And left early wednesday morning. Please be in touch via uittenboog@hotmail.com to see how we can get them repatriated. Apologies for the inconvenience. Hans&Angelique Uittenboogaard

Hi, We're new to tandem riding but have been club members for a while. We live in North Devon. Would we be able to join the rally just for a day or two, and stay overnight, either Friday 7/Saturday 8, or Saturday and Sunday. Thanks, Will
Hi Will yes a few nights are fine, non electric. Hope you can join us

It’s flaming June and holiday season so five members of Taunton Tandem group set off from Gillingham to the airport.
The weather was perfect for cycling, warm but not too warm and no wind.
Clive and Emma’s carefully planned route took them along shady, leafy and quiet lanes and through charming villages. The Bennet Arms at Semley, (a village with an old worldly feel and large green), was just about to open but the ride was going so well no one felt the need of a break. They pressed on, through Donhead St Mary to the longest climb of the route. Unfazed they then continued to Compton Abbas Airfield to lunch at The Lore of the Sky.
While dining on the patio, they were able to watch the small planes taking off, circling and landing. There was even a Tiger Moth. Clive and Emma had managed to arrange an airshow!
After the leisurely lunch the group then set off for home, dropping down to Fontmell Magna and then on through rolling lanes back. There was a pub in East Stour where they could have stopped for a drink but yet again they were happy to press on. Another 5 miles from East Stour brought them back to Gillingham. The whole ride was 28 very enjoyable miles.
