Cycling in and around Union County, NC

The following post is not cycling related by any stretch of the imagination.
While waiting for my neck to recover and for parts to arrive for the only cycling purchase (other than maintenance items) of the 2010 season we have been doing other things to cut down on our living expenses. Gone is the extra phone line, gone are the additional set top boxes, gone are magazine subscriptions, as well as cutting back on most recreational/discretionary spending.
On our tandem!
It seems that every time we went on a ride the rear derailleur would come out of adjustment during the ride. We wouldn’t have to go more than ten miles before we needed to stop and make a minor adjustment. On the bike stand before a ride I would adjust the rear shifting until it was spot on. One issue, though, was that it was never perfect in all three chain rings. It would be close, but not perfect. Now the drive train is not a low end group or low end components either. We are using a Shimano Dura-Ace rear derailleur as well as Dura-Ace STI levers, a KMC chain as well as a SRAM Powerdome rear cluster.
