On the drive up...

Here's a glimpse of the rig when mounted on our Yakima system. The BOB is using a single fork mount for the rear stay mount and toe straps up front holding it down. The air drag from this getup reduced our mileage down to just above 20mpg. We typically get close to 27mpg when we haul our mountain bikes on our rear carrier. The tandem is just too long for mounting that way. We also used a bike bra, which might have added to the drag, but it sure kept a lot of diesel fumes and bugs off the newly waxed frame.
