Rode some this week. Felt good. Last weekend I didn't have much of a chance since Sarah and I were at the races all weekend. Three days of NASCAR. Did get a fair amount of exercise Saturday and Sunday sitting in turn three and walking back to the truck around at turn 1. Took Monday off to recover.
Problems again this week with chain management. Dropped off the right rear wheel on the inside of 1st gear. Dropped the main chain a couple of times. I've got to mount that derailuer assembly to act as my chain tensioner.
No rides this weekend. Helped dad with the front porch construction. Sealed the porch and dug up mom's azailas. Today knocked out a spot in the driveway for one of the 4x4's. Twelve inches deep concrete to go through. They don't make driveways like that anymore. Later.

There is a chain tensioner on the market that's like a dérailleur cage that might work. It's for converting a cluster of sprockets into a singlespeed. I can't remember who makes it, but that might be a little less complexity rather than using a dérailleur for the same purpose.
By the way, I'll be adding a link to your blog over at mine.
I just realized this, are you using a positraction concept (Both rear wheels driving)? If so, why not simplify the system and just use a single drive and the other as a free rolling wheel? It would simplify your chain management and synchronization of the rear geartrain would be eliminated.
