Thanks for the good wishes. All recovered now, 5 years later. Sold the tandem a month ago. Road bikes are 14 and 15 lbs, so lifting is easy. On a long trip, we put them both in the the back for the highway drive, and put them back on the rack at our destination.

upallnight is on a distinguished road
I have the Saris Thelma rack that I use on my X for my bikes.

I had roof racks, both Yakima and Thule, but the wife couldn't lift the bikes on the rack, so we got a Hitch rack. We brought a Saris hitch rack that was able to carry 4 bikes, but we needed a converter for the wife and daughter bikes. So I sold the Saris Hitch rack and brought a Saris ride on.

Best rack we ever brought. The wife and daughter can mount their bikes since it isn't to high off the ground, they don't need a converter on their bike and the rack folds up so it doesn't take up too much parking space or get hit by driver that doesn't notice that you have a ride on rack.

I like it because none of the bike frame touches the rack so I won't risk scratching my Cervelo tri bike or my Cannondale montain bike. And it made in the U.S.A. and the company is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
