[Sportsandrec] Gearing Up for that first tandem ride!

[Jennifer Boylan]

Hi Ron and List,
My teammate and I met with our tandem captains yesterday, got the bikes
fitted to us and took a trial ride around the block twice.  I think this is
going to be great!  I think I will be sore at the end of the day, but not
too bad.  Thank you to all the spinners for their discussion on what to wear
on my tush!  The captains recommended using Desitin, no undergarements and
bike shorts (with leg warmers if it's cold).  My pilot told me he carries
Advil and Tums for the inevitable muscle cramps he gets.  It's going to be
chilly at 8:30 in the morning (nothing like where Kelly's at!)  I'm ready to
go the 21st, armed with your advice and support!  Thank you all for
inspiring me to go out there.  Well-stocked rest stops and a catered Italian
meal at the end make it that much more inviting.  I'll let you know how it
goes!
