[Sportsandrec] Gearing Up for that first tandem ride!

[Ron & the bears]

Hi Jennifer,

So, how did your ride go on Saturday? The bears & I am waiting to hear all 
about it with baited breath.

: 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!
