[Sportsandrec] Gearing Up for that first tandem ride!

[Jennifer Boylan]

Hi Ron,
Sorry to disappoint but it's this coming Saturday, the 21st.  I am anxiously
awaiting the ride and am glad it's supposed to be dry out there for a
change!  I enjoy the silence (and love that song!) but am not sure if I'll
hear the music over my pounding heart and screaming muscles! JK. It's been
about 25 years since I've been on a bike ride, so I'm pumped!  You all will
be the first to know how it went, and thanks again for the encouragement and
advice!
