[Sportsandrec] LM's tandem bike info

[Lisamaria Martinez, NOMC]

I do live in the san Francisco Bay Area. I do know all about BORP. In fact, 
I'd participate in the BORP Revolution this September, but I have a very 
good friend getting married this September.

I do live in an area where we can do some road biking, trail biking, and we 
can always go into the hillier more rustic areas if we want.

I'm hoping that my tandem will provide me with a level of fitness. Do I want 
to go to the Paralympics with it, na?
