[Sportsandrec] Spur of the Moment Tandeming Idea for Detroit

[Christella Garcia]

Hi thanks a lot for those words.  Although we only have three events this 
year they are going to be awesome.  After this convention is over we will 
start planning next years extravaganza, and we will try to get more 
activities such as skating and tandem biking added to the list.  Thanks 
again'
Chris
