[drivingpairs] Re: Fellow Tandemaniacs

Bob-
Thanx for you offer on the cart but at this point I really need to find
something that would work with more than just the tandem.  I'm not planning
on going to any big fancy pleasure shows (actually, staying dressed up and
clean that long is more torture than I care to do at this point) and I don't
think I can get to a CDE this year.  So the road cart I'm considering just
might work until I can win the lottery and then can afford a carriage for
everything I might want to do!

Thanx again for your help!
