Hello Black Jack,
Riding a bike is done by virtue of a tandem bike. A bicycle
build for two. The captain is the front rider and guider of the bike,
the sighted person. The second rider is the stoker the blind person. Of
course both peddle. If you've ever ridden a bike than it will be very
easy for you to adapt. Feel free to come and join us. Thanks for the
questions.
Warm regards,
Mycell

Mycell,
Great to hear from you about this ride! I'm definitely going to ride
again this year but I may be able to find a captain to help me transport
my own bike to the ride this year. I'll let you know if I'll meet you
all at the mall this year for transportation.
Scott

Hi All,
Sorry for the short notice for this year's Tandem Ability
Ride event.
Lean times but willing minds and even bodies that don't want to
cooperate but we press on you know. Thanks to our faithful sponsor,
Higherground Bicycle Company and Capital City Cyclists, the
event has been
scheduled for October 31st. As has become our tradition, we will
meet at the
upper level of Sears at Governor's Square Mall, (near the
automotive
department) at 7:30 a.m. and plan to return by no later than
2:00 p.m. We
will then car or van pool from Sears down to the New Port camp
grounds. You
will be responsible to get yourself to and from Sears.
The registration fee for this year's event is $10.00. It
will go towards
transportation, light refreshment and water. Please make your
check payable
to Mycell Armington and send it to her at: 2006 Casa Linda Court
Tallahassee, FL 32303 no later than October 23rd.
Other things to remember:
When cycling a long distance please dress comfortably. For this
event
bike shorts are extremely important as some of our veteran
cyclist can
attest too! Bring a light jacket also in case the wind, like
last year
gets gusty. Sunscreen and bug repellent are also important.
Socks and
solid tennis shoes are important if you don't have biking shoes.
If you
have them, biking gloves are also important to prevent blisters.
If you
have a helmet please bring it or let me know you need one. No
one rides
with out a helmet it is a safety requirement. We want you to
have a
wonderful time and be safe also.
Below is a short registration form that can be cut and pasted
back to me so
I can quickly pass it on to our
other coordinators. Thank you so much for all your help and I
very much look
forward to seeing you on the cycling trail.
Warm regards,
Mycell Armington
Tandem Ability Ride Coordinator
