Tandem Tailgate Party
Sunday, November 2, 2008

10:00AM
Mt Airy,
Maryland

Join tandemists from
DC's WABITS and Bawlmer's CRABS
at their annual season wrap-up

This year, we move 'up country'
where
the air is clear, the terrain is rolling
and if you drive, the parking is free and easy

Food, fun, and even a few great rides from the family friendly 8 mile warm-up to the 45-mile three county challenger

Bring a dish to share. Beverages and pizza provided.
Plenty of lawn space, chairs, and a HUGE parking lot
for
setting up the biggest barbie you have

Our gracious hosts, Larry and Linda Black
have extended this year's event and invite you to bring your wannabe tandem friends and we will provide bikes for them to try out.
Because it's November, and some people want new things each year, we will have a large area for you to swap, buy, and sell your goods.
Tandems, outgrown clothing, kid's accessories, whatever you can haul up and back
