Thanks...I was surprised that we could do it and that we stayed warm. Of course, I was TE-prepared with all my woolies. Amazing difference. I kept thinking that I should have set up a SmartWool stand at one of the reststops--could've made a fortune except for the fact that cyclists don't carry money!

DH didn't cold this time. Usually, he does, well before I do. But, at least we had the ability to plop him at a rest stop or sag him back to the start while I went home and got the car if we needed to. You're much stuck on that tandem...ouch.
