Grass strip? If so, remember it does not brake like pavement... Did this a few years on weekends. Definitely enjoy at least a tandem for yourself. Improves understanding of the experience and camaraderie. Pack a lunch, don't waste time getting out to eat! Drag some friends out to watch and maybe ride along or jump. Had a family member ride along once with a video camera. Never forget that one... Get a photo of yourself - you'll always enjoy retelling the story better with pics!
