Tandem weight contest!

You knew it was coming! After last years Tandem age contest, someone suggested (in jest) a tandem weight contest, so here it is! And no, this is not about the bike, although somebody probably already started and finished the lightest tandem contest, this is about the human motors. So the combined weight of the Captain and Stoker on an average day.

I'll start: Captain: 143 Stoker: 115 Total: 258
