MadM,
If it was me I'd have to say the Rosie the Riveter jersey. Just my warped sense of style.

What jersey should the President wear when he is mountain biking? Rumor has it he is long-time 50+ forum lurker -- can't remember his forum name, though...

Oh and you got DG right.

Probably the long sleeve tuxedo - to avoid road rash.

Shouldn't the President's jersey be #7 - "W"?

nope..........he's 8.............oh wait, there is no 8..................ok..he's 8 then.

maddmaxx! Great idea!
But this is fictional, right? We're not supposed to assume there's an actual owner on the forum these Jerseys? Because 7 should be Tom Bombadil, but he doesn't wear jerseys.

correct, these are assumed jersey's that match the on screen persona of some of the folks who post here. There could be other contributions.

Well, I see something about #1 I like, I just can't quite figure it out . . . . .
Well, I've been biting my tongue, waiting for other people to play:
Here's my list:
Mojo: madd maxx, because he's got a magical quality or Beverly because she's so calming and supportive;
We Can Do It: Red Rider because she's a racer chick or Pam because she crashes a lot and still gets back up.
Grover: This would be me because I'm so goofy.
Tux: DnvrFox, because he's kind of the host here since he started the forum.
UK: Stapfam, because he's from the UK
SD: DG, as previously stated
W: Wisconsin Badger for Tom Bombadil
Oh! Dang! Of course Mojo! #1 is yours!

Nope- that's a University of Kentucky Jersey, Lexington KY of which I live in that area and my lovely spouse teaches. But I think who have in mind is around the University of Louisville (ky) who is our biggest rival the Lousiville Cardinals! Gosh if so you sure hurt his feelings :rolleyes:

Careful, son. The message board police are out. You could be hauled in for linear thinking in a metaphorical zone and posting without a poetic license.

Since I posted this I have come to the realization that there are more correct answers then originally planned. That makes this sort of a psychological test as well. But bless you for the "magical qualities" anyway.

Oh no! I guess I was playing the game wrong! (But the way I played it was fun, too!) Just ignore my answers and carry on...

I agree with your choices. :D
Can I do the last ones, maddmaxx? I don't think anyone else is going to play ...

I do wear "jerseys" in the sense that they are modern dry-wick athletic gear jerseys. I must have 8 or so of them, paying an average of around $7-$8 each for them. Most are the Champion C9 jerseys from Target. I like them a lot.
But I don't own anything with a team logo or design on it. They aren't my style, and frankly, would look ridiculous out on the bike trail. Nobody on the trail is wearing that kind of gear. One could get away wearing something funny, or maybe a Wisconsin jersey, but if you are on a limestone bike trail, riding a hybrid, wearing a Discovery kit, nothing could scream "Poseur!" any more loudly.
I actually do have a pair of black baggy shorts with a Wisconsin "W" on them. I admit that these feel a little "gaudy" to me when I wear them.
If I were 20 years younger, I'd love* to cruise around on an english 3 speed in a team kit. That would be hilarious.
OK. I really wouldn't do this, but the thought* of me doing it is funny, and you'd have to be young (and cute!) to pull it off.

I could wear this t-shirt:

It might be fun to ride in a group of 4 or 6 or larger, all wearing team kits, while cruising through the woods on a trail. If they were all the same kits, it sure would turn heads.
Tom Bombadil
02-18-08, 02:34 PM
If I wore the Bombadil shirt, while riding a Rivendell Bombadil, I would have to be singing my theme song:

Or I could be playing this one on my boombox:

Me too, but I need a little motivation.

I think this would be a better upper Midwest jersey:

Where's that "Queen" jersey when we really need it?
OK. Wow. Marvel Comics is really going to do this. We could all be different!

PureHero launches its first collection of cycling jerseys, BMX-inspired jerseys, and performance crew shirts based on popular Marvel Universe characters, including Spider-Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four and the Punisher.
Edit. Never mind. Looks like it never got off the ground. The press release was 3 years ago.

Actually, I would be more likely to wear a West Virginia University jersey than a Wisconsin jersey.

So is it true that if a man and woman from W.Va. get a divorce that they're still brother and sister. (I think I'll go hide for awhile)
maddmaxx
02-18-08, 07:32 PM
OK Solveg, take your best shot at all 12 knowing what you do now. The first group are 1 through 7 and the 2nd group are 8 through 12.
The answers are variable so some of the Jersey's may fit more than one 50+er. After you take your shot I'll list my original intentions. My jersey is #13 and I will post that later.

Q. Where was the tooth brush invented?
A. W.Va. (invented anywhere else...it would be called a teeth brush).:p
Got room for one more in that hiding place, JT?

I'd like a New Jersey...:D
OK Solveg, take your best shot at all 12 knowing what you do now. The first group are 1 through 7 and the 2nd group are 6 through 12.
OK... it's hard! I have to run out today and only have a few hours before my wheel class tonight. But tomorrow I'll brew a pot of coffee and put my thinking cap on!
I really like this game, maddmaxx. It was a great idea.
1. mojo: mojo slim
2.We can do it: Yen
3. Grover: Don't know
4. tux: Stapfam because he wore the 50+ jersey at his daughter's wedding
5. UK: tpelle or TWL, because they're both from Kentucky...but maybe there are more?
6. SD: Digital Gee
7. W: Tom Bombadil
8 Cranky Old *******: Cranky old dude
9. Test dummy: Still Pam
10 Pink Floyd dark side of the moon: I don't know. Tom Bombadil and Blues Dawg are both fans.
11: Liquigas Rick? Because he did his first double century? Red Rider for her first Criterium?
12. Old paint? I have no idea.
It's a lot harder when you can't just pull the answers from your butt....:D
maddmaxx
02-20-08, 08:47 AM
Pink Floyd is for Louis. :eek:
Tux is for Robtown. :)
Cranky Old Bast*** is for Retro Grouch ;)
Old Fart Cycling Club is for Stapfam :D
Lequigas has become a catchall for many of the 50+ members (generic) :p
Pink Floyd is for Louis. :eek:
Tux is for Robtown. :)
Why?
maddmaxx
02-20-08, 08:52 AM

Remember his old avitar? (Robtown)
As for Louis....I just can't get the picture out of my mind of his avitar dead center in the front row at a Pink Floyd Concert..........:roflmao:
