Waterford Factory Tour and Ride
I know many of you will be suffering through the Horribly Hilly. Anyone going to do the Waterford Factory Tour and ride on June 14? Mr. Wiswell and I are in, but he's prefers shorter distances, so we are riding 45 miles after the tour.

When we hit out midlife crises, we might actually get a Waterford or Gunnar.

Hey there! 
I have fantasized about getting a Waterford or Gunnar. What makes them midlife crisis bikes!?!?!
PS - I just noticed the (new?) wider range of smileys available, hence my gratuitous overuse of the smileys. (Fun fact: BF limits us to 10 smileys per message)

Touché. I'm such an incurable cheapskate bottomfeeder, no wonder I'm hooked on C&V. I'll probably never get a Gunnar or Waterford unless someone is throwing it out/giving it away.
I'm doing the HHH on the 14th, but enjoy the factory tour and post-tour ride.

I'll be channeling my inner (tiny, overweight, weak!) mountain goat that day at the HHH. Please be sure to check the dumpsters out back for something in a 56... you know, just in case.

Now, which of the BFNICs can lay claim to that kind of accomplishment!
We may not be able to achieve 20+ average, but our proportional speed to cost ratio is really high!

The Ladies Raleigh Sports was a CL freebie I picked up for my wife last fall, but I bumped the thread with an update because she just rode it for the first time. link to thread
That's right - best bang for the buck!
