I hate to ask.... but, since the order isn't sent yet... where is the size chart for the jacket? The jacket might be a nice Christmas gift for Hubby.

I love the shoes your wife is wearing. Are those cycling Mary Janes? Or just cute shoes she likes to wear on the bike?

On the bike she wears Sidi. This is after her first and only hill climb time trial and she's slipped them on afterward to walk around in.
But she is indeed pretty darn cute in them, and she does wear sometimes them on her commute bike when she rides to school. But they aren't cycling specific or anything.

They are cute. One of the women in our group wore a pair like those, so I thought they might be a new style of women's cycling shoes.

OK! I've the last couple of "please let me order late" entries in. I'll be sending the order to the manufacturer later today (Saturday, 10.30.2010). Then we'll all just wait. And wait. Then wait some more.

Hey Curtis?

Again, just wanted to say "thanks" for arranging this order.

Also, will the jerseys be here in two weeks?

Just kidding!!!!

We had a huge bikeforums ride up Glendora Mountain Road on Sat. 11/06/2010 and I was only one wearing a 50+ jersey. Just thought you ought to know. 52 miles, 7,400 feet of climbing, lovely day, sixty or so forumites on the ride.

While you are in the Bahamas cccorlew

It would be interesting to know how many of the jerseys you have sold since you started.

And for Tandemnh-- The 50mph is achievable but only just on a solo but with ease on Tandems- but it does take a steep hill without too many lumps in it.

Think you have an unfair advantage.

I think I've placed between 200 and 250. I know they are all over the states, and some in Canada, New Zealand and Great Britain.

They charger my card today. That must mean something is happening.
Though I'm not sure how I'm paying for our impromptu trip now.

Well, if I get an e-mail from you saying that you're stuck in London and the hotel won't let you leave until you settle your bill, I'll be sure to send the $1500 you ask for...

Don't do that. Yikes.

Geeze! Enough with the itty bitty pictures already. I'm not even 50 yet and I can barely see it!

I've done the 50+ on both a single and tandem... you gotta love speed and pray the wife doesn't look over your shoulder to see how fast you are going.

The thing about going 50+ is it takes DAYS to get the smile off your face.
