Wanted: Clever Team Name

[quint41]

I'm putting together a team for the MS Bike Tour in Connecticut. We are mostly single middle-aged riders of all levels and abilities. I want to give us a fun, clever, laugh-out-loud team name, but I need the help of some very clever people. Anyone want to take a stab at giving us a name??

While I'm on the subject, if any of you are interested in joining the team, let me know! I'll let you know when the team is posted on the official website so that you can sign up. And we'll also be getting together for training rides when spring gets here!

Thanks!

Louise

I just saw a show on the Discovery Channel that might work:

Plastic Surgery Disasters.

[mimitabby]

The funniest letter of the alphabet is P, a name with 3 P's
would be funny; like Potbelly Packing Pagans, or Persnickety Pretentious Pedallers
or Practically Pathetic Pedallers.

My last team name was Bonzo Boeing Bikers.

I love the one my neighbor came up with for our ride across Nebraska last year:

[Bad JuJu]

All hilarious team names, you guys. Divingbiker, I often hear that witch-on-a-bicycle music from The Wizard of Oz playing in my head when I'm flying down a hill.:eek: :D

My sister-in-law is a radiologist and she got together with her female colleagues to play golf. They called themselves Docs Without Rocks.

Hey, How'd you get my photo diver LOL... I swear that soundtrack plays through my head EVERY time I get on the Navigator:p

[ClockworkOrange]

MS Bike Tour Connecticut.................an anagram for you:

Buttock's Emetic Unicorn

Well, it's different! :rolleyes:

Let's see ...
The plastic surgery one might offend some of the more sensitive members.
The team will be mixed gender, so I can't go with the Spinster name (although I love it!)
Docs, we are not, and as mentioned before, some members do have rocks! :p
I do sort of like Pathetic Pedallers, though!

Here are some others on my list:

Team Anti-Gravity
Shake & Rattle Rollers
Riding from the Reaper
The Hartford Wheelers (instead of Whalers)
Team Saddlesore
Team Re-Cycle
Team FOG (Freaking Old Group)
FACT (Fat *** Cycling Team)
Wrinkle Riders
Past Perfect
Cycling Geezers

[Duck on Wheels]

or Bucket Connecticism Rout? or M-Bucket Science Icon Trout? or MIT Scenic Bucket Contour?

I think the anagram idea is great. You could have loose letters somehow and do like on the John Cleese series "Faulty Towers", changing the letters around each day.

The wrinkle riders idea also triggered an association: Anybody remember the book "A wrinkle in time"? It's sci-fi for kids. I think I read it when my Mom was on the purchasing committee for the children's library -- she used us as consultants. Anyway, a time wrinkle is (as I recall) an instantaneous way to do space and/or time travel. So as Wrinkle Riders you could be taking time travel short-cuts.

Team Re-Cycle
Team FOG (Freaking Old Group)


my two faves from that list.

[emily_in_nc]

Team Grumpy Geezers :D

~Emily

[makbike]

How about "Cogs-R-Us" ?

[AutumnBreez]

Team Grumpsters Union of Cyclists :p

Team FOG
Team Recycle
Those two are pretty good I think....can see the recycle triangle on jersey

[hellosunshine]

highy entertaining post:)


even better,had it whirring around my head as i went into bed and it worked better than counting sheep-i was out like a light!


there is a GB team "fat birds dont fly"-they are actually a talented bunch,thats the name of the shop they represent.

[singletrackmind]

Mixed bag, eh?

Guess Team Sore Poodies is out

and y'all aren't old enough for Team Shake, Rattle and...........Fall Apart.

Team Recycled Cyclers?
Ok, maybe not.:cool:

[7rider]

You could play on the names of the riders.
I did an MS Ride for several years with members of the Lupo family. Our team was the Wolf Pack.
Think of some synonyms for "team" - e.g., pack, group, gang, etc.
Do folks work together? Have some sort of affiliation with each other? School? Church ("Holy Rollers" came to mind for that one)? Age range (that's why I like FOG, but Team FACT is pretty clever, too)?

[hellosunshine]

JUGGLE LETTERS?


my mum and dad are called frank and pat,known as fat and prank......there again,a big team and loadsa members etc etc.

[roguedog]

Hmm..

Wobbly Wheelers
Team Lost
Team Wrong Way
Team Last Call
Team Lanterne Rouge
Team CoP (Consterned organization of Pedalers)
Team Loose Screw
Team CT (Confused Treadlers)
Team PP (Poopeed Pedalers)
Team No Name
Team Which Way??
Team Bottom Bracket

uh.. thks i had fun with this one

[BookGnome]

How about 'Mixed Nuts'? Everyone could also have a nickname -- Peanut, Filbert, Walnut, etc. etc.

[quint41]

I love reading your ideas!!

For some background - this is MOSTLY (but not all) single folks between mid-30's and mid-50's. Male and female. Divorced and never married. There are 2-3 married folks riding with us. I probably won't know exactly who's riding with us before I order jersey's (people can join the team right to the last moments), so a play on names won't work well.

You will all love this one -- complements of my sister -- she suggested we call ourselves Team Fagowi. I asked her what the heck that's supposed to stand for.

Team Maillot Jaundice

(a play on Maillot Jaune, or "yellow jersey"). You could all wear yellow jerseys with your name in iron-on felt letters. Fun AND visible.

I'd like to say I'm clever enough to think up the pun, but I'm not. In this years Race Across Oregon, there was a 2-person team that called themselves Team Maillot Jaundice. I thought it was hysterical. But then again, maybe I'm easily amused.

I really like that one, said it a few times to myself. I've gone on a few group rides and hung on for dear life making sure I didn't get dropped because I've not known where the fagowi.

[Pedal Wench]

I don't get it:o

[Wahine]

You have to say it a certain way...

Where the fa ga wi?

with kind of an east coast accent.:p :p

Fuggedaboudit!

[Kano]

Are We THERE Yet?

[PinkBike]

love the Maillot Jaundice
i was on a bowling team once who called ourselves "Poor Excuse"
we were a total poor excuse for a bowling team
and if youre old enough to remember the tv show F Troop, the indians were the Heckowi tribe, as in "where the Heckowi"
