SK - I meant to post this for you ages ago - when we were in London, I thought of you having just built your first set of wheels (http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=14252&highlight=wheel), and I had to take these shots for you! :D

64 spokes!!

3683

3682

you know - I've seen that ferris wheel before, but I don't think I ever noticed how much it really does look like a bicycle wheel!

Oh . . . . my . . . gawd! The challenge!

I'll have to ask John if he can get a rim with 64 holes. Maybe not.

I'm trying to figure it out. Three-cross? Stop it - stop it - stop it. :p

But probably nothing compared to organizing custom jerseys and buffs!

Heh- I thought you meant you had found SadieKate a CEO to date.

I'm sure I counted 64 spokes on this one. It's still big, but its on a bicycle.....

Yeah, but the rims aren't red. Probably not worth the effort.:D

She doesn't need a CEO. SK's got Bubba. He's perfect to follow in a headwind, just the right size, nice calves...:p

Although he's not bad to have behind you either. He always knows when I need to blow and go, so I don't worry too much about hitting him. :p
