Many Thanks, Amici Veloci Ladies

[Selkie]

My order arrived today and I am so happy I got almost the entire kit. The thermal jacket is everything you promised. The colors are so vivid on everything---jerseys, jacket, and arm warmers. A big thanks to everyone who put this together, from the design to the shipping.

[jobob]

You'll be wearing the jacket and arm warmers real soon, right? :D

[wavedancer]

My Amici Veloce jersey arrived today...Only two days after shipping! I love it and will wear it with pride with all my virtual teammates :D

A big thanks to Yellow and Pika and Lifesgreat and AuntieK for getting them packed and shipped so quickly! Hope to see some of you on the road or trails someday.

Embrace your inner tortoise...

Yellow, did you put that cute little card in each package? Give Pika a big hug from me for all her hard work. And she can give you a big slobbery kiss back.:p

I got a cute little card too! Thanks ladies! Now I'm just hoping someone needs to swap. :D

[mimitabby]

we're happy, our jerseys came!! thanks

[yellow]

It was her idea. She is, after all, the Directeur Sportif of the household! :p She supervised all of the packaging.

[downhilldiva]

Hey, I think I saw those jerseys. Red and Purple? Dang cute! Is that a club? I saw a bunch of them on Little Red and Cycle Salt Lake Century. Cool!

[Tiffanie]

Yaaaayyyyyyyy!!! Our jerseys are here!!!! :D

Are you referring to this bunch of rowdies?

I got my order today! If you don't see me posting for a while, it's because I'm too busy prancing around in my jersey. :D

[SadieKate]

Well, I suspect you're the best one amongst us to do the prancing.

C'mon girls, don't gush too much; the international ladies are going to get upset.

Going to the PO tomorrow to get any/all necessary stickers and junk for Global Priority mail.

Patience.

[luv'nAustin]

Yellow, Pika, Lifesgreat & AuntieK...I am hear to sing your praises! Thank you so much for shipping the jerseys. And a big Thank You to everyone else involved in the project. The jerseys are beautiful!

Wish my fit wasn't quite so snug...guess I'll just have to bike a few more miles every weekend in the hopes of shedding a few pounds for a better fitting jersey! :p

[SadieKate]

While our international club members are patiently awaiting, perhaps we can have another discussion around "does this make my butt look fat?"

The red in the jersey is supposed to be the standard red which should match Voler's stock shorts and armwarmers. Both their Avanti road shorts and their Tri shorts come in red. Will this look good with the AV jersey? Bad? Anyone thinking of trying this ensemble?

[snapdragen]

Hmmmm. I have a pair of red Voler shorts.....I should drag them out.

[SadieKate]

Ooh, the secrets you have been keeping from us!

[aka_kim]

My closet is now overflowing with Amici Veloci gear - only thing missing is socks :p.

Thank you yellow, and Auntie K and Lifesgreat. And thanks to SadieKate for making Amici Veloci real. And to spazzdog for the design help. And snapdragen for all her hard work. And jobob for starting it all. And Pika, of course. Who else?? Thanks everyone. :)

[Trekhawk]

Aaaaahhh is Grass Valley on the other side of the world. I dont have mine yet.:( :(

Maybe tomorrow.....Utah is closer to here than the rest of the places that have them already....I better not see someone from USPS wearing an AV Jersey or there will be trouble.:confused:

[bikerz]

Mine is at the P.O. station - I think I'll have to take some time off this week and get over there to pick it up! Thanks to all the Utah gals (and pup) for all the hard work!

[DirtDiva]

Yeah! What snap said! :p

[GLC1968]

Trekhawk...I'm with you! I don't have mine yet either. :(

I'm trying to be patient...but secretly jealous of the other ladies! ;) :p

[Adventure Girl]

Trekhawk...I'm with you! I don't have mine yet either. :(

I'm trying to be patient...but secretly jealous of the other ladies! ;) :pMe neither and me, too! :rolleyes: I don't have mine, and I'm trying to be patient. But I am OPENLY jealous of the others! :mad:

[Tater]

I don't have mine yet either!! I think the Pony Express got lost in the mountains between SLC and Boise! Hopefully there will be a package in the box today when I get home.

[Trekhawk]

Thanks Ladies - Im sorry you dont have your AV gear yet but pleased Im not the only one.:D

and Holy Smokes may I just say the fabric on the LS jersey is Awesome....I almost (but not quite) wish it was cold enough to wear it just coz I love the way it feels. Very sultry and sexy - kinda like us AV gals eh? ;)

I Loved the little card in my packet - I just want ya'll to know it's now on my frig where I put all the special things: family photos, collectible magnets, and the AV card!

and SK: I Finally found an accesible sign that says "Albuquerque" where I can get my photo taken in my AV jersey for your album.

LAA LAA LAA not listening. Mine better come today or I might sink into Jersey Depression and we dont want that.

Any ladies done a ride in their new jersey yet??? Does it make you go faster?? Sure looks like it would.:D :D

[maillotpois]

Yay yay yay! We got our last night as well. Very cool - so glad I got the vest as well. The PP was happy to have hers - matching jerseys on the tandem are the best.

Now if only I could ride... :mad:

[Brina]

got mine today. thank you so much.

[hirakukibou]

Thanks to all who made these jerseys happen. I love mine. Wish I had gotten another style too. Many, many thanks!

[Trekhawk]

Yipee they came. Thanks ladies I love my AV jerseys. Jobob you were right the Medium fits fine. I got the short and long sleeve and they both look fabulous. Yipee did I mention how happy I am Yipee.:) :)

[jobob]

Jobob you were right But of course. ;)

Very glad you like them, TH !

Well Tater, you know how it is. They probably routed it from SLC to Reno and then to San Francisco and then to Seattle and THEN to Boise. :rolleyes:

Didja get it today?

[wavedancer]

I did my hilly 13-mile route this morning in my new jersey and average speed was 2/10 mph faster!

That's about how things seem to work in these parts, isn't it? Nothing in Tuesday's mail, so I am crossing my fingers for today.

[mtbdarby]

Got mine yesterday too! Absolutely love the graphics and material but am having a wee bit of trouble with the short sleeved jersey.

It appears my "big guns" are a tad too large for sleeves with elastic. After prancing around the house for a few minutes in my new cool jersey, the circulation got cut off in my arms:eek: I have a large womans club cut - anyone want to swap a short sleeve for a sleeveless? Otherwise I will have to try and remove the elastic.

I dont think it would be a problem to remove the elastic. Even if you dont want to do it yourself Im sure someone with sewing skills could do it for you no worries. The Jerseys sure are gorgeous (I love the prancing around the house part). I was going to wear mine for a ride today unfortunately I have to mow the lawn instead so my fashion show will have to wait for tomorrow.:)

[DrBee]

My new AV jersey and armwarmers were waiting for me in the mailbox when I came home from my interview! Fantastic! Fabuloso! Gorgeous! They are awesome! :D :) :D

Thanks for the sizing advice Jobob!

[greenmachine]

I went to the Post Office to check my mail today and my AV jersey and arm warmers are here!! I love the jersey which I will wear on my next ride; I have to wait till it's cool enough to wear the arm warmers though, we're having hot weather in So Cal again...

Thanks so much to all you awesome ladies who made this possible for us!

[mtbdarby]

Trek, it's moisture wicking material and I have a visual of you mowing lawn sporting your new AV jersey! Please post a pic, lol.

I was so darn excited yesterday anyway. My friend surprised me at work and took me for an airplane ride on a 4 seater Cirrus! Now I don't fly well if you know what I'm saying, but I did great and it was an experience of a lifetime! I was still flying from the adrenaline when I got home and there was my package! So I put on my jersey and yes - I pranced - and I didn't even take it off right away. I sat and wrote in my journal first:p

Aw heck, I'm still grinning ear to ear from yesterday. What a rush!

Anyone else have Amazon arm issues with the short sleeve jersey?

[tehj]

My jersey and armwarmers came today! The fit is perfect and I love the color and design. Many thanks to everyone who made this happen!!:)

[pyxichick]

Bwahahahaha! I got my jersey and arm warmers today! It fits perfectly and I'm going to take it out for a spin right now :)

The armwarmers are REALLY nice. I wish it was cooler so I could wear them now.

Thanks to everyone who made this happen. I love my new kit! :D

[Tater]

I got it!! I even got pics of me wearing it on my bike! Woot! Thanks to Yellow, Pika, Lifesgreat and Sulis for shipping party and a big thanks to the Amici Veloci clan in general. You gals rock!

[Trek420]

I got it!! Thanks to Yellow, Pika, Lifesgreat and Sulis for shipping party and a big thanks to the Amici Veloci clan in general.

Watch this space for the announcement of TE AV team on ALC. We'll be riding in style. :D

[Tater]

An edit to my above post, in my new jersey induced excitement, I thanked Sulis instead of AuntieK! :eek: My apologies.

[GLC1968]

Woohoo!!!

My AV jersey was waiting for me when I got home last night! I LOVE it and I really wanted to wear it for my commute this morning but I figured I'd save it for Saturday's large group ride so more people will see it! :D

My husband is very jealous that I have such a unique and gorgeous jersey!!

If there is a reorder, I'll definitely get more stuff...hint, hint. ;)

Thanks so much to everyone involved in getting these to us...TE ladies ROCK!!

[Lise]

WAHOO!!! I have my AV jersey! And the size is perfect!!! I got a men's large sleeveless club. It's loose enough for me to be comfy, and I can wear it alone when it's hot out, or like a vest over a bright blue long sleeve tech shirt I have. YAY!

Thank you, SK, yellow, lifesgreat, AuntieK, spazzdog, and anyone I missed. Thank you Pika for excellent supervision of the above named rowdy humans.

Thanks for letting us all be a part of it.

I, too, am looking forward to more shopping opportunities in the future! Did I hear someone say....socks?!? :D

[CorsairMac]

WAHOO!!! Did I hear someone say....socks?!? :D

there is a poll started about AV shorts - no socks..............yet. Or maybe we could do both if there's enough interest.

[mtbdarby]

CM, where is the poll located? Can't seem to find it...I'm actually working hard today:p

[CorsairMac]

Right here hun:

Thanks for posting the link, Corsair. I didn't see that thread at all. I voted! Black, with longer inseam.

[Bikingmomof3]

I voted as well. I feel so left out of the club. I *need* some AV clothing. :D
