Snapdragen and I have been tossing ideas back and forth and we came up with another version. This graphic design stuff is hard work! Now, I need to print a test on the tattoo paper and then take for a ride. Perhaps, Mr. Sunshine, you could show up so I can go for a ride?
Looks good - you are going to post a picture of all of you wearing your new tattoos, right?
Depends on where she makes us wear them :D
( nice job, ladies! )
I like it!
What ride length is everyone doing? I signed up for the 50 as I will be volunteering in the afternoon for the Devil Mountain Double and I want to make sure I'm done in time to get to my assigned spot. :p

SadieKate, I loved the name Amici Veloci from when you first mentioned it.
My friends and I are tossing names back and forth and when we come up with one that we all agree on we want to get jerseys with the name. So I am just wondering if you knew of a good company that did this.
Sadie et al: Beautiful! Very nice graphics and it'll look Great on you ladies!
Check out Voler, they do custom jerseys. Not sure of the price though.Quote:

I saw on someone's website that they give discounts to MS teams but I can't remember who that was. If I do, I'll post it.
V, our intent is to do the 75. Don't the routes converge most of the time?
Based on the route profile I would guess that they are together until about mile 35.

We tossed around a lot of names also. I think it was Jo who suggested "Miracle Whip." :DQuote:

Just got direct mail from Terry yesterday I think they do if you call. I've never asked TE if they give a charity ride discount.
Does Terry do custom jerseys??
I see new careers for SadieKate and Snapdragen -- forming a design team to do custom tatoos and jerseys. Really, it has potential. :)
Re the 50 vs 75 mile routes -- in prior years they followed the same course until Moraga, which is probably about mile 35. The drawback to doing the 50 is that you'll join all the 25 milers (by the hundreds) on the way back; it's usually thinned out some by the time you're returning on the 75 mile route. (And all those negative newbie things I vented about on another thread? This is the ride I was thinking about.)
I'll just have to fly by them all then. :D I think I can do the 50 in 3 - 4 hours. 75 will be about 5 - 6. I figure I need to be done by noon to get to my spot on Hamilton.
V.
Yup, Terry gives charity ride discounts - it used to be you had to call your order in to get it, their website couldn't do it.Quote:

Good Morning Amici Veloci:
I've lost the thread that had the link to donate money to the team.....can someone please give that to me again?
Corsair "burning money in her wallet and trying NOT to buy a jersey but do something good instead" Mac
PS Jobob: can you see what you started here?? :D
Beautiful work SadieKate... that's perty enough for a REAL tattoo grrls!
Back of the calf... good spot... flexes nice as you pedal :p
Congrats Amici Veloci - you just went over your goal! Well done!
ps: this is scary - some of you know my Whole Real name now! :eek: thank goodness it all fit in those little bitty boxes!!
I keep telling Jo to raise it. Only one of my sisters has kicked in anything. I'll keep nagging the other two. :)

SadieKate "Does Terry do custom jerseys??"
nope. volerwear does

Love the logo!! will make a great jersey!
We got our barking spider jerseys done here:
http://www.jos.ca/
the guy who owns the shop is Ron Hayman - do a Google search on him - he was none other than the 2004 Canadian Olympic cycling team coach, amongst many other accomplishments in his long career.
And he makes great custom sublimated jerseys without huge minimum orders!! and sign me up for one! :D
oh yeah, and he's in Canada, eh, so like yer 'merican dollar goes just a little further... :rolleyes:
Check it out and have a blast ladies!!
Namaste,
~T~
Sadie:
In addition to the Great Mass Getaway in June, I am also walking in the
9 mile in April...may I borrow your logo to show east coast support?? I've made a million t-shirts out of logo's like these for my kids over the years ...just gotta heat that ole iron right.
karen
ps-Let me know where you all decide to have your shirts made because I am
going to have some made for the Getaway ride for me, hubby, and son
The pledge goal is a moving target. I raise it a few hundred, then a few days to a couple of weeks later V. pm's me to say I need to raise it again. :D
I need to hone up on my Greek mythology. Is it Sisyphus (sp?) who had to eternally roll the stone up the mountain? That target keeps moving.
Yep, it is.
Much better to be Sisyphis, at least he gets to enjoy the walk back down the mountain to start pushing his rock again. Prometheus was chained to a mountain and had his liver eaten by an eagle every day and every night it would grow back. Eww.

Kind of like riding up the last 17% grade at Diablo over and over. :DQuote:

So, one of these days I was going to try to sharpen the edges of the crank ring (I'm not going to count the number of teeth involved). Be sure to post pics of your family and friends! Plus, can you tell us your method for t-shirt transfers?Quote:

Ok, here I go getting teary-eyed again. :)
Sadie:
Hubby buys transfer paper at Staples, (I believe it is made just to do iron ons), he then cleans up the picture and transfers it to the paper via a printer he has at work. We made thirtysomething t-shirts for Great Grade Four when
my kids were in the class.
I really wish I was out there with you all this weekend. Maybe next year us east coasters and mid-westers could get our act together and come out for a TE/M.S. 150...that would be great. When the boys and I do the M.S.
150 here in soaking wet Massachusetts I'll send you some pictures.

Ah, Madam Captain? Another gentle nudge. ;) Just sparing V the effort.Quote:

Sadie - were you asking about tshirt transfers in another post?
Oh, that's right. Wonder if she's taking our logo international?
On the page before in this thread you'll see MassBikeBabe explaing how they do it. Have you done it? I never have. I was thinking I might do a couple T-shirts for my family.
It would be fun to have jerseys some day. Maybe if we do an MS ride next year . . . . in the meantime, it'll have to be t-shirts.
I picked up some of the transfer paper - for colored fabrics. I'll play around and see how well it works.
Cool, I'll anxiously await the results.
Snapdragen, is that a pancake on your guinea pig's head?
It's a bunny with a pancake on it's head. :D
Awww, so cute!
No it's not - it's just wrong.....it just looks wrong! (and gives me the giggles Every Time I see it!!!!!)Quote:
