That's the Diabetes Tour de Cure jersey I earned for my fund raising.

I wish I had a mountain biking photo, and this is not my favorite Bike Friday photo since it's more from behind (and I have my temporary fill-in icky helmet on), but it's the only clear and semi-closeup photo I could find at the moment. Here I am on my Bike Friday Pocket Crusoe (it looks so tiny, but really rides nicely!)

My usual riding partner and I always joke how they look like the kids from the Sound of Music.

OK, I'll wear a blue print She Beest Jersey. What will you wear?

Feels like high school all over again :p

I just found this. Wow! You all look so good. It's nice to put faces to names.
This is such a great thread, I thought it needed to be brought up current. I've got a new camera that I'm playing with so I'll get some pics this week and post 'em.

How have I missed this thread?

Thanks for all the cool pictures!!!

Here's mine from the first day of this year's Grand Tour, somewhere in upper Vermont:

the REAL problem tho was the wind... it was a head wind the entire climb... with gusts up to 50mph. It was actually scary... and many, many people turned back. By the time we got to lunch we had 10 minuted left before they were shutting it down... us and everyone else who'd just arrived! :eek: :rolleyes: took us just over 4 hours to do the 50 miles...

THEN you turn around... tailwind and downhill... there were 5 mile stretches where we'd be doing 30mph and not pedaling once! THIS pic was on the way back! LOL ;)

Well, not my bike, but a recent picture from our Trek Travel tour in Tuscany.

Silver, you have a beautiful position on your bike -- looks like it fits you to a "t"!

This is a picture of me threading may way through the rocks on my recent MTB holiday in Spain:

I loved that trail and the novelty of riding on dry dusty trails
(Hope it works as I couldn't get it to work as img)
