I'm very bummed out that The Bike Rack isn't within easy walking distance from work (I only have a 1/2 hour lunch break, so can't go very far). How's their gear and clothing assortment?

Thanks for the compliment!

As for the bottle, it's from Richardson Bike Mart in Dallas, and has their logo on the reverse side. (Well, in Richardson and Frisco, too, but I shop at the Dallas location.)

Hmmmmm, Dallas, immediately thinks of JR Ewing and Sue Ellen! Phew, that takes me back to 1978. Didn't Doc Holliday come from Dallas?

Now where was I, oh yes, just thinking of a smart Texas bottle on my bike. :rolleyes:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...302a8c0you.gif I'm sorry Kalidurga, unwritten rule here, hijack my thread and you have to pay up by donating one bottle. ;)

Nah, don't worry, only kidding.

You hijack it all you want.

I'd happily send someone a bottle from my LBS...although I'm hoping for a trade! I am DYING to have a Slipstream bottle...you know, the one with the awesome blue and orange argyle on it!!! :) If anyone sees one...let me know! Can't find them anywhere, but I wanted to tackle a 7 year old girl who had one at the Philly Pro Race! ;)

OMG, I would LOVE a Slipstream bottle!! Yes, if anyone spots those, post here! :eek:

I'll offer up a bottle from my LBS...we have two, but neither are particularly clever or anything, they just have their logo's on them.

Yes, yes and another yes...............pretty please!

Yet another person with a great website, wow, your bike is so personalised, everything pink!

By the looks of it you have such a great big family, really lovely photographs. I am always envious of photos like that, as my family is now down to my son, his girlfriend and my fabulous little grandson and of course my super duper partner..........everybody else is 10' under. :(

Kali--The shop is tiny but it is worth a look-see. Not much of a selection of bikes, clothes, parts, etc. However, the owners are very nice and they have some organized rides up McArthur & around DC (I'm on their Yahoo group list and get the emails). They carry some ladies clothes--I believe I saw some Shebeest stuff when I was there. Their shop jerseys are really nice, and the next time I'm there, I might get one, in addition to the bottle for Sally.

Hey, anyone up for a bottle swap? Maybe we each get five bottles & send them to five different TE'ers? They, in turn, can send you one of their bottles? They'd have to be new bottles, though, to be fair.

Plus a surprise of a RAMROD 2004 T shirt........I read somewhere that they say "Ride Around Mount Rainier or Die"! Had to share this pic with you all, cos that's whats on the front of the T shirt.

Cheers Mimi..............chocolate to follow after October!

Oh, I'm so glad you got your package! I hope the teeshirt fits.

You're probably the only gal within 500 Km that has one of those teeshirts!

(I'm sitting here drinking out of that same bottle myself) :)

I love this thread. My LBS has bottles, nothing fancy but I would love a swap.

A possible SS exchange?

What if we made this the next SS exchange? I know the July/August one is in full swing so how about we use this as the theme for Sept or Oct? Of course we need someone to organize it as well - any volunteers?

Just a suggestion.
