Oh HE DOES!!! I will remind him too next time I see him! :D
They are INDEED power surges at times, it's amazing what a little bit of GRRRRRR can do to help with that 80 mile mark and you're starting to fade. Of course not even that will do it sometimes if you're truly TOAST.

Dear Nike,

Ever thought about selling Nike cycling gear at a Nike store? It could work. Why don't you give that a try?

Sincerely,

A cyclist who regularly shops Nike stores

Dear Athletic Apparel Manufacturers who cater to women,

Size 12 is not an XL.

Size 14 is not an XL.

Size 16 is not an XL.

According to LLBean, major manufacturer of outdoorwear, 18-20 is an XL.

Believe it or not, size 12 chicks don't like ordering XL any more than real XL chicks like getting left out in the cold.

Thank you,
Pooks

Dear Pooks,

YES!!!!! What is up with the random sizing in the cycling world?

Sincerely,

Dear family on the plane yesterday:

perhaps you should put off European vacations until your children are old enough to endure the flight. Start small - build up to 8 hours in the air.

(I should add, I am the mother of 3 under 6 who all fly multiple times per year, but the longest we have attempted is a 4.5 hour flight)

Dear dog,

Please stop barking at the gardener and his leaf blower.


Dear child,

Please stop yelling at the dog who is barking at the gardener and his leaf blower.

Dear self,

Please remember to buy earlplugs to wear on Wednesdays when the child is yelling at the dog to stop barking at the gardener and his leaf blower.

Dear sweet lovely Bianchi Veloce on whom I just placed a deposit-
I know you want to go out and travel the roads instead of sitting in the shop on these glorious summer days. Don't worry, I'll be back to get you soon, and we'll spend many happy hours together!
Love, Your new best friend

P.S. What's your name?

Dear USPS,

Please feel free to deliver my Nashbar order today. :D

Love,

Dear Contractor,

It's me again.

Even though I in general really like you and know you do good work, I think that for the duration of the project, I'm pretty much going to hate you. Okay? Hope that's not too big a problem.

WOULD YOU PLEASE GET A MOVE ON? THERE'S A BIG FREAKING HOLE IN MY YARD. I'D LIKE TO GET IT FILLED BEFORE SOMEONE FALLS IN AND SUES ME.

Thank you.

Dear, sweet GF,

I realize I told you I knew the best way to get anyone into any hobby was to give them the best of one's own stuff and let them have fun...

And I realize I said your bike was sort of a POS, while mine feels like a modern miracle to behold, and somehow manages to coast uphill, defying gravity at times...

but I've put lots of time and money into your bike, so now it works and rides at least as well as mine...

so can I please have my bike back when we ride together? ;)

Love,
Kitsu

hmm, Kitsu, sounds like we have a problem here! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I dunno, anything that starts out with "dear, sweet GF" sounds darned tolerable to me! :D Happy for ya. L.

Dear MP,

Please quit sending me notes about how you're watching the TdF and what's up with so and so, etc., etc., when you know darn well I have been couped up in conference rooms and have no OLN. Somehow logging on to cycling.TV during other people's presentations seems a bit over the top, even for me.

Signed your dear friend having the DTs over no TdF exposure,
SK

Dear SK -

OOOPS. I will shut up now.

You should be here when I know the result and DH does not. It is so hard to not react to ANYTHING.

Love. MP

PS - Come back to civilization soon. We miss you!!!

Dear MP -

Just tell me the highlights. I haven't had time to read all the reports. I need some kind of distillation. What's the really juicy stuff I need to know?

Hoping to be home middle of the day Friday. The gossip here just isn't the same without yawl.
