ooh, we got our jerseys done!

[lph]

My workplace team finally got our jerseys! Gotta show them to you.

This started with a handful of cyclists at my workplace who thought it might be fun to ride a bit together and then enter a race as a team. From there we got to talking about designing our own jerseys. We were promised a little sponsoring from my workplace, as long as the jerseys were available to anybody who wanted them, not just the team. After a long and impossibly argumentative process we finally had a design - and 52 orders! And now, 8 weeks later, we have jerseys. NOT quite the clear red I'd envisioned to begin with, but still - they're highly visible, original, and we got them in time for that first (and possibly only) race we're entering tomorrow!

Here a handful of my colleagues posing in front of the office. The guy with the long sleeves next to me is one of my teammates.

Very nice! Looks like they turned out well.

Good luck on the race!

She's in Norway! I had a an ex-student who was a foreign exchange student from Germany visit me yesterday. (He's attending college in the US and still drops by). He and a friend decided they wanted to fix up a couple of old bikes and ride them. He was commenting on how no one rides bikes in the US. He even had to take a class on biking in the third grade. It really was terrific to see how he is converting his friends to biking here.

You all look so spiffy and happy in your new jerseys!
Let us know how the race goes, and good luck!

[NoNo]

How cool! Good luck tomorrow!
