BikeJournal.com speed

[SadieKate]

A while back when we had the flurry of posts about bikejournal.com there were comments about the slow speed. Just thought I'd let you know that this thing screams now! I clicked the button to download my journal and immediately clicked on my email link -- file was already there. Faster than the speed of light!

I think the owner now has all the pages re-programmed and it really moves fast. He's got some kind of "premier" membership option coming. It will be interesting to see what it is.

Speaking of: we need to find our Team Captain and have her increase the miles. We've already posted over half her guesstimate and spring isn't really here yet for some of us. I'm thinking 25,000......30,000??

[nuthatch]

That would be me - I was just thinking the same thing. We are closing in on our goal in no time and it's not even the high season yet. What do you think, maybe 50,000? We've reached almost 6000 in a month. That's assuming we don't have new team members (com'on y'all, join up!!!)

Should we have a team logo? Anyone have any picture you'd like to upload (without violating registered trademarks)?

I wondered about 50,000 too......my problem was if we were close, I'm a middle child.....I'd kill myself to try and complete it! (no competition Here!) As for the team logo......maybe the Amici Veloci gals will let us use theirs??....make it a TE Team logo???

Sadiekate etal....would that be ok?

I like SadieKate's avatar - maybe we could change the "Libra" to "Cycle" and use it!

[SadieKate]

I would be happy to help out, but since we are called Team Estrogen, let's ask Susan. After all, we are doing some free marketing for the TE folks. What do you think? Maybe she'll let us be the Team Estrogen CycleChix or something or other.

[nuthatch]

Great idea! How do we contact her?

[SadieKate]

Probably just call TE sales and ask to speak with her.

I checked with Jeff (I think?) just now and trademark issues come into play here, so maybe we can come up with something unique to us. Everyone here is so creative, it should be easy!

I was just cruising around the site. Where would a team logo go? There is already a link to the forum web site, the "club website."

[SadieKate]

I just figured it out by looking at the Amici Veloci team stuff. Since I am the admin, I can see where you can add a logo.

How about using the TE "Rider Girl" instead -- this is clip-art that we've licensed and modified a bit. I can even resize it, give it whatever background color you want, give her different clothes colors, etc.

The rider girl is on our waterbottles, tattoos, jersey, etc: http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=6692

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks, Jeff!! She's perfect! Maybe like she is on your temporary tatoo (with the website address as a plug!) It would be fine as it is unless you need to change the colors to vary the image from your original artwork. Would it work to e-mail her to me? susan1221 at yahoo dot com. You guys are so nice!

[CorsairMac]

That Rules!!! Thanks Jeff et al @TE.....that is so perfect since we all came together coz of this awesome site to begin with!.....

and here here for Nuthatch the captain!!.....Keep up the good work cap'n!!

[nuthatch]

Aw, shucks!!

Glad to see you and snowtulip will be tearing up the trails together down there! Have fun!

Jeff, I copied the TE girl image from the photo of the temporary tattoo on the website - no need to send me an image. Hope this is okay - if not, just holler.
