Funny you should post this now. Out on a ride tonight, one of their members barely inched past me without a sound, a nod or a look. Course he had both ears illegally plugged with headphones and must have had blinders on also. I passed him later and looked his way - nothing. He passed me again as I was slowing to turn around and again no acknowledgement. It wasn't like this guy blew past me. We were riding almost exactly the same speed and when I passed him he was standing up on his bike stretching. Weird. Their club is all about humor, but this guy had none and his bike even had the logo on it.

I, on the other hand, had a delightful time riding behind discussing his lack of manners out loud. Kind of a one-sided conversation but I had fun none-the-less. I probably saw a dozen other riders tonight and everyone else managed to wave, smile, nod or wiggle their fingers.

Oh thats a bit sad. Anyone that can wear a jersey with vomiti written on it should have a sense of humour - perhaps we can report him to the republic.

I love getting out on my bike but I feel like a bit of a fraud all decked out in my gear and yet going so slow. I like funny jerseys they make me feel less of a fraud and I like the idea that perhaps Ive given someone a laugh for the day. I thought maybe this one would be up my alley.

I agree! You would think somebody wearing a jersey like that would appreciate comments. Kind of like Irulan and her socks. What's the point otherwise?

hey, my other half saw the jersey and has this to say:

GREAT! Its a Quote from Terry Pratchett's "jingo(famous uk author of the discworld series) - where he discusses the origins of the famous quote - and how he must of worked his way through the "V" words to get it and one of the lines is

"Veni, Vidi, Vomiti"= I came, I saw, I thew up.

The Other (more approprite) is:

"Veni, Vino, Vomiti"= I came, I drank wine, I thew up.

Where can I get one!!!!!
"

Now i know what to get him for christmas...

Vomiti works, it's a real Latin verb and it even has the correct ending.

Vino actually means in the vine. It's a noun and they have put the ending on it that indicates a prepositional phrase. There isn't a verb that means to drink wine.

If they made it vini (plural and the subject of a verb) it would mean wine drinking, but it would still be a noun.

Hey Crazycanuck - just wanted to let you know that my jersey arrived today and I love it. I also scored a free ball cap and 3 temporary tattoos to boot (got to be happy with that).

A few months ago I ordered their jersey and a water bottle. I really like them! They also sent a matching cycling cap and some temporary tattoos. The envelope I received in the mail was addressed by hand to "Komrade Cari". The guy doesn't even use a postage meter. I think it's pretty cool.

The team jersey is bright red like deoxygenanted blood, with drawings of red blood cells all over it. Inside the center pocket it says:

KOMRADE!
WHY LOOK HERE?
YOUR DESTINY
AWAITS YOU
IN (sic) THE ROAD!

I hope all of you who got the jersey like it lots and wear it proudly.

Saludos,

~Cari

Rats, no smalls or mediums left in the womens jerseys!

As to venting about work, I say have at it!! We all have bad days---if it isn't the deadlines, it's the politics or more often than not, OTHER PEOPLE (be they students, bosses, "customers," coworkers). At the risk of sounding like a dinosaur, I would love to be a stay-at-home wife and spend my days riding my bike, hiking, reading, volunteering, playing with my golden retrievers, etc. I've been a "professional" for 18 years, and am counting down the 13 years and two months I have left until I can retire at full pension.

I like my job and my paycheck, but my outside interests are how I'd much rather spend my time.

Ooops sorry mickchick I got the last medium they had. You should email them though maybe if they have enough interest they will get some more womens jerseys.

Im with you on the outside interests before I started cycling I was thinking of returning to work when my kids were all at school. Now I have been bitten by the cycling bug I just think who needs work when I will be able to ride every day. Yipee now I just have to get my youngest off to school and my dream will be realized.
