    Thumbs up Amici Veloci My . . .

    . . . goodness to pieces!

    I now know why Snap has been lifting the martini glass so much lately. You folks put her through the wringer.

    80 short sleeve and sleeveless items, including vests
    22 pairs of arm warmers
    21 long sleeve jerseys and jackets

    123 total items and Corsair’s dream come true. She’ll get her long sleeve jersey.

    I am so looking forward to seeing an Amici Veloci jersey just where I’d least expect it.

    To our fast friends, one and all.

    Oh, really. Don't thank me. I think Jobob, snap, Adventure Girl, Kim and Veronica are the one who started it all . . . and the team was born. They reached out to me. Pretty cool group. And, now look at what their generosity has wrought. We're world wide! I'm just glad everyone wanted to join in.

    Thanks to all of you.--has to be hard work to take care of the logistics. I can't wait to wear my Amici gear and I have no regrets about getting the thermal jacket. By the way, those of you who ordered the vest won't be disappointed. Jobob sold me hers and it's very nice. The front is a light wind-resistant type fabric and the back, a breathable mesh. While it's got elastic at the bottom, the two-way zipper more than takes care of potential "bubble" and ride up. The design looks great, too.

    Wow! That is fantastic! Thanks SK for sharing your story and letting us be a part of this. Thanks for Jobob, AG, Kim, Veronica, and Snap for everything you've done! It was an amazing group effort like Trek said. I will proudly wear the short sleeve jersey and those armwarmers! Next time - I buy the longsleeve!

    Do you remember when we were sitting around after the Top Hat. We were drinking champagne, eating strawberries and talking about, "what does everyone think about a custom jersey?"

    Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would evolve into this!! Amazing!

    What's next? Shorts? Socks? How about a team car!

    Yeah!
    ~~Tiffanie~~

    Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
    It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
    But you don't listen. You just push harder.
    And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
    And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

    Lesseee....paypal gives me a limit of $9,000 and change. That would go a ways toward the team car! It'll have to run on something really sustainable, like grass clippings...snap? snap? Are you hiding, snapdragen? L.

    snap's not here. I'm her doctor, I've confined her to bedrest, with Lemon Drops served by nubile young (but over 21 yo) boys.
