Amici Veloci - SHIPPED TODAY

[LBTC]

I have a couple extra pairs of size small arm warmers. If someone wants to buy them ($29) let me know.[/I]

I might be interested in those arm warmers, but I was worried they'd be too long (I am very short) and too tight at the same time. Any chance you can do some measurements for me and I'll think on it?

I'm still waiting for my original jersey to get here (please Mr. Postman...) once I've had a look, who knows? I might want something more!

Namaste,
~T~

I'm 5'1" and my other pair of med Voler arm warmers seem tight (I'm such a muscle bound brute....not) but these are fine, length is perfect too. Very comfy and fleecy inside.

I will wear them evey day even when totally innapropriate. Like to Opera and such.

Ahhhh! Posh Frock! I haven't heard that since the local PBS station took Good Neighbors off the air! Everytime I go shopping for a "dress up dress" I think "Posh Frock".

I knew I shoulda brought either the wind vest or the armwarmers with me on vacation. I'll feel so underdressed now.

LOL - Trek could be starting a fashion revolution. Will we see this trend on the Paris catwalk do you think?

You all did a great job with the jersey. The arm warmers are great.

I didn't place an order because I (Like many of us) have odd sizing. If another order is placed can we somehow consolidate the fitting info?
Definitely sounds like a jersey swap is in order!

Glad you had the ambition to put it all together.

I wore my "ensemble" today and boy oh boy did I feel awesome? It is Such a gorgeous jersey and with the arm warmers I just felt so - noticed! thanks everyone who worked on this - I gotta tell ya, this jersey goes right up there with the Team Diabetes as my all-time favorite, break my heart if Anything happens to it, ya'll Notice me when I'm wearing it darnit, jersey!

btw: am I allowed to use that logo for a tattoo?? (just making sure I don't infringe on any trademarks)

[SadieKate]

Gotta start my list:

1) Call Voler for schedule
2) Start wish list for new orders
3) Payment plan for new orders
3) Arm warmer sizing for LBTC
4) Sizing list for jerseys so folks can better guess sizing
5) Items for trade or sale list

Trek/Dita - what was the info about a free page on sbcyahoo? I might need a site to keep this info on. Hep!! Can you PM me? Snap's in HI. Not sure I'm smart enough to build a site we can keep these lists public.

Thanks for the great feedback everyone. During Foxy's Fall Century yesterday, we had riders we'd never met remarking on them. Felt good.

No trademark problems. Totally made up by me. The chainring is simply a silhouette of a Dutch chainring and the guy who took the pic and make the silhouette gave us permission to use it anyway we want. His project started with tatoos also.

Lol. Nice to know I'm not the only one. I was looking at the measurements for some of the armwarmers on TE and thinking "sheesh - I need three different sizes for my arm!" I guess it's better to have them be too loose at the wrist than too tight at the top.

sure you are, stand by, I'm going to lunch and then will be back with my tech support hat. Stay tuned.

If you have internet service you usually have access to tools to build your own website. Mine's a work in progress, nothing like V's or Spazzdogs but easy to learn how to do.

Just go to

https://home.pacbell.net/pagetools/cgi-bin/homebase.cgi

or

http://home.pacbell.net

click on "page manager"

that will get you a window that's password protected

you put in your userid and scroll throught the drop down menue to find what's after the "@" , pacbell.net, nevadabell, prodigy, sbcglobal.net, littleceasarspizzahomedepot.net whatever you have from us.

Non SBC customers you're sorta on your own but you probably have your own program.

at this point you have a choice:
if you know how to use html you can import your html files done elsewhere and they are stored there.

don't know html? don't despair.

Click on "page creator" and follow the directions to create a homepage or lots of them and voila, you're on the web. the good news about "page creator" is you don't need to learn html.

the bad news is you're pretty much locked into a specific format of headline, graphic, text, link, more text....you can import any background or graphics but you're locked to the design grid.

You can click on my homepage for an example of what you can do, it's a work in progress, I apologize in advance for any spelling errors etc.

Also there's no tech support....there's a faq sheet, and some bulletin boards or user groups I think....and for you, you lucky gal you, me.

the one tip i want to share right off the bar is that your first page would be called "index" (this will make more sense when you do it.)

you have near unlimited storage now so can add and link pages to your little hearts content.

but I've learned that, once you build a page or make changes to it there will be a radio button on the bottom where you save it

that takes you to another screen which invites you to save it and reminds you that once you do that the previously created page is gone

then you want to click on the option to view the page
open it up and "refresh".

if you don't refresh it stays at the previously saved version.

Wow! Great job ladies! I love this new jersey, and it fits really well! (Actually a Small could have done the trick but it's still okay.)

I'm going to wear it RIGHT NOW, rewarding myself for having been a good girl and doing all the readings for tonight's class in advance!

I'll get my picture taken in it against the Vancouver skyline soon!

p.s. Wow! This is a fast jersey! I'm not sure if it's the "Fast Friends" printed on my back, but I peaked at 52.4 km/h on that very short ride! (Don't ask me about my heart rate...... ) Ok maybe that 30 km/h tailwind somewhat helped...

[Bike Goddess]

My NEW jersey got its first ride on Sunday, October 16th. I went up Mines Road (off the Cinderella route outside of Livermore near that neat house as the road turns slightly to the left)- 64 miles later and a great ride!

Now for some pictures and more rides.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND PERSERVERANCE. I feel honored to ride in such a beautiful jersey designed by this wonderful caring group!

[BikeMomma]

yeah - but can you spell Albuquerque??

hmmm....quizzed my oldest offspring (8) and "Albakerky" seems to be the consensus.
I don't think he's had that on the spelling list yet.
heehee

AWESOME jersey, gals! Spazz, Snap, Sadiekate (hope I'm not forgetting anyone)...you make a good team. It came when I was in Maine, and I couldn't wait to see it! I actually haven't tried it on yet (too dang busy), but it will be my wardrobe for Saturday's ride, for sure. Looks like it will be ok...I do well with mediums, usually.

too cute - and I think it SHOULD be spelled that way - it would be so much simpler!
