Secret Sisters

**mountainpuddles** · 03-08-2006, 08:56 AM

Hi Sisters, I am looking for suggestions for April. What do you think that our secret sister would like to receive for the month? Perhaps something for the hair, water bottle, or what about a panty exchange? Just throwing things out there, what do you think? Thanks, B

Not panties!!! Cute idea, but I am _so_ picky- I only like Patagonia. Waterbottle is a good idea- you can always use more than one! ;-) Cycling snacks would be a good one. Could "hair" be stretched to include anything that goes on the head?

Panties..ummm...hahaha...

Waterbottle sounds fine to me. In regards to snacks/bars, let me speak to the loverly folks at australia post. I want to find out what foodstuffs we can send overseas.

Ooh, you're right- my SS from Canada said she couldn't send choc here. :-(

But the socks she sent went on their first ride yesterday, _plus_ protected the bikes from hitting each other on the rack on the way there and back.

I think I read somewhere (dang, I really can't remember where, or I'd go looking

) that motorcycle riders have a small bell on their bikes to ward off all things evil, like the p*n*ct*r* fairy, or mechanical difficulties, or even dark SUVs driven by inattentive drivers.

The thing is, they don't work if you buy them for yourself. Someone has to give you yours.

Maybe we could exchange a bell, or a bike angel, or something protective like that?

I like that idea. Something protective. or how about a braclete. We have some cool surf sops here with some neat leater one's.

Bracelets are ok but i don't wear them so a person would just be wasting their hard earned $.

As i was walking to work this morning I thought why not send our secret sister an item from our city/town etc that they can't get in theirs. Even if it's not to do with cycling this time, tis ok.

Thoughts?

ps-i like the angel idea.

I still think the socks could stick around a couple more times too. I can always use more socks.

**SadieKate** · 03-09-2006, 02:54 PM

I'm not taking part in this but how about a water bottle from your favorite LBS or store? I love having bottles from my travels.

**rocknrollgirl** · 03-09-2006, 03:12 PM

I love the "something local" idea, and I love the "something guardian" idea. I race, so I have so many goodie bag water bottles hanging around. A tailsman, I could always use.

( i have gotten the weirdest stuff in goodie bags...we should start a thread on that. Crotch guard caused fits of hysterical laughter in the parking lot at my last race. "back off....I have crotch guard")

Well it cracked us up at the time

It's making me laugh. Much better than the toothpaste at the Tour de Tahoe.

**Brandi** · 03-09-2006, 07:56 PM

yes on the local water bottle

**Selkie** · 03-10-2006, 12:50 AM

I like all three ideas:
1. waterbottle from local bike store;
2. something bought local or unique to a place where you live/work---like socks or saddlebag from a LBS;
3. guardian angel (small bell, angel on a bike charm, etc).

By the way, I'm all for sending nifty socks. "Sock of the Month Club"

No panties, please.

**Nanci** · 03-10-2006, 01:43 AM

I can always go for more socks! I have three nice water bottles, and about a million schwag bottles. There are so many they live in beer bottle cartons in the laundry room...

Well,
If we decide on socks again....I have to let my s.s know that I am a mtn biker, so send me rough and tumble socks...my first pair are so beautiful that I am afraid to wear them on the trails!!!!!

I got all excied because they match this sports top that I have and then I realized, hey wait a min.....I can't bike in that stuff in the summer, it will be ruined first time out. I guess underneath all of that dirt, there lurks the heart of a girl somewhere.

LOL
