We Beat The Guys

[CyclChyk]

hey i'm a 20 something gal and dropped a boy once... so it was a couple times on the same ride and gave my ego a HUGE boost. i think i bragged about it too.

I'd be braggin' if I was a 20 something gal too............ Oh wait, that's not what you were braggin' about.....

<sigh> getting old just plain sucks.

I've dropped a water bottle, food, my sunglasses... Thom dropped his cell phone down a drain.

That definately sounds more like the kind of dropping I do.

For now.

[Veronica]

I've seen bird droppings, cow droppings, horse droppings...Some name dropping.

Why are some droppings referred to as scat and others as dung? Predator and prey? The prey should probably pray.

i asked the same thing to the biologist i work with. her answer: it just is.

Veronica "I've seen bird droppings, cow droppings, horse droppings...Some name dropping...."

yes, I'm dropping in and maybe we'll drop this

or impose a restriction that you are not allowed to post epic descriptions of dropping guys or chasing cars until you have been officially verified on a ride by at least 3 TE gals.

Then you'd get some kinda "te approved" icon or something.

That way we could say with certainty "yep, V could really do that" or "heh, troll, no way Trek could catch up with a guy.

[velogirl]

C'mon, ladies! Has anyone given me a "TE Approved" icon? Or anyone else on this board for goodness sake? Believe her or don't believe her but let's quit picking on her. I frequent this board because I thought there were kind, sensitive women here.

Regarding discrepencies in her story, I believe that many women on this board embellish their posts. It's human nature. Life itself isn't that interesting so we spice it up a little, right?

ps -- I've been grunged out on my mtn bike and dropped a bunch of guys on road bikes who (to a 20-year old) look all pro. And I've had kids on mtn bikes drop me when I'm on a road bike. It's not impossible.

[Grog]

I agree with Velogirl, let's all calm down.

I knew a girl in her early twenties, on an old clunker of a bike, who'd climb up the Mont Royal crazily fast, leaving all the middle-aged guys with their brand new Kuota carbon bikes quite ashamed and feeling like wannabes. She was not especially a cyclist but a hell of an athlete generally. These things happen.

I'm not especially fond of the 'guys are stupid, let's throw rocks at them' style (it's a line of design items with this logo on them), but if you don't like Cali's posts, you can either ignore them, block them altogether, or share your concerns in a respectful manner... And if she's a guy, well I feel sorry for him having to impersonate a kick-a** woman in his free time, instead of kicking a** in his own skin, but maybe it's therapeutic.

So let's move one.

One of the guys I ride with dropped his brand new Rudy Project sunglasses down the pit toilet hole in Tahoe....

[NJBikeGal]

Maillotpois...I just had to remark on your tag line...

Denis...there's some lovely filth down here!

LOVE that movie!

Hooray for Monty Python.

Well, I'm going to say this but probably shouldn't. A forum is a forum. If certain people have a different opinion than you do so be it. If they express it in a different way so be it. BUT that does not give you the right to basically tell them to "Shut Up". I take exception to that.

[Triskeliongirl]

I don't think anyone is telling anyone to 'shut up.' A situation has come up in which some hostile posts have appeared on our normally ultra supportive board. As a group, a community really, we are discussing how we think we should handle it. I am sorry if you interpreted my comments as a suggestion to shut up, they were intended more along the lines that I thought we should give her the benefit of the doubt and not post hostile things back, in the spirit of keeping this board a friendly place, that's all.
