Tell that to Kit ... well, I suppose the lemondrops did stay down and didn't migrate to the hotel...

Hey what do you all do with your Cindy patches??

[cindysue]

That reminds me....I'll PM you and Badger the photo of the Orbea Orca that you can now fold in half (and then put in the trash bin).

thanks for posting for all to see. I would hate to see my Pretty in Pink Dama Race in that condition....

Well, I did the Cinderella (metric) and had a blast! My first event. I trained with a group of women from my sports club. The training was great. I found the experience fun and felt very well prepared. The weather was perfect and the day glorious. Our group left early and got a fast start out.
I exceeded all my goals!! What can I say--I went from being a true beginner to learning how to ride in a group safely, to pace- lining, and learning about road safety. Looking forward to many more miles ahead....

What, no picture of Melody?

Thank you, everyone, for the great time at Fuzios. It was fun, and also thanks to BikerZ for including my pic here.

This was my first Cinderella but won't be my last. Tierra Bella is next.

Was that Glenda's group? She's a love

[whippetgirl]

Hi Cindy,
Yes, it was glenda's group, Club Sport/Walnut Creek.
Great experience!

[jobob]

nice jerseys too.

[whippetgirl]

We were the bright orange/red/yellow jerseys, not the pink Club Sport San Ramon jerseys. Although theirs were nice, too! I think there were more of them.

Well, it's the Seattle contingent finally reporting in. We're back in the PNW and catching up on laundry. Trek, thanks for organizing the dinner, we had a great time meeting everyone. The ride was fantastic, well organized and lots of friendly folks. With weather like that, it was hard to head up north toward home and the rain.

Bikemamma, 'twas nice to see you on the ride as well!

So...what we want to know is, what are those little sharp seed-type things we found poking into our tires when we were loading the bikes back on our van at at the end of the ride? Luckily we were through for the day, but those things are wicked and while Ros. managed to pick 3 of them out of her tires without incident, I wasn't so lucky and ended up with a flat.

That small inconvenience aside, we're already planning for next year!

java - did they have sharp spikes? Maybe goatheads?

That's the culprit! Sheesh, they were stuck on our shoes, our tires and just about everywhere else--nasty little devils.

Hey what do you all do with your Cindy patches??

so far it's on the bulletin board thingy at home. I have an ancient cycling jacket with patches all over it, but I no longer like the jacket so .... need to figure out what to do with the patch collection.

What do you do?

[BikeMomma]

OK Z, so I knew that photo was going to show up sooner or later on the forum... but did you have the blow it up and zoom in quite that close on my face

I really have to learn to stop making faces at cameras... it just gets me into trouble....

Hey, Badger --- think of it this way: it could have been an up-the-nose-shot with zoom!! Just shows the real you -- which from what I can tell is correctly reflected.
