I stand in front of all of you as a novice, I can see that . I'm definitely in the right church....grin.
I'm a big gal,(but this cycling thing is slimming me down pretty fast), and I'm still trying to find clothes that fit me. But I can see that soon I'm going to be doing what all of you have done; movin' the real world clothes to the "dead zone" closet.
And I too LUST AFTER THE "Hill Slug" jersey. Does anyone else find themselves humming the Monty Python "I'm a Lumberjack" song while the crawl up the hill? I'm trying to make the "I'm a Hill Slug" lyrics work .
I'm riding in the Trek Across Maine in 3 weeks; and I plan to be singing that song alot. Three days-- 60 miles a day- from the mountains to the sea. Oh yeah...my first event EVER...I'll have that song hammered out by then.
