    Team CSC's "inspirational" wristband

    From Velonews.com: Rest Day Notes. Scroll down to the next-to-last report titled "CSC joins wristband-wagon". I think I want one of those!

    Exactly! I e-mailed the webshop at CSC's site to ask if the wristbands will become available to the public

    I think that those are the best wristbands ever! Sorry, Lance...but the motivation of seeing "Harden the **** up" on your wrist has got to be great! Especially now, since it was Stuey's saying.

    Well, I've already gotten an auto-response from the webshop guy at the CSC website - He's out of the office until August 1st (but "I will check my mail, sometimes during the Tour De France"). I'm going to try another contact link at the CSC site, so I'll let y'all know if I hear anything.

    If CSC won't sell them, I wonder if you could get them made on your own? LOL. It would be worth it. We could do them with Amici Veloci on them, too. Maybe in purple.

    "Harden the **** up!" is the tagline for Australian comic Ronnie Johns' character "Chopper", who had a special last year called the "'Harden the **** up, Australia' Tour." The Velonews article says that O' Grady brought them to the team in London, so I doubt that CSC is responsible for their production, but rather they are in some way connected to Ronnie Johns in Australia and Stuey brought them with him.

    Googling "silicone wristbands" brings up plenty of choices to have your own made (and yes, I want one).

    ETA: And here they are! In Australia! Group order?!?

    ETA,A: I did a mock order with 30 wristbands, and the shipping charge is $12.90. The cost of the band itself is only $5.25. Might very well be worth a group order!

    I'd get in on a group order for these. I'll wear it on my left wrist, since my right is already tattooed with a motivational phrase.
