sweet taste of defeat

DH and I got a kick out of your story and pictures, Mimi. Our fave is the one with you going flat out with the streamers!

YEs, that was the podium picture, I was just the flower girl. I even pretended to kiss the sweaty champ. The second place guy had already gone back to his office. He clearly had no idea that he did as well as he did. I had to chase him down to give him his prize. and third place, standing thereright below the podium. It didn't take people long to figure out that orange bikes are faster than magenta bikes which are faster than yellow bikes. yes that was the fastest bike.
Our rotating trophy for the record went from our building to the building next door, as the 25 mph speed broke last year's record and dethroned the record holder.
And yes, we'll definitely do it next year.

Mimi, that is such a cool story and what a great way to share something with fellow workers to break up the same daily routine. The pics were great, love your grin (or grimace?)..such a riot...when does training for next year start?

Mimi - Loved your story to go with the photos. Who woulda thought radar guns would come in so handy? I wish other people around here rode bikes so we could do something similar on our lunch hour!

I like the way you cut up the shrub behind you for the flowers.

The Buddleia was kind of handy. (they are amazing weeds!)
