Shouldn't there be a preposition in that last sentence? I mean, it could be an american vs. kiwi English thing, but the last time I checked, rooting someone and rooting *for* someone were quite different concepts!
(Feel free to give me a virtual dead arm - I can never resist teasing people.)

wellllll now that would depend - since I want to be sure Audio got her rides in *rooting Audio from the sideslines* would be correct. I wanted to be sure she wasn't just standing around doing nothing (like me) but was actually getting out there and riding!
and since I was riding along with her in my mind - I guess I couldn't be *rooting For Audio from the sidelines* coz I wasn't there either...I was mentally riding with her!
*cigh* now I guess it's My turn to be dead armed (?? deadarm??) LOLOLLife should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

CM - I got in some rides, but with the heat, not as many either day as planned. But, y'all will still be proud. I did a ride yesterday that went through the heart of Atlanta - which has normally scared the be-jeezies out of me, but instead of driving to the trail that I usually use to build miles, I rode my bike. I took a shortcut, so I only ended up with 92, and it was just too hot to do much more. Then today, I led a women's ride, and my course was 52 miles. But, it was about 95 degrees, and the ladies mutinied, so we cut it short to about 40. It was still a blast though. On the last group ride I did on this route, I got dropped about 10 miles in, but not this time! Yippee for me!
Is it just me, or can y'all check the club's stats? I get timeout messages, so I can't really check up on my progress!

No, club stats are really iffy - we just have to hang in there until the new server is up! I didn't log any miles this weekend because I was at the Downers Grove USPRO Criterium. What a blast seeing all those big names riding that 1.2 mile course (with eight turns!). And Tina Pic won her 4th Elite Women's National Championship!
