DH told me about this over dinner. Apparently one of the young women in the SD Triathlon Club who is friends with DH's best friend is starting this new site. I just went and checked it out, but there's not a lot of content yet. She does, however, have these fun-looking jerseys and shorts on order.

I think I might wait a bit and see how it develops. I do not drop boys. I can barely drop old men on mountain bikes. But I like the attitude.

I thought some of you - those who DO drop boys on a regular basis, you know who you are - might get a kick out of it.

Love it A bit committing maybe, but love it! And I love your comment about old men on mountain bikes

Once I got dropped on the Santa Ana River Trail (if you know that one) by a man on a mtn bike with knobby tires. I heard him coming up behind me. As I tried to keep up, he told me stories about how it was his 70th birthday and to celebrate, he was riding 70 miles and then going home to his wife and champagne.

I only hope to be that cool. But I've been dropped by an old dude on a mountain bike

Back in mid-late 80's I was riding the back bay in Newport Beach Calif. Its a flat winding road and can be technical with all the hairpin turns. I was training, riding alone at around 24MPH, then I heard this whine of tire approaching me from behind. Really too dangerous to look back so I cranked up the speed to about 26MPH, That was all I had... and the whine just kept getting louder... The guy managed to pop me and when he passed, I realized he was riding a flat bar mtn bike with knobby tires. What an animal!! I never seen anyone like that since that time.

I realized then that there will always be someone who is going to be faster than you no matter how fast or good you may be. The bad boy (silver haired) managed to pop me hands down. I swear he was going around 28MPH...

I just toot around these days... I'm more than okay with that.

I love the notion, but it would only be in my dreams. Although I have dropped boys a time or two - I was having a really good day, and they were having a really bad day. So it makes it even worse for them, "even BMcc dropped him, with her bad lungs..." But I wouldn't be so bold to get the jersey.

She should try road racing

Dropping boys is fun!

If I showed up on the Saturday morning ride, wearing that kit....I wouldn't drop the boys. They'd fall over, laughing.

Ditto!

[Biciclista]

look out for those old men! Some of them are really strong riders.
I guess I can drop a 3 year old too..

I dropped my older brother on Sunday.

I was letting him try out on kayak, he paddled up to the shore and held out his hand so I could pull him up. I had my slr in one hand and was bracing myself to haul him up with the other hand. He's a bulky guy - not fat, but muscled/thick...

So when he started to pull me & my camera into the water - I opted to save the camera, and let go of him.

He fell into the water.

Ooops.

And I've been passed by the old guy on a mountain bike many a time... I just pretend they're better at cycling 'cause they've had sooo many more years to practice.

LOL. That pretty much sums it up for me.

I think that's awesome! When I was a newbie, I used to drop boys all the time...but that's because I would ride with the other newbies even though I was already in really good shape (just not from cycling).

Now, not so much.

Though, even if you can drop boys, I'd think that wearing that would be like putting a big ole target on your back!

[Tri Girl]

argh...the teacher in me wants to capitalize that i so bad!

and I don't even know if I could drop 3 year olds on tricycles... but I'd like to think I could.
