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.

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.
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!

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.![]()

Yeah, then all the ride I'd hear "Yeah right, so you drop boys but this is a MAN on your left dropping YOU"
But I'd prefer a simple "smile, you've been "girled" by a 53 year old.

I think it is great.
It is a group of hard working, dedicated girls(looks like tri girls) who are proud of being strong.
Think about it, we have had plenty of threads on here about CHICKing a guy. This is what it is.
I love going out on the fast group rides and giving it my all(26-32mph rides). I love even more, hearing after the ride, how strong I am from the guys.
A lot of guys can drop me, especially when the pace gets over 30mph(if it is a sudden jump to that pace, my acceleration sucks. but I can gradually get there and maintain it in a pelaton just fine).
But I know I can drop a bunch of guys out there also, I have the endurance to work in a paceline in the mid to high 20s and I love knowing that I can drop some guys.
So yes, these kits might not be for everyone- but for the hard working girls who put time in and are just as strong if not stronger then some of the guys out there- it is great!
I agree with Emily. This reminds me of when I was mountain biking with a group of guys regularly while I lived in El Paso (talk about macho country!). I led several rides after a while, and one of the guys (and older gent) gave me a sticker that said, "Girls Kick ***". It was a badge of honor. I put it on my bike.![]()
If I were younger and fitter, I was so totally wear this.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Cycle! It's Good for the Wattle; it's good for the can!
