Now THAT is cute
I do hope Maidei makes it over to Norway one day (no rush, I'll be patient) wearing her jersey. I'll try to get a matching one for myself.
For those who might think that this will take a long time - I don't think that matters. Nothing's going to happen once she's "through", the fun is in her travelling. I can even see this going on in an almost endless loop.

Yes, the near endless journey. Should be a pretty exciting visual map of her winding/traversing journey and cumulative mileage with strange twists and turns along the way.

Bike Chick-perhaps we can have two jerseys floating around on Maidei just in case she gets a bit too sweaty or something.

Ok, I'll get back to work. I "scrapped" the idea when I saw Susan's little jersey. Originally Posted by crazycanuck

Philadelphia
When she makes her way up or down the east coast I'd be glad to host her here in Philly.

hmmmmm...has it occurred to anyone that the more stuff we accompany the doll+bike, the more it weighs. Not a big deal when cycling Maidei and her mini- bike around. But more on increasing mail costs for next person in relay tour, if a cross-the-ocean shipment is needed. Originally Posted by Trek420

(It's enough for some of us to mail Christmas gifts to different other family members.)
TE jersey can be cleaned and air-dried since it has wicking material, if it gets grungy.
Crazycanuck suggested postcards earlier from each of our local locations. I prefer to send my postcard direct to Susan O. to thank her for her ongoing support of our endeavour. She'll get those postcards and our thx ..sooner!Last edited by shootingstar; 11-03-2009 at 06:02 AM.

The idea was to make Maidei a custom, handmade jersey with team estrogen embroidered on the front and her name on the back.....and maybe a little pair of black lycra bike shorts to go with it. It wouldn't look near as nice as the jersey Susan came up with so I "scrapped" the idea. Originally Posted by Trek420

I thought that having two jerseys would be cute. All women need to have at least a few in their collection.
Staceysue-Ms Maidei is awaiting her next jaunt to Trekhawk's house..Tis a wee bit hot n muggy to do dirt time today so she'll possibly meet T-hawk tomorrow.
