I had that same question when I first read what her name was. I had my laptop then and searched online and did find a site that had a recording that let you hear how Maidei was pronounced. I am on my desktop now and cannot find the site. But I remember it sounded out like May-Day, with the emphasis on the second syllable and the first syllable was said quicker, almost like M' day.Originally Posted by channlluv
Meanwhile while searching I came across this song by an African composer titled Maidei.

On another note: Trekhawk is that a cone on Fergus' head?!

Catchy song! And it sounds like he's singing the name as "Ma-eeDAY".
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Yep and it comes off today thank goodness. Looks a bit like a halo in that shot but take it from he is no angel...gorgeous but no angel. Originally Posted by wnyrider

How beautiful! So lush and green. What a great place!
The leaves have lost their luster and it's turning from vibrant fall to brown, dreary winter here.
Maidei, if you do this the right way, you could enjoy summer everyplace you visit all the way around the world!

Cyclegoddess..are you ready for ms Maidei? I believe she's going to make an appearance in Canberra soon!
Let's see, will she meet the PM
BTW...the only reason Perth's so green atm is because of all the ($($($( rain we received over our winter. At least our weirs are at a nice capacity!
Can't say the same for those over east though. Bushfires are already burning in Vic

I had to look up Canberra - it looks like it would be a great place to visit. Maidei is so lucky . . . I found a picture of the bike path to Weston Creek (look! the guy's riding on the left side of the lane!) and I want to be there, right now:
