That's serious, bordering on criminal.

I'm pretty sure it is criminal. Imagine washing your face with bleach and getting it in your eyes.

What's next if nobody stops her?- bleach (or worse) in soda or water bottles?...

This is a random whine, but it is cycling related.
My exchange student son, arranged for us to buy team gear from his personal training/coaching company. I was very excited to have it arrive. DH went over with him many times, I wear an x small woman's size... he said, no worry, yes the clothes are for women.
What I got were men's size small bibs, with a woman's chamois inserted in the men's bibs and a men's size small jersey, with tons of elastic on the bottom.
I guess this is a good statement on how few women in Europe ride for fitness, although he should have known better, since he lives in Colorado most of the year, now. I called my son and told him the gear would fit him perfectly (he's a men's small), if he didn't mind the "women's chamois."

I feel your pain..... our team gear is mostly men's sizing. (well - they have women's sizing but we can't offer both because we wouldn't make the minimums.... I think our shorts, though not bibs, are womens) Thankfully they go smaller than a plain small on the most important items, but even the xxs size is a little large on me. I am totally locked out of some things. All the long sleeve things (shirts - jackets - skinsuits) only go to small and are *huge*

We are in Jasper for family vacation this week and by coincidence Lance Armstrong is also here to do a special ride with a bunch of folks who raised $25k each for breast cancer. This particular event was called Think Pink. The route was kept secret because they wanted to keep media and crowds to a minimum.

So I happened to be riding with a friend today when we decided to split up and meet down the road, since I had pretty much used up my legs and she wanted to continue on another 8 miles . . . the peloton came by while I was waiting for her, and boy was it exciting!

First an RCMP patrol car asked me to move over to the side a bit more, and then here came the peloton. The riders were all wearing yellow but Lance was in red. Got a little "hey" nod from Lance and lead riders!

There were maybe three dozen in the peloton, and maybe a dozen more trailing/dropped. I think it was towards the end of their ride, but all looked tired and happy. It was fun to just cheer on the riders and let them know they done good.

You know your massage was good when you forget to leave the tip.

I've never had one that good but I did leave the vet without paying the other day

Are you supposed to tip? (seriously)
