Man, Snappy, you're smokin' us!!! Thanks for the inspiration!

Corsair, surely we can catch her - you have three bikes and I'll soon have two! If I pull one behind the one I'm riding, can I log double miles?

P.S. Our little TE girl looks great!

who wuvs ya snappy?? you know I'm gonna have to go look now - see where I am in relationship to you. Of course, we had snow here so I'm probably out of the top 10 now and will have to claw my way back up to the feet of the Bike Goddesses out there!

Sorry Corsair, thought you needed a little competition! Starting to really find my pedals! My new Specialized practically rides itself (yeah, right, I wish!).
I only have two more weeks of my job to work, then I'm a lady of leisure for a while, before my I head for NZ, so hoping those miles are gonna stack up ...

All right, already. I finally figured out how to post my miles. Now shut up and get on your bikes my fellow team members

**SnappyPix** · 04-12-2005, 12:20 AM

<<Sound of ego being crushed>>

... Sigh, story of my life - had my 20 nanoseconds of glory, then back to the drawing board!
Nancy, you're an inspiration to us all! I shall, as you say, get on my bike - in the vein hope that one day I will whup your a$$!

Hee hee!

I have chosen not to look - that which I do not see...does not exist!

Corsair "Queen of De Nile" Mac

ok - I can't stand it anymore - I have to go look. In my next life I wanna be the oldest or the baby - this whole middle child (I'm NOT competitive seeee,,,I can't even Spell the word) thing really sucks!

**nuthatch** · 04-12-2005, 11:32 AM

Wow! You really are the Bike Goddess! I'm a doubter no more - lead us on to ever more dizzying heights, BG!!! And thanks for joining our club!

**MomOnBike** · 04-12-2005, 12:31 PM

It's raining buckets here in Nebraska. We had our first tornado warning yesterday. I'm stuck inside with much work.

I CAN'T RIDE!

I refuse to look at Bike Journal.

Thank you for listening. I feel much better now. (wiping tears of frustration off keyboard...)

I think BJ is going to be the death of me!

Corsair, I'm the youngest child, but can feel my competitive edge holding out the bike, plonking me on the saddle and pushing me off into the distance with a "go get 'em" triumphant wave!

Surely you've got the stinkiest weather of all, Snappy. Do you log any inside miles or is it outside all the way for you?

Whoops, didn't mean to insult your weather, I just figured you probably have many windy, cool/cold, rainy days to contend with. I listen to BBC4 at work and I'm always listening with half an ear to the shipping forcast and the gale warnings - seems like the UK has more gale warnings than anywhere on earth!

Or would that honor go to the Kiwi girls here?

Nuthatch - you've stumbled across the Brits' favourite pastime - talking 'bout the weather! Thankfully we don't get the extremes you guys seem to get - but that usually means that we have one season really - as you described: windy, rainy, cold! Here in the northeast, it's particularly unpleasant - gales and cold temperatures for large parts of the year! Beautiful countryside, but mainly because no-one wants to live here!
I've yet to sample the NZ weather, still can't get my head round the fact that I'm going to be going straight from our summer to the middle of winter, in the space of a couple of hours - but I think that it'll probably be warmer in Auckland! The average summer temperature where I live is 15 degrees C(59 degrees farenheit!). Whoopee! Time to peel the armwarmers off!
Makes us more hardy - I wear my shorts for around 9 months of the year - just to scare the locals really!

We Brits like to complain that it's too cold (if around freezing) or too hot (above 59 degrees). If it's an inch of snow it's treacherous - and our local forecaster likes to warn us about "pesky winds" (30 mph gales).

My miles are all outdoor ones, as I don't have a turbo trainer - commuting clocks around 45 miles a week, which is a boon!

You're an amazon, kid! I think your miles should count double, at least! Of course, all your summer duds will probably still be warm enough for the NZ winter...

A couple of hours?

Are you going to teleport there or something? She's putting on a brave face, girls - takes nearly 24hrs just for the flying part, let alone all the airport crap. It's pretty hideous, even if you don't mind flying. Still, it's the only way to get there...

As for Auckland weather, there'll still be plenty of cloud and rain/drizzle, but 15degC is more of a wintery temp up there. Check out www.stuff.co.nz/weather if you want to keep an eye on it.
