Spoken

So I thought I’d point out that although I don’t get paid for wearing them, I do get my jerseys for free from Mystic Cycle for being their largest “rolling billboard.” :-) [Now hold on there my long distance oversized cycling buddy, you’re discussing how much you got payed, not whether one should be… I never said I wouldn’t pimp for cheap, I occasionally flog people’s stuff just because it’s good stuff. I just don’t like the lack of choice on my part and the large disconnect between folks wearing “team kit” and knowing nothing about the companies involved, possibly only the current athletes. Club jersey’s are OK (assuming you’re a member), Store jerseys are OK (I couldn’t get myself to buy one, but I’d wear it if they gave me one I guess), Event jerseys strike me as bragging most of the time (you always see the “incredibly painful uphill only 1000 miler” jersey, not the “I rode with my kid around the playground 500 times” jersey).]

(Oh, Daniel, one other thing. Corinne watched the last couple stages with me. Having attended the same high school as Floyd may have had something to do with it.) [Now I’m going to expect an invitation to the next reunion ;~). I firmly believe there’s room in the world for the existence of more than one magnificent wife, even if *mine* watched every stage except one (heh) and that was because on this past Friday evening (it’s the Sabbath for us) she had no time to catch earlier coverage of that stage. (That was the stage that she complained about in my previous post.) She’s the best! And I’m sure Corinne is as well. I’d like to point out as a final note, that my chest, back, helmet, shorts, arms etc. as well as prime places on my bike are all for sale. Please get in touch if you’re interested in purchasing… Services can include not only wearing appropriately designed gear, applying decals in vibrant colors, etc. but also me putting all this stuff on and riding to places where foot traffic is at an all time high. Let me know.]
