Jeez...that kinda sucks.
Um....MOVE!
Just kidding, I know how hard it is to "remove" a lifer from Alaska. Here's hoping for some decent weather and better cooperation from the Alaska DOT!
Ever think about getting cyclists together for a bicycle coalition up there? A unified voice to help all cyclists?
Hey, I'm wearing short-sleeve jerseys ... with arm warmers.
This cool weather sucks. I just keep reminding myself that it's better than the heat and humidity of the Midwest or the South, and far better than the smog of L.A., Chicago, etc.
I resemble that picture of the midwest :-)
I'll stick to the heat/humidity
Glad to hear about the "no crashing" but sorry about some of the others like "no shorts"!
Oh, and the DOT issues too.
So, any comments on my Hef name suggestions?
Warm air has finaly hit Wisco. So we are one up on ya....
However the massive flooding has kept us off the MTB's.
Wanna trade?
Today was warm, sort of, the 50+ MPH sort of sucked some of the heat away BUT the really frigid bite seems to have lessened a bit :)
Sorry to hear about all the flooding, puts my whining in it's place.
Nope, I'm not moving. I can't take the heat, bugs, floods, humidity or smog. Cold is nothing compared to all of that.
I'm working on getting some other cyclist to help with the cause but I am totally truthful when I say there is a lack of cyclist (commuters/road) in the Valley. The people I normally see during commutes are the 30-50 yr old males who have lost there license due to DWI's. Not really "the cause" type people but I will still see if I can rally some support.
Old Man: some rules for the Hef.
1) I have to be able to pronounce it.
2) I have to know what it means
3) If it is a band, I have to know who they are and like their sound
So keep the suggestions coming! I would like a bike themed type of name this time. I also just started a honey belgium wit bier, need a name for that one too.
Okay; cycling themed.
German Hef: Shiny Bike Hef (think about it; it will come to you!)
Honey Belgium: Sweet Eddy's WitBier
Oldman:
One vote for Sweet Eddy! Any reference to Eddy Merckx and Belgium beer is bound to be a classic!
I'm thinking shiny bikes but not getting anywhere...duh
I do like the Sweet Eddie, it has a ring to it.
Shiny Bike = Shiner Bock. It's a beer brewed in Texas. They make a Hef but I like the Bock better!
I would never have gotten that because it's not available here and never heard of it that I can recall!
So I'm not as "duh" as I was thinking I was! :)
