trucker i forgot that YOU were the original pink-o-later with your Gorgeous Don's uber pinkness. in that case, of course....i love pink. (how's that for some sucking up?) btw, i read somewhere that you were considering dropping the pink jerseys'. don't drop the pink. pink is where it's at man. wasn't spomely recently quoted as saying "pink is the new black?"

velocity, and the rest of the western hunnies, please let us know if there is anything we can do to help with logistics of getting y'all back east, either for a nat or playtime. (of course sweetie pies are welcome too.) stuff like lodging, local transportation, bike shipping/receiving.

talk has started about some pinko's hitting mammoth. are you guys doing that trip too?

wait! is this a major thread derailment or what?!? sometimes i forget about tread-iquette.

You east coast hunnies are so nice! I also wish I was going over there for vermont and west virginia, but that whole surgery thing ate up way too much money! Will you gals be at the championship race in mammoth?

Hey VG-I showed Dave this thread and told him I wanted a custom helmet too, and he is now using it as a motivational tool. He said I can't get one until I place top 15 at a national. :( I may never get my pretty helmet!

I for sure will be at Durango, Idaho, and mammoth so if you or griz are going to any of those, be sure and let me know so we can meet up. You guys should definetely go to mammoth! That venue is so much fun and the courses are great, so start planning that trip!

P.S. Mr. Miagi is cool. :)

I definitely think you can do it :D :D

(But you could tell him that it would help motivate you to hit that top 15 if you had a cool new helmet ;) )

VG-I see you are a master at the fine art of "boyfriend reverse psycology!" That doesn't really work on Dave anymore! I have argued that point already and was shot down. Oh well, I guess I'm just going to have to figure out how to ride fast, and if getting a cute custom painted helmet is my motivation then so be it! ;)

Helmet arrived yesterday......WOO-HOO!!!!!!

Very happy :D

The background blend of all the different colors and the colors where the girls are shooting up is awesome!!! And the Velocity Girl on the front almost looks like a custom made sticker on there...but with that cartoon feel....very cool!!!!

I'll post some pics of me in it after this weekend!!! :D

Hehehe..that's exactly what I love about them :D

Reminds me of when I was younger and would try and play all bad and tough so I could play with my brother and his friends! :p

the girls look awesome! wow, i love the detail - The Velocity Girl badge is great too. Did you take pics of you riding in it?? Tana would probably love to see them as well. Sad that I won't be able to see it in person - the Idaho race would be fun, but chances are I won't be there. If any of you come to the East...you must let Chromegoddess and I know - as she said, if we can be of any help...

Well, the helmet definitely caught alot of people's attention this weekend :D It got lots of compliments, from both the gals and the guys!

If it weren't for one of the guys racing in a pink tutu, I think I would have won the award for "attention whore" this weekend :p

(In case you're wondering, there are pics in the Pacific Northwest forum of Bibs racing in the pink tutu....I believe it was due to a bet of some sort that he lostquite the show I must say!!!!)

Me and the attention whore of the weekend. :D

He made a bet with me 2 seasons ago....he lost and never payed up. Originally it was to be either big bar ends or tassels at the next race. I figured I would be up for it if I lost (I won that race day) He never payed up so I let it out about the bet to his friends and other racers and over the winter the tassels or bar ends turned into a Pink Tutu (tassels with interest? :D )

Bibs(fellow monkey was a good sport) Everyoen was waiting for his next run. :)

I dunno...I think it definitely sticks out - maybe not as much as a tutu, but who else had that shade of pink on their helmet screaming down the mnt? I can't believe you all are racing on dry ground. That will be the east coast in like...5 months. So jealous.

It rained/snowed there the day before.....the ground was moist. It is like packed sand. Super fast for the trail when everthing is set. Actually had a little dust on the shuttle road....but perfect conditions everywhere else.

In a month when we go back there it will be dry, yellowed, and absent of moisture. :(

There sould be a foot of snow there and as soon as it melted it would look like that. My GF is in PA and said teh weather was awsome last weekend.....the snow is pretty much gone etc.

That's only because all the races are in Eastern Washington! It is a treat though to come home with dust on the bike instead of mud :p
