    my opinion... RACING SEEMS BORING! cause i had to watch it for like, 10 years straight!(and i mean years!) cause all we had is CBC, and there is nothing good on, and on saturdays there is hockey/football/bicycling, so thats what i got to watch. *gets sick* not anymore, thank god, cause now we watch movies, no "CBC"

    10 years? Dang...I can see where it'd get boring...

     

    But the Tour is actually very exiting, mostly because they are so talented and very very stong and riding increadibly fast. Maybe it's also interesting to me because I know how painful it is... :bow:

    Cool! Yeah, I do a lot of distance riding (just finished a fundraising ride in Maryland, total 125 miles over 3 days. HILLS) and tried racing. Only did one race. Won. And lost. Being the only girl in my age group, all I had to do was finish. :bow:

     

    I've been thinking of doing a triathalon, but I don't run. :bow:

     

    Good luck with it tough! :nono:

    That's great! I haven't done too much riding this summer. I've been so busy at work that I've only been able to put in between 35 and 60 miles a day. However, things are

    easing up a bit, and I might be able to take a few days off for a good trip. I was planning on a nice trip around Lake Michigan this summer - 1300 miles in two weeks, but I may have to settle for a 600 mile trip in five days. I try to take at least one long trip per summer. I just got a new bicycle computer for training intervals, and I might replace my 23mm slicks with 19's for a little extra speed!

    :bag:

     

    I haven't been riding half as much as you...I usually get out about once a week...Typicly for about 20 mile rides. The rest of my family isn't as fast as me, so I either ride alone at a good pace or with them for a short distance. My mom has been riding a lot, but she just does distance, no speed for her.

     

    If you ever are in the D.C. area, e-mail me and I can send you some nice cue sheets, any distance you like :hug:

     

    Actually, I might be interested in that 1,300 mile route...I've never done anything like it before...The most I've ridden in a day is 100, and that was when I was 13 :blink: I could probably still do one if I actually rode more often...Problem being that in order to ride fast enough to finish it I'd have to find someone willing to pace 14mph with me....

    Click for Spoiler:

    Does that mean he won? Forgive my ignorance on the topic, I never really got into racing (of any kind).

    No VBG, that just means he is currently in the lead, and he will probably loose it in the next couple days. He's aiming to win the whole thing, not just stages. It's a 23 day race, he's looking at the long run. :bow:

    Yeah, I don't think the men have it too bad either, between the female joggers and the cyclists who unzip their jerseys really far...I don't think they're complaining :blink:

     

    Just out of curiosity, why kind of riding do you do? Distance? Racing....?

    Mostly distance. I also own a mountain bike, but I love the speed and silence from a road bike. However, I also run a lot, and have participated in a handful of marathons, so I'm thinking about training for a triathlon to get the best of both worlds.

    Since it was raining we couldn't ride our bikes, but we had some friends over, watched the Tour de France, ate a really yummy dinner (garlic/herb encrusted lamb :bow: ) then after everyone left, I watched the end of the fireworks on TV.

     

    Overall we decided it felt more like Thanksgiving than the 4th of July :blink:

    And who says it isn't sexy? How can you beat young, strong men in spandex? And usually tasteful (if that's possible) spandex :bow:

    I'm a cyclist, and if I had a nickel for every woman who whistled at me out the window of her car or from the sidewalk, I'd be able to buy a few more bikes. They like the spandex and cut up legs, but I think they also find something exotic about a guy who

    shaves his legs..... I don't know.... maybe not.

    Lol!

    Trip?

     

    Uniforms tend to be how people pinpoint any cartoon character of Star Trek characters, just a hint  :bow: (and not just with yours, if you look around online all of them have uniforms to at least identify the timeframe/series)

    So do you mean I should post them with uniforms? Like you said, it's easy to pinpoint the time frame/series with those. I kinda' didn't want it to be that easy. I mean, look! I've gotten four different series, so far. That's kinda' what I wanted. But I'm not sure what you meant when you said "just a hint."

     

    I'll post who it is sometime tomorrow, everyone. Thanks to all who have responded so far!

    You don't need to put rank or color, but the line and style of the uniform would help place the character and make it easier to identify. :blink:
