Nice and normal = boring. You don't want boring. You want a Bike Boy. Who can swim. And run. And -- looks good in a speedo.

Lol - do I? Id be happy with one that doest run and just occassionally tries to swim if thats easier!

See? You DO want a bike boy! I knew it!

True... although if they dont ride then getting on the bike means I get 'ME' time and that wouldnt be such a bad thing

Nope. Not buying it. You want a Bike Boy. You can get your "me" time some other way.

Well I like admiring bike boys... I do have a thing for guys who are good at 'guy stuff' - you know changing lightbulbs and fiixing things etc...

So a bike guy with mechanical skills...

He was really awesome and would be a great catch for someone.  I wonder if people have a hard time seeing past his rather unique build.  He big and buff-in a slightly frightening sort of way.  His neck must be bigger than my thigh.  I was a little taken aback at first, but that impression didn't last long. 

He does have a sexy Cervelo...

My problem is that I am better at that stuff than most of the guys I meet.  That is part of why Marcus was appealing, but seeing as how he is 14 years older than me...

Oh I like big and buff - its that whole liking guy guys thing Ive had going on since forever...

I have to confess - Im not a HUGE cervelo fan... am I kicked out of BT now?

SO I put in my log that i feel like i should 'thank' cycle guy for his help... if he gets around to helping me of course...

I dont know him that well and i dont want him to think I have some weird crush or anything... so should i get him something/bake or just leave it for fear he might think Im weird?

I need to amend that a bit.  he is not just awesome.  He is an amazingly kind and compassionate guy.  First and foremost he is dedicated to his faith-being a Christian is a prerequisite.  He is going to want someone who will truly appreciate and share his beliefs.  Second comes his family.  He is a great uncle and loves kids.  He is successfully self employed as a contractor and has developed a reputable company.   He loves the outdoors.  The only drawback that I see is that he might be a little too focused on getting in workouts...but that very well may be to make up for the time he so desires to be spending with the family he does not yet have.

Maybe we will be ostracized together.

Sounds like a lovely guy - well at least is he has the workouts thing who ever he ends up with will be able to trade of that time for personal time of their own...

Bake him the best cookies ever and give them to him while they are still warm.

If I spent too much time worrying about being taken as weird Dave may never have been more than a casual acquaintance. 

Then again, I am a little surprised that I didn't scare him off.  I have an overdeveloped inclination to nurture and try take care of people.  I practically was mothering the guy.   

My favourite bikes are De Rosa... although I have developed a soft spot for Colnago's too... most beautiful I have ever seen in real life is a powder blue Tomassini...

Each to their own I guess!

I hope so.  I had the same thing happen in September (or maybe it was October) and I am fairly sure it wasn't too long...

Definitely second that. Cookies are ALWAYS a good idea. And also not to worry about being taken as weird--you are a delightful, warm lady.

Lol - no way are they getting from home to the office still warm - guess thats the bit that makes it weird... since he works in the office (and we are all open plan) I cant think of a way of doing it that wont have an audience either...

What do you think about Fondries?

Did I mention that I met him on BT???

We carpooled to the Autumn classic triathlon.  There probably is something about him in my race report. 

Aww schucks I will give it some thought... although when i will find time to  back cookies before the end othe of the week i dont know!

That does make it a little more complicated.  What if you left them on his desk with a note that just said thanks for your help-don't bother with a store bought card or stationary, just keep it simple. 

Aesthetically? I havent had much exposure to them to be honest... (and all brands have some beautiful bikes and some that are average)

Some arent too bad!

Edited: yeah that sounds bad... Im a bit of a European frame snob sometimes!

Thats kind of what Im thinking... just need to find a way to do it where I dont have an audience of the entire IT department when I walk in there to do it!

you could get them to the office while they are still warm, but if you are worried that it will look like you are too thoughtful...

Wrap them up and put them in a paper bag with a note.  Swing by work a bit early and then go back out for some coffee or something.   

Not a bad idea... I have a 8am meeting on Friday so I could swing by and drop them in on my way I guess...

Although with drinks on Thursday night I dont see a lot of cooking in my future... I like the brown paper bag idea (not much effort)

This could all end up not happening due to a lack of time!!!

Thats cool! Aaah Bt romances... I do like them

The note bit would be easy:

'Coach - Thanks for your help, here's something for you to work off in the New Year.'
