Proud Pink Peeps (Page 7)

why helloooo Pat!

sooo, how's it working out for you, being Cat's slave and all???

newleaf - 2008-03-06 8:22 PM the bike shop called, my bike is ready.    wasn't supposed to be until Tuesday.  this is most excellent.  I have 5 hours of biking to do between tomorrow evening and Sunday evening.  going to earn my pink. 

Ohhhh... five hours in the saddle, I think you'll be pink alright.  Oh.  Wait.  Earn your pink.  As in peeps.  Right.  Carry on .

Yipppeeee!!!  I'm glad the bike's ready, though I am telling you, my bike wrench down here rocks.  It's worth the drive!

Happy pedaling.

Oh carp.  I can't believe I forgot to post this.  Whoever washes the towels for the spin room at the Y really messed up.  Something red made it's way in.  So yep, last night's spin therapy was complete with PINK TOWELS.

Coincidence?  Or the power of the Peep?

Coincidence?  I think not!  Clearly it's the power of the peep.  Maybe next time you'll get a pink princess towel...

OMG... no T.I.T.S. today... spent afternoon going across town to bike shop I knew would have some knowledge for me... I proved to be an idiot when I brought the front wheel instead of rear for sizing (need the cassette to match up for new one)... learned that it's going to cost me approx $200 to convert mtn bike over for first race (want to keep wheel for mtn biking and not have to keep changing rubber between terrain).... though I learned that I'll probably get really good at changing out my fork too (what a pain that's gonna be)

Soooo.....

I just spent 1 1/2 hr  on web searching for bikes.... found an 06 Giant Road for $220 on e-bay... brand new 06 Marin Verona for $450 (sold by shop)... and a few other interesting bikes.... unfortuantely, nothing in local ads.

I'm a little worried about guessing at stem length (but I figure 50 cm will be okay, it's hard to find smaller for sale "second-hand"

Any suggestions....

Well, the kids wore me out this morning, and I'm tired.... Hopefully tomorrow I'll sneak into the aerobics room and hop on a V-bike for a while (in the dark)....

Later.....

What size bike you looking at? 

Ummm...

Oh what the heck.  If we have another spin class like that one, I'll wear a pink princess shirt.  Ok, that's not true.

No biking on the schedule for me until Sunday.  I'll be out of town to see the finacee.  We're registering this weekend.  Well, she's registering.  I'm just making sure I shoot a sweet coffee maker.  It was my second choice.  Apparently, I'm not allowed to register for a Felt.

Oh, and tomorrow our department (all three of us) is moving to a new building.  A brand spanking new one with sweet new offices.  Complete with a fake plant and a painting of Beale Street.  I'll even have a beautiful view of my old building.  How special!

I'm only still awake because my dryer doesn't dry to well.  Have a great weekend, peeps!

Totally off this challenge for a bit, one of the reasons this site is so great is this:

A guy that's in the same mentor group as me couldn't swim 50 meters in October.  Now check out what he just did.

Anybody think they could hit up some inspires for him?  He deserves them ten times over for the work he's put into it.  I can't wait to swim in the morning after seeing that.

Don't be silly, you don't need a t-shirt... just wear a tiara instead.

Heh, I don't see why not!  I know plenty of guys that register at Home Depot.  Just sayin'... 

OK, let's see... coffee maker... repeat after me: 
- "Yes, of course I like that pattern.  It's classic, timeless, even."
- "We absolutely need that many place settings of everyday stuff.  You never know when 22 friends will drop by unexpectedly."
- "I can totally tell the difference between the stainless and the sterling."
- "Champagne tastes better in Waterford."
- "Whatever you say, Beautiful."
- "Oh hey, look at this sweet coffee maker..."

Have a great time this weekend and good luck with registering.  It's more fun than being poked in the eye with a sharp stick but less fun than riding your bike.

Hope both the office move and the clothes drying worked out without incident .

Awesome!  It is amazing to see progress like that.  Inspire away, folks!

Yup, trainer rides absolutely count!!! 

I'd really like to find a 48 or 49cm (small)  Afterall I only have a 28" inseam and stand 5'1.5" (gotta have that 1/2 " )

hmm.  something is afoot.  I washed my undershirts and accidentally had something red in there.  But only one of the undershirts came out pink.  I thought that was interesting. 

Hi Pink peeps -

sounds like some laundry challenges - only one shirt huh - very interesting

Bill, Nate's log is private.  I looked at his results in your mentor thread, though:

Major props to him and your whole group on the swimming!

Heh!!!!  I'm only looking for bike totals, not what time you rode. 

Heh!!!!  I'm only looking for bike totals, not what time you rode. 

you gotta admire the thought process though - hehe

ps

nice double post :P

Hmm.. didn't realize that.  That dude can run, and he just got picked as a wear tester for Brooks.  Two free pairs of shoes this year.  That is so cool.

Our group is doing timed miles next.  I've already reserved my place at the back of the pack.

Have a good weekend, peeps.  I'll be spending my Saturday in Bed Bath and Beyond and Target saying:

"Yes honey, we definitely need one of those." 

"How will it improve my training?" 

"I mean, ofcourse it will really tie the room together." 

You sound very well trained/ good at keeping the peace..

Nice double post, Sparkly Pink Tiara Princess. Trying to pad your post count or something? Not that *I* have any experience with something like post padding. LOL

Riiiiiight!
