earning respect

[Callistus Valerius]

Been riding lately, from head to toe in Assos, and you would be
surprised how you get invited into a paceline or to join a group ride.
Although you may be poser, you become a respected poser wearing Assos.
Mayber ability isn't everything, maybe appearance has something to do with
it. In the Assos jersey selection, I chose the Edelweiss jersey, take a
look

Forget the intervals, and invest in some Assos.

Don't you have to sing like Julie Andrews to wear something like that?

*laughing hysterically*

Many, many years ago, back when I was in my late teens and living at
home (and just getting into the joys of cycling), my Mum bought me my
first ever cycling jersey (already had knicks) - a navy blue
Brescia-Lat jersey...

"Thanks Mum!" I said, "Why did you get this?"

"Well son, I figured that even though you don't ride like a real
cyclist, then maybe you could at least look like one..."

Mum always had a good way of letting you know when you were taking
yourself too seriously...

On the same topic - ever notice how in races, that the most carbon
fibre bikes, Dura Ace gruppo, best jerseys, etc, etc, are almost always
being ridden in the D-grade group?? *laughing* Yes, I am as guilty of
that as the next guy...

Cheers all,
Absent Husband

My sarcastometer is off today - so please tell me you're joking. If
not, what kind of paceline are you talking about? D3 squad or
fat-freddy-Saturday-am. If it's the former you're full of ***** cuz we
wouldn't let you near us and if it's the latter no one cares. Go post
on bicycling.com.

What's your point?

He's referring to the singing Von Trapp family from the Austrian Alps.
The jersey doesn't refer to my singing prowess, but does tell others of my
climbing prowess. I sometimes, of course, do sing as I climb anything above
a 8% grade, unless it bothers the others, then I'll shut up.

Captain von Trapp sang "Edelweiss". I don't even think Christopher
Plummer did his own singing.

frog in her throat. RBR IS educational!
