Come on... the party is in the afternoon, you'll be home in time to catch Extreme Home Makeover. :)

sorry guys, I let you down over lunch... One of the girls here at work gave me a ride to Chipotle. There goes .25 walking miles :(

At least my vintage Specialized Rockhopper is from the early 90's. No idea what gears are on it, but I don't use them all anyway. Nice Kenda semi-slick tires too. Two different people have commented on what a beater it is. I thanked them.

I live a block from Garmin... :wink:

Is there any hope? do they have the entire company riding this year?

Teams by mileage:
1. Garmin Bleeding Edge (305) 1015.07
2. EarthRiders 744.42


You'll need some super-sweet ninja skillz to get to most of the bikes. A lot of them are inside in our offices. :D

We have 63 riders signed up, but only about 50 had actually logged mileage as of this afternoon. Lots of folks live close by, hence the low average per rider.

I have ridden my garage sale '91 Centurion road bike, and my single speed, rigid beater MTB so far. I guess I need to bring the hardtail MTB in once for completeness. My 5 mile round trip won't break any records, though.

Brian, you work for Garmin? Any chance you could get us all hooked up with the employee discount on one of them new super-stylin' nuclear powered GPS/DVD/VCR/Hottie Detectors?

After you go and sabotage all of your co-workers bikes, that is. It's only right, since you've now been discovered wandering through the enemy's camp. :twisted:

(sigh) Okay, Joe's right. It's all about getting more people on their bikes.

And winning! It's about winning!

I have been riding the "K"ollasal Hunk of Shit Cyclo... or for short the KHS. :)

I would rather be on the SS Puch, but my right knee has been feeling blah for the last couple o days, so I'm riding the only bike I own with gears.

Did he say Ninja skillz??? I think he's calling me out!! :twisted:
