    Great info …but that website looks like a love child between GeoCities and Netscape 3.0.

    Hmmm…my lightest colored jersey is my Bike Arlington jersey (tied with my Hilly Hundred, but that is made of a heavier material).

    I’ve got something that’s more grey than black…

    So we’ve got 1/8th, ConsularRider, and Dirt. Who else is going to be doing T200 this weekend from the forum?

    Wow, I thought those little packets of gelled carbohydrates were silly, but ice slurries? Who’s going to brand and sell the special “cycle-specific” ice slurry?

    On second thought if this means I can ride one-handed while holding a cherry slurpee than I’m OK with it.

    Although I’m not riding on Saturday, I can still put this info to use as I stand in the heat for a couple hours in a black suit during my outdoor wedding ceremony. Cramping must be avoided at all costs!

    What? You don’t want to lock your knees and keel over like a member of the Black Watch? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn95OODZpcI

    I am a volunteer! I’ll be mingling with the DC Tri folks.

    I’ll be introducing soon my state-of-the-art cycling solution for optimum nutrition on even the hottest of days.

    Now you just need to change the name to VeloPops and put them in a carbon wrapper to save weight… ;)

    Please tell me it’s not *all* white. You know how that will turn out…
