Jodi, you can buy me the jacket, or a nice t-shirt will do!

12 or 13 miles for me this weekend, I hope the wheels don't fall off.

 

[syko]

Theta You're a wheeler too????

 

[Jodi]

Syko - Collen's not a "wheeler", just a figure of speech!

Colleen - I'm not buying you a DANG thing, bad enough I've gotta share a room with you .

Jean - Of course you'll get a medal, we all will, right? Right?

Not sure what type of souvenir I'm gonna get yet....too much to choose from.

 

[syko]

You're right, we'll get those medals!

I'd actually love to hear about your wheels, Syko. I may not be able to talk shop with you, but please enlighten us hear on the thread about what it is you do!

Jodi I race a "crank", well when its not in pieces

There are two types of racing chair. A crank chair is for people who can not (my case), or do not want to use a racing chair.
With a crank you sit in a netural position (legs out stright) and in stead of pushing the wheels with you hands you turn a crank to move the wheels. It puts a lot less stress on your body.

Most big races have seperate classes for "push rim" & "crank". Smaller ones like Disney, only have "push rim", so when a crank races there we are considered an exhibiton, thats why eventhough I won the Princess it did not count. (to Disney, but it did my sponsors!!)

I crased a few monts ago at 30mph and I have been trying to get my chair fixed, as parts are custom made it takes time, it would have been quicker to get a new one, but to $$$$$$.

I am just waiting for my wheels to be made, yes made, as even they have to be custom. I should have them the end of september, then I can start training!!!!!!

My Mom is comming to babysit for me.
I have not seen her in 1 1/2 years.
Her airfaire was about the same price as a sitter in NY, so she said she wolud fly in just for the weekend.

 

[syko]

Got my hotel booked.

 

[Jodi]

NICE! Where are you staying?

 

[syko]

We are staying for one night only at the Astoria Towers.
It's not too far from the bus pick up and close enough for my not to need to use the bus back from the finish either.

As I have decided that I would like to get something from the Tiffany ING NYC range instead of a jacket etc.
I had a look around there site and found this:

I showed it to my DH and I did not get a very good response.
