They said they should ship by then, but here we are Sun Sept 25. only really four days to receive it with no shipping email in sight. Really a dissapointment.

I’m sure that’s true. As I believe I have mentioned, I am a yokel. An especially uncultured one. – FC

The Hammer just sat in a chair opposite, her elbows on the armrests, and patiently held that phone there for 35 minutes while Andy and I talked.

Awesome, I am hoping to get my FC gear before levi's gran fondo, not looking good. One week away, no shipping email yet, bummer. My other jersey is shot. Lets hope. BY THE WAY FATTY, WHERE IS A REVIEW OF THE NEW HONEY STINGER STRAWBERRY WAFFLE. They should of gave you the hook up already. I love Honey Stinger. <em>To my dismay, I haven't yet tried a Strawberry Honey Stinger Waffle. Hoping to really really soon! You should email Twin Six and let them know why it's important you get that jersey by whatever day you need it. They're very good about special requests like that. - FC</em> Never had the desiree to go to france, but after reading your trip, it is on my bucket list.

Good work! For sure made my Friday a bit brighter. I specifically loved the description of the difference in roads between the US and Europe and how all the goat paths developed over time into these famous climbs. I can't wait to ride them someday. <em>Yeah, I'm already trying to figure how I can go back sometime. Really pricey and time-consuming, but worth it.

My Family spent 17 days in Germany and France this past summer. That was one of the most striking differences we saw... No one rushed us at meal time. That is an incredible understatement.... Our 5 year old had fun playing at the beer garden swing set while we finished eating. This happened almost every day. I like the Hammer’s comment about how long it takes to eat.
