I know what shirt size I take with T6 and, not living in the US, wouldn't want to have to return a shirt if the new stuff is different.

May all your rides in life be enjoyable. Some friends of mine did the same thing. They got engaged on a group ride at Guadalupe state park (TX). We all knew what was going to happen. She suspected some thing was up but she was not sure what until they sat down on a big rock by the river. Oh that is so sweet!

Do you now drop her, or let her drop you (or try to hang with her as the case may be)? Who's now leading the ride? Totally changed dynamic! Still for sure one ride that they will never forget. <em>They mostly rode together, though occasionally one would drop the other on a climb. The important thing is, they stuck together in the 25 miles of headwind we had to cope with at the end of the ride. They got through that nightmare, so I figure they can get through anything. - FC</em> Congrats to the newly engaged!

When I buy a jersey, I will have something like 15 biking jerseys that I've gotten buy buying, riding in events, gifts, from my company, etc. In like 15 years of riding, I think I've had one zipper break and one that was almost all white that just got too gross. Other than that, as far as I can tell, these things never wear out. So, my question/blog idea is, "how many bike jerseys is enough and what criteria do you use to get rid of one"?

I forgot my jersey and water bottle but remembered the ring. Thankfully, she said "Yes" despite my forgetfulness. I'm sure Fatty can come up with another "disorder" with all the other symptoms I displayed that day. I attempted a nice proposal on a bike ride before.
