Default Dude in Spandex

Don't miss your chance to see Dude in spandex.

What?

https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg...upId=251350984

Ride2Survive:
Pedalling time: 15 hours
Distance: 400 KM
Climbing: 12,000 feet
Days to complete: 1

www.ride2survive.ca

Quote:
"The spirit of the Ride2Survive lies in the memory of those who have lost their battle with cancer, those in the throes of their fight, those in remission, and those who remain as yet undiagnosed."
Frankly, I'm in denial right now that I'll be one of the solo riders, and am simply telling everyone I know about it so I have no weak sauce excuses come ride day, or to stay on the couch on those rainy Sunday afternoons when I should be putting in the miles.

I need help to meet and exceed my fundraising goals, so here's the scoop...sponsor me for either a little or a lot, and you get:

~A photo of me in tight spandex that you can use for blackmail the rest of my life.
~Unlimited, unedited, untouched, and uncontested piss-taking on me, in this thread.
~My heartfelt thanks.
~A spot on my body.

Pardon?

Well, many of the veteran riders of the ride2survive started a tradition of writing the names of "Angels" on their arms and legs…an Angel being someone close to you that has suffered from this disease, in one way or another. This way you're not only sponsoring me, but I'm working on the behalf of your Angel. How cool is that? With your contribution comes a digital photo of your Angel's name, which will be written somewhere on my legs or arms...so when I'm suffering, I will look down and get a stiff reminder as to why I'm doing this insane event.

Besides, let's get real...one day of suffering for me doesn't compare to the millions out there suffering from the real thing.

Hook a brother up. And thanks.

~Mike.

Cool stuff Dude.

Donation towards your goal done.

And I chose an Angel fitting for TTP - not sure about getting a stiffy about it but to each his own
If you could... Would You?

Very generous Regs- thanks very much! I'll be sure to write Keeper's name somewhere suitable. Inner thigh, maybe, and you can have the money shot.

Once again, many thanks. In memory of Marcus. Cool.

Yeah, following the advice of the coaches, plus my own stuff. Back in "the day" when I raced, I'd think nothing of knocking off a couple of 100 KM plus road rides over a weekend. Three weeks ago I went out for my first century (110 actually) since about 22 or so, and felt great...till KM 85. Then I hit this wall. The last 15 KM was a reminder of the cruelty of age and time separation in an endurance sport. Last weekend we did the same route...I ate a bunch before, and during, and felt relatively fresh after.

So...coming along slowly.

Somebody posted a generous- anonymous- donation in Keeper's name.

Many thanks to that anonymous person who's name sounds just like James Thompson.

I can't believe KNVB broke into Jackson's piggy bank.

It's so obvious.

Seriously though, excellent stuff from everyone on this!

I agree Regs. I am truly humbled by these donations. A lot of these aren't chump change by any means.

That being said, I'm going to be even more annoying and beligerant than normal, and keep bumping this thread.

And picture this...there is a damn good chance that by the time I roll into Hope, I'll be crying in self pitty, and by Mission looking for a ditch to die in. I'm talking real, big, poor me tears. If that image brings a smile to your face, you owe the Canadian Cancer Society a few bucks.

First off:

1. without any name acknowledged, as that of author, contributor, or the like: an anonymous letter to the editor; an anonymous donation.
2. of unknown name; whose name is withheld: an anonymous author.
Second: Although I'm really just here to whack your pee-pee, since you called me out, I'll take you up on the body part. Regs has 'Keeper' covered so I'll offer you 3 choices:
  • I Karl Marx
  • Vote NDP!
  • BCTF Solidarity

Bastage .

You get one "written somewhere on my legs or arms". You don't get to dictate where. Pick one of the three.

Dude, I want my company logo stamped across your forehead so when they focus in on your hair they see my name. IF the forehead is covered by helmet, your cheek will do! and not ass cheek.

Yes, thanks SixFyv. Also, thanks for the recent Hawaii Facebook photos of FourNyn- as of now saved, printed in color, and hidden in my secret drawer.
