Sweet New Jersey Makes For A Great Ride!
The weather is great right now for July, I’ve really enjoyed watching the Tour and I was pumped up and ready to go out for a solid ride. But to make things even better, a package arrived in the mail from a kind friend. It held a new and very sharp Team Gerolsteiner jersey. I, of course, had to take it on its inaugural ride. The jersey must have had me feeling “SOPRO” because even with a 10 mph (16.09 kmh) headwind and some good hills, I had a solid ride of 31.5 miles @ 19.3 mph average 
(that’s 50.69 kms @ 31.06 kmh).
Isn’t it wild how much something like a cool new jersey can motivate us? Just imagine what you would feel like sporting the Maillot Jaune in the Tour. Right now Cadel understands!
Cool new jersey!! You have been riding very fast with or without the fancy new duds.

Did you notice in the photo on my last post that my friend was wearing a Gerolsteiner outfit (with matching bib shorts).
Psssst If your wife is reading - Bib shorts for Donald’s Birthday!
JEFF– Thanks! Maybe if get a yellow one I’ll be even faster? Naaaaa… not gonna do it.
Very sharp! You look like a pro!
WILL– Yes, I saw your buddies kit… sharp! So, here’s how the conversation went: “Hey honey did you read my latest post? Got some nice comments too…” I think she knew I was up to something.
UNCADAN8– Thanks… I guess if I can’t ride like a pro at least I can look like a pro?
I have the whole Gerolsteiner team kit, the blue is very pleasant to wear and what I like most about it is the fact that they fit me like a glove and the chamois on the shorts is really comfortable on longer rider. Santini makes great apparel.
Or is it Nalini, can’t remember..
RON– Cool… yeah Will had mentioned his friend had on the kit in a recent post which I did see. Looks sharp… I’ve dropped the hint to my wife about the bib shorts as a gift idea.
Well, wait and see if the request gets processed soon ?
Nice - congrats to Gerol on the polka-dot win.
RON– That would be cool… and it’s a bit of a collectors item soon I guess since their stopping their sponsorship this year.
Arlyn– Yes… the team rode well this Tour!
