Commitment.
Things just land on our desk in the V-Bunker. This is one of them. Not really knowing what to do with it, it seemed best to share it with our fellow Velominati. @del loves his cycling and @del gets “misty”. Though I don’t know what that means I hope I never get that misty. I’d have to get highly misty to end up with my first tattoo, beside the greasy chainring tattoo I rarely put on my right calf.
VLVV, Gianni
After a great ride out I conform to the Rules to the best of my ability, however on this one occasion I appear to have misinterpreted these Rules slightly. What should of been Rule #93 seems to have joined forces with Rule #47 resulting in me not conforming to Rule #52. As you can imagine things started to get a little misty, I have always wanted some more ink (tattoo for those not down with the kids) and I have always struggled with what to have done. I didn’t want the normal stuff you see, I wanted it to be bike related.
It was during the misty moment that I had my flash of inspiration. The Rules book caught my eye. That cool orange glow got me. I wanted the V and the cog on my leg. However I wanted to take it one rotation further, so the following day I knew I had to follow Rule #81. I went to my fellow cyclist who also happens to be a tattoo artist and set him this challenge. I explained that my legs were my machines for cycling and that I wanted the V and the orange cog incorporated into the design.
After six hours of me repeating Rule #5 to myself in my head I was done, All I need to say is Rule #72.

@Chipomarc, I believe the term you're looking for is that you're "past" the age...
@Uncle V, as with @barracuda, I question your math... unless I'm in the 1%? (whoo hoo!)
and finally, @Velonail, I was going along with you right up until you pulled out the line "Don't bitch like a little girl". Just in case the context isn't clear or the efforts of this community to give voice to Women's cycling have been overlooked, I leave the following;

Sincerely, the very proud father of a "little" girl.
We all learn our lessons the hard way. Some will not learn. Others are too hard. Don't allow this stuff to get in the way.
and I'm thankful that I have not been voted off the island by now
Wait... unless this is what you were talking about??
The world's a more interesting (that means better btw) place with us all not being cut from the same cloth that's for damn sure !! Cheers all.
Does the overspray below the knee suggest that this is a temporary tat and that the collective chain is being pulled per Rule #43?
@Del
so you're aiming to ride 250mi per week ?? May 2015 ?? i have a goal to register a routine 250mi week, but even when i attempted a 200mi one day route last october, i failed to get it going that week. 2016 then ??
@DeKerr
looks like level 300 pain there _ referencing the movie 300
@universo
Lol i have a few planned but the other riders tend to disagree. 2016 will indeed be the year to do the 200 miles in a day. Thanks for checking out the website I hope you enjoyedit. Thanks del
@velominoldy
