Tag! No Tag Backs!

Well it was bound to happen, I've been tagged by Bryan on the latest meme that's floating around the biking web.

This particular meme was started by Fat Lad, and the idea is based on the “my old mother went to the market and bought” memory game. Only in this case, each blogger in the thread lists something that was bought at the LBS in June. Here’s the list thus far, with my addition at the bottom:

  1. Fat Lad went to the bike shop in June and all he bought was: A new PC971 Sram Chain and a Cassette Spanner and a chain wear tool.
  2. TOB went to the bike shop in June and all she bought was: a new pair of ruby red Sidis and some X-Series Cleats (but it’s only the 4th!). (Editors Note: Surprise, Surprise…a lady cyclist bought shoes…Ruby Red no less…LOL!).
  3. Mike J went to the bike shop in June and he bought two Gel Flasks and some Handle Bar Grips.
  4. 331 Miles went to the bike shop in June and he bought a pair of Performance Ultra II Bib Shorts.
  5. Biking To Live went to the bike shop in June and picked up a new tube and CO2 cartridge.
  6. Weiland went to the bike shop in June and looked at clip on aero bars. However, I bought a dozen CamelBak Podium water bottles from Bonktown.

I've had my eye on bonktown as they have had the bottles come up a few times, but each time I missed them. So I sat diligently at my computer waiting for them to come up when I saw they were suppose to come up that day. I guess this is where I tag the next unsuspecting blogger... Doug let's here what you bought in preperation for the Ride for Heart.

    When you tweeted that you bought the dozen bottles and there was 10 minutes left on the sale, I clicked over to buy some. Except it was the 11th minute. To add insult to injury, they had a Quintana Roo tri frame up for sale. Trigeeks need their own site.

    That's what happened to me the 2 other times they came up before. I kept missing it by a minute or two. I'll continue to keep my eyes open for them for you. I think when they come up they are usually only up for 15 minutes, not the standard 30 or whatever it is.
