Amici Veloci began when a group of Calif women participating in a women's cycling forum formed a team for a charity ride. Our team grew to include our ride buddies, male and female, roadies and dirt riders, across the USA. Though some of us have never met we've become good friends and ride together whenever we can. This blog is to keep all our members up to date on our happenings as well as sightings of our tattoo and jersey. Read below for our shared adventures and maybe a recipe or two.

Friendship, Life, and Cycling
SK and I have been having an offline email conversation about this little (big?) electronic world through which many of us have become acquainted. But for the Team Estrogen forum, many of us may have never met...just waved a friendly hello as we rode by. But now as a result of that forum and Team AV, we have new friends that have affected our cycling and everyday lives in many ways.
Fer instance, do not most of us gals now call restrooms "elephants"? And we all know what a "cheese hill" is.
Yesterday I was out skate skiing in Park City and I ran across this sign. I immediately thought of Princess Zippy, who introduced most of us to the term "cheese hill". After zipping by the sign, I turned around and went back to take a picture. And it made me chuckle a few more times that day.
Thanks, P Zip and everyone else for making my life a little richer!

That picture makes me so long to go snowshoeing. It's been forever and ever and ever! Maybe a group snowshoeing trip? But I don't want to drive up I-80 on a weekend. Nope, can't make me. Well, maybe for really good friends . . .
Skate skiing? I want to learn x-country skiing -- how many years have I been saying that? That photo is so inviting.
Are there elephants in Yewtah too?
