    Don't worry, it's probably just going to be young roadies who show up in spandex.

    the lady i spoke to wants us to be sweaty when we audition. i snickered. however, that shouldn't be difficult with the forecasted temperature a possible 90 degrees.

    and they want us to "ride hard". i'm not entirely sure what kind of hard riding they want us to do downtown on mtn. bikes.

    sounds like a really annoying hassle to me. did they say what the actual commercial was going to consist of for the road bike riders?

    yeah sounds like it might be fun but true the hassle seems not worth it.

  26.  

    Why don't we show up and just run into people the whole time.

    Wear a bear suit or something.

  27.  

    is a bear suit different from my normal outfit/

    and yes!

    Maybe if I keep my beard a couple more days I could fool them into thinking im 25.

    I like how it says 'ride through real rush hour traffic'. Haha. I rarely think traffic here is that bad. I dont know if this city has ever seen a gridlock, with the exception of an occasional bridge raising.
