I’m all for it.

What is the best time of the year to be on the French Riviera? May? PERFECT!

By then I’ll have my requisite Mdot tattoo.

3

May is good. Grand Prix. Cannes Festival. Monaco 1/2 IM. Cherry season in Provence (Mt. Ventoux). It is good.

Guy or girl?

Spread the word.

4

All of those things sound fantastic to me.

Guy. Not sure I’ll have the required additional single with me though. Does that mean I have to pay double? :wink:

5

Groove. I can help with the website if you like.

6

no man, sorry, it means you don’t qualify to enter. Hard strict reality. We can’t have a 1900 guys chasing 7 gals. That would be highly uncivilized, even in Europe. Gotta keep it 1:1. Ex-girlfriends are totally OK. If it means you need to break up an otherwise blossoming relationship to get them to come over, no problem, we are tolerant types.

7

you are ON girl. email and we will sort out dee-tales

8

DAMN! Oh Well. I’ll work on getting an ex-girlfriend by then and drag her along.

9

That’s the spirit!

I have a masseuse lined up already, perhaps a dentist too. Gotta look our best: Teeth whitening in the post-race refreshment tent.

10

Maybe a barber for the post race haircut before the after party.

11

Do we get a bonus for bring more than one girl with us?

12

Hey if Hid brings more than one can I count that as one for me? I’m going to weasel into the race somehow.

13

I have to figure out a way to be single for this first…but I’m sure if I plan according I can taper right into singlehood by the event :stuck_out_tongue:
.

14

Is that a one week or two week taper?

15

I like to be single for at least six weeks at a time.

16

I guess people aren’t as excited as we are about this prospect. What, people don’t like the Frnech Riviera? Don’t like triathlon? Or don’t like dripping wet, single, triathletes? I’m confused here!!! :wink:

18

Well congratulations married folk.

I think the video should be called “Girls Gone Wild on the Riviera: Triathlon style” What do you think?

19

Maybe that won’t fly. Maybe just “Triathletes Gone Wild: Riviera Style” Hmmm. It’s work in progress.

20

5 minutes off overall time for each extra of the female variety that you can muster up…

22

LOL! Be careful. You never know who’s watching.
