|   Photo Caption Contest on RoadbikeREVIEW?? | gregg
Sep 28, 2001 8:53 AM | | Hey Guys,
Given Tigs post and all, do you guys think it would be good to have a photo caption contest on RoadbikeREVIEW?? We run one on MtbREVIEW and it seems pretty popular, but my only concern on running one for Roadbike would be that sometimes these kinds of contests draw....uh..."inappropriate" comments and things sometimes have the tendency to get out of hand.
Of course, we would set some guidelines and with you alls help, we would keep it clean.
What do you think?
Thanks for the input.

p.s. we would give the photo submitter a RoadbikeREVIEW t-shirt and the caption winner would get a t-shirt, cycling cap, and socks (sorry, still no jerseys). |

And you're from further South than Kentucky too, because we would say it "With your all's help." |

"yuz'all" |

She says "water" like wo-der (the "wo" sounds almost like "wool")! |
