raised. I had little trouble raising $500. That earned me a "Sapphire
Spokes Club" jersey, which they were out of but I should be getting in the
mail soon. My employer supplied another jersey, and this was the first
time I've ever worn one. I have to admit, they're right comfy to ride in.
Cycling shorts were another matter. I've never worn them. Always thought
they looked a bit silly, especially on me. But when the ride came, I
found myself just about the only rider out of 2600 not wearing them.
Concluding that maybe 2599 to 1 constituted a landslide vote, after the
first day I dropped into the LBS, a nice little place called Joyride, and
bought some. Again, I was pleasantly surprised how much more comfortable
they proved to be than blue jeans.
B@ndersnat wearing cycling jerseys and shorts??? Damm, there must be
something wrong with my news reader! :-)
