Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The Best Bib Number ever

This morning, I went to register to ride the Kitsap Color Classic and check out the bib number they gave me!



I thought that they should have given me a pair of horns to tape to my helmet along with spikey devil tail.

ngateguy has a theory that many cars lent me a wide berth whilst passing because of the bib number.

...a keeper if I ever saw one! Hilarious! (although there are some who would develop a nervous twitch at the sight of such a thing...)

Particularly fitting is the part that says "Please fill out the emergency information on the back of this number".

So if man is five and the devil is six, then that must make me seven.

I've had 69 for a number before. I thought it was cool but it turned out to be hard to pick up women wearing it.

69 always seemd like an odd way to describe that particular act for a hetero couple. Cuz if you think about it, the woman has two holes and the guy has two sticky-out bits. Shouldn't it be like C8 or something? 69 can still work for gay couples, at least.

There's a cream the doctor can prescribe for the second sticky-out bit, or sometimes they can be removed with a laser.
