Clothes are the best identifying feature in a ride or race. With the helmet and the sunglasses and all that sunscreen, someone wouldn't tell if it were had he seen you the next day in a grocery store :) Yeah, you have a point.

Then... whatever you're wearing they'll just say, "The guy with the .... jersey... he's the one that kicked my butt!" Ron– Nice point.

In my collection, the color I like most is black, which is a full sleeve Assos F13 or something. I was told by my girlfriend that I need a contrast against the bike so I'll stand out more. I believe her. Before that point, I stuck to colors on the bike which made me a circus act. Now I'm not a circus act. :) But neither do I fuss over what to wear. I just want to make people suffer on the race course that's all :) I don’t have 20 or 30 like Sprocket, but its nice to have an optimum number so you dont have to run to laundry every time.

I agree... you have to be moved by the jersey I think for a new purchase. These day if it isn't really unique... I'll pass. Cheers, Donald Hi Mike…

Seriously though, its been a while since I bought a jersey for the sake of having it. They're all club jerseys these days. Two One dries while your wearing the other.

I met a few people, but I think/hope, I would have put two and two together if I met someone who's name matched a local cycling blog. I don’t think we met at the downtown ride.

Almost as bad as, say, wearing a Trek jersey and riding a LeMond. No no no. I actually have a plain yellow jersey, long-sleeved, so that motorists will see me and perhaps not hit me when I am riding when it is cold outside. I would be a bit squeamish about wearing a TdF one, although a woman on our club ride today was doing so. Black jerseys look good, Donald: I am thinking Kostritzer or Iles Baleares. Sometimes you just have to suffer a bit for style.

I remember your post about your new Assos jersey. I guess it's been good to you. I was just looking on line at jerseys last night. Not easy to match the color scheme. My bike is black and yellow. Black jerseys get hot in the summer and Yellow? Well, unless I'm climbing Alpe d'Huez in the same time as Lance... I don't feel right wearing yellow.:) Groover– Champions jerseys… sweet.

The jersey I'm most proud of is my 2007 Club Champions Jersey. My best jersey is an Assos top of the range jersey I just bought earlier this year. But the most important thing is to always look stylish and have your oufit colors matching your bike, shoes, helmet etc ... Always Bella in selle!
