What’s With the Jerseys and T’s?

Most of the jerseys and t-shirts I wear are for a reason. There’s either a story behind them, or they just say something to capture the mood. Some are for safety. Some are just comfortable. And some are just fun. Here are a few you’ll probably catch me wearing across America.

These define the trip of course.

There are others for other causes too…

The Great Cycle Challenge is a virtual ride that runs through June (You just log your miles throughout the month). I participated in 2016 and since I’ll be out there anyway, I will do it again in 2017. We raise funds for pediatric cancer research. It’s not my primary fund raiser, but it is an option… Great Cycle Challenge 2017 – donate.

This one honors my friends and family who have fought or are fighting cancer. Even though it’s a pink ribbon, I don’t limit my thinking to breast cancer.

Some are for reward. This one is for completing the Rapha Festive 500 in 2016. The Festive 500 is a challenge to ride 500 kilometers (310 miles) in the eight days between Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. All I can say is it was darn cold this year!

Some say something about me…

Where I’m from (at least now). Besides, I like the bear!

What I do.

Where I work (Kaiser Permanente)

For the hills…

And then there are those that are high vis for safety…

Some will just show off my fabulous cyclist tan!

The t-shirts really don’t need much explanation…

Or…

That’s part of my spy motto: Admit nothing. Deny everything. Demand proof. Make counter accusations. 🙂
