Rider Identification Guide

On many rando rides, I have been mistaken for Peg. This was before I even met Peg. Cecil is also mistaken for Peg. I am not sure either of us has been mistaken for Lesli, but I will include her as well. Hence, here is a handy field identification guide:

    2. yellow or orange Showers Pass jacket

    3. yellow Showers Pass jacket

    4. yellow Showers Pass jacket

    Hmmmmm. And how is this a distinguishing characteristic?

    Love this post. Thanks for the pictures. You all look great.

    Cheers, Gene in Tacoma

    :-) When we are all wearing our Showers Pass Elite jackets, Peg's is more orange than yellow. Cecil has a blatantly orange Showers Pass jacket that isn't an Elite, but a lighter-weight model. Clear? :-)

    Very funny!

    Update: I've now added pink accents to my palette in the form of a Rudy Project helmet (typically covered by a yellow helmet cover).

    Perhaps I should adopt a stuffed animal talisman (or invite my real time hound, Chaz, to run alongside my bike).
