Jerseys.
Showing some spine, a cyclist prepares to take off Saturday from the rest-stop at Paradise Cove Marina.
As still others showed, not all jerseys are florescent yellow…
Helen Chisholm and Kelly McQuoid of Pittsboro wore java-themed jerseys and rode on a bike built for two. Behind them the Paradise Cove shark.
A more Cubist representation. Doug Matthews from Athens, GA says he got it on a cycling event on the bayous of Louisana. Pamlico County’s roads he says, were much better….
Ann Munn and Terry Beal of the Wake County based Team On Draft show the front and backs of their team’s shirt. The group numbers about 600 and raises money for MS rides. About 20 of them took part in the rides through Pamlico County. (Their mascot, which was left back in Oriental, was a Barbie doll they’d named Turlene.)
A commemorative jersey from another CNC Coastal Ride in another coastal NC town. (A number of riders said Oriental was their favorite of the three towns that rotate in hosting the CNC’s spring weekends.)
This jersey wasn’t a promotional item but had a story. The wearer said it was a “hand me up” from a friend who wanted to forget the person who’d given it to her.
