Does anyone else save their numbers? You know, from organized rides? When I rode my very first "event" ride that had a number I was SO excited... I mean, ME... I had a number... me who spent all her young adult years very overweight completely inactive...
so I kept that number and taped it under my bike gear rack in my garage... since then I have saved every number for every event... and they're all taped upTo me, there's something really fun about having those silly numbers...
Anyone else do this... or am I the only nut out in left field???

The only one I saved was from the Top Hat last year when the entire team signed it. That was very special.

I too keep mine...although they just hang out in a box under my bed as I haven't yet decided where to post them.
I keep all the race stats written on the back of my race numbers for future reference...so there's a good reason to keep those.

I have some of mine. Some disintegrated.
I will say I was a bit panicked when I though I had lost my Death Ride number - which has a sticker on it from each of the five passes. Then I realized I had clipped it to a magnet on the refrigerator!! (Probably should use that as motivation to open the refrigerator less, but I don't.

I've kept most of mine but I don't have that many, just Peanut Ride and Ride Across Indiana. There's a little corner on top of a bookcase for my tiny little athletic endeavor collection - it amazes me that there's stuff there at all since those sportsmanship trophies from chldhood

Yes. I have all of mine. My riding friend from work and I have even framed some of them with our medals and put them up in our office conference room.
